PARIS − Hollywood A-listers and sports celebrities won (fashion) gold medals of their own on the eve of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.
A star-studded prelude to the 2024 Olympics was held at the Foundation Louis Vuitton in Paris on Thursday, celebrating and emphasizing the cultural impact of the Olympics on the French capital.
The pre-festivities were hosted by LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, Grammy-winning and Louis Vuitton men's creative director Pharrell Williams and Vogue magazine's Anna Wintour . Co-hosts of the "Prelude to the Olympics" event included actress Charlize Theron , sports star Serena Williams , Spanish singer Rosalía and French actor Omar Sy.

The "Prelude to the Olympics" was a night to remember with a surprise performance from Tyla.

Dobrev shared several photos from her recovery process, including a picture of herself wearing a leg brace. Other photos showed Dobrev holding a large floral arrangement and eating some waffles.
"In case you've been wondering what I’ve been up to,” Dobrev wrote. "Eat. Sleep. CPM machine. Physical therapy. Repeat. If you’ve had this injury, you know what a CPM is…the rest of you won’t."
