Team USA made their grand entrance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics on Friday. Led by flag bearers Coco Gauff and LeBron James, the U.S. delegation celebrated the start of the game in Ralph Lauren outfits.
Ralph Lauren created uniforms for both the Olympic and Paralympic athletes, repeating a longtime partnership with Team USA that started in 2008. The athletes wore a classic Ralph Lauren navy wool blazer with red and white accents, a striped oxford shirt, a navy knit tie, tapered light denim jeans and suede shoes. Gauff and James donned a different version of the outfit featuring off-white blazers.
