Star-Studded Gathering Celebrates Olympics in Paris

A high-profile gathering of celebrities from sports, entertainment, and media took place at Ralph Lauren’s Paris restaurant on Saturday evening, coinciding with the ongoing Olympic festivities in the French capital. The event attracted notable figures such as Oscar winner Jessica Chastain, Nick Jonas, and John Mulaney, alongside First Lady Jill Biden, who drew significant attention upon her arrival. Lorne Michaels, executive producer of "Saturday Night Live," humorously noted the wet shoes he wore from the previous night’s rainy opening ceremony, highlighting the star-studded atmosphere. Among the attendees were Olympic athletes who braved the rain during the opening ceremony, including Jeffrey Louis from the U.S. breaking team. Louis shared his experience of the wet conditions, stating that despite the discomfort, the athletes embraced the situation, recognizing their resilience. He humorously remarked on the futility of worrying about getting sick, given that their competitions were still ahead. Ogbogu, a volleyball player competing in her second Olympics, expressed her excitement about attending the Ralph Lauren event, identifying herself as a “fashion nerd.” She praised the elegant Mongolian team uniform, which has garnered acclaim, while proudly wearing her own Team USA kit. David Lauren, the brand’s chief branding officer, noted the impact of social media on Olympic fashion visibility, contrasting it with the slower pace of 2008 when the label first outfitted the U.S. team. The event underscored the intersection of fashion, sports, and celebrity culture during the Olympic Games.
