The best looks worn by athletes and other stars at LVMH's pre-Olympics event

• LVMH hosted a pre-Olympics party on Thursday called Prelude to The Olympics.
• Many athletes, stars, designers, and influencers attended.
• Photos show some of the best looks of the evening.

Before the 2024 Olympics officially kicked off in Paris on July 26, fashion conglomerate LVMH — alongside Anna Wintour, Pharrell, and Rosalía — hosted a party for all the A-listers in town.

The influence of LVMH, which owns brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi, Loewe , and Stella McCartney, will likely be felt across this year's Olympics. The French conglomerate, overseen by billionaire Bernard Arnault , is believed to have spent $160 million to sponsor the games, Business Insider previously reported. As a result, LVMH has had a hand in everything from uniforms to the design of the medals.

At its "Prelude to The Olympics" event on Thursday, mega-stars like Serena Williams , LeBron James, Zendaya, and Shaun White were on hand to kick off the festivities at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, an art museum owned by LVMH.
