Belgium-based photographer Acielle – known for capturing all manner of hyper-visible fashion events, from the Met Gala to major shows – was on hand Thursday for the Prelude to the 2024 Olympic Games, a special cocktail at the Frank Gehry-designed Fondation Louis Vuitton, in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, ahead of Friday’s opening ceremony.
The event, co-hosted by Charlize Theron, Serena Williams, Rosalía, and Omar Sy, perfectly married the worlds of fashion and sport, with a guest list including Zendaya, LeBron James, Novak Djokovic, Naomi Osaka, Aly Raisman, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Emma Chamberlain, Emily Adams Bode and Natalia Vodianova.
Below, take a virtual tour through Acielle’s images – aka the next best thing to being there in person.
