Ariana Grande Wows in ’60s-Chic White Dress as She Watches Summer Olympics With Brother Frankie
Ariana Grande has often expressed her love of sports, surprising many with her interests beyond music. Growing up in Boca Raton, Florida, she loved the Florida Panthers, even singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at one of the NHL team’s games in 2002 (she was 8). Grande has been spotted at many major sporting events, including the Panthers’ appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals. So it’s no surprise she’s attending the Summer Olympics in Paris.
Ariana Grande attends the Summer Olympics in Paris
Grande flew to Paris with her older half-brother, Frankie Grande, to witness the Olympics in person. Cameras spotted her at Bercy Arena, an indoor sports arena in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. The “The Boy Is Mine” singer chose a stunning white ensemble to watch Day 2 of the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Qualification.
Ariana’s ’60s-chic look
Ariana Grande channeled the ’60s in a Thom Browne boatneck dress and large round sunglasses. The gown’s belted waist and midi length complemented her petite figure. Ariana wore pearl and diamond studs. The “7 Rings” singer carried a summery wicker handbag by Loro Piana. She opted for no rings—a notable change since finalizing her divorce from Dalton Gomez on March 19, 2024.
Ari sat between Frankie and Cynthia Erivo, her Wicked co-star. The fantasy musical won’t premiere until November 22, 2024. But the pair have attended many media events together, drumming up press for the highly anticipated movie. Erivo also wore Thom Browne: a mint button-up, green striped tie, green sweater, and aviators.
Known for her high-energy performances, Ariana Grande‘s excitement for sports matches her dynamic stage presence. Ariana and Erivo laughed and cheered on the gymnasts, taking photos alongside Frankie and another celebrity guest, Lena Waithe. Waithe, known for her roles in Master of None and The Chi, wore a navy polo and black hat.
Several celebrity guests sat directly in front of Ariana and her crew. Anna Wintour wore a white dress with a pink and black floral pattern. She sat alongside Australian film director Baz Luhrmann, who enthusiastically greeted and hugged Ariana during the competition.
Ariana Grande channeled ‘Wicked’ at the opening ceremony
Ariana and Erivo also attended the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics last Friday. In true Wicked fashion, Erivo channeled Elphaba in a strapless green Louis Vuitton dress. Ariana chose another Thom Browne piece. The baby pink look honored her Wicked character, Glinda the Good Witch.
The opening ceremony was a star-studded affair, with guests like Cindy Crawford, Kaia Gerber, and Serena Williams. Held at the iconic Stade de France, the ceremony featured intricate choreography, athletes boating down the Seine River, and dazzling performances by Celine Dion and Lady Gaga, among others.
