The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are set to be a fashion extravaganza, with the French delegation’s opening ceremony outfits stealing the spotlight. With LVMH as a lead sponsor, the pressure was on to create a look that embodies French style and sophistication.
Berluti, a surprising choice by LVMH, was tasked with designing the outfits in collaboration with fashion icon Carine Roitfeld. The result? A modern twist on the classic tuxedo, in blue to match the French flag, with glossy dégradé lapels representing the French tricolor.
The outfits also include a silk scarf, tailored white shirt, logo belt, and stylish footwear options. The athletes will have the flexibility to adjust the length of their outfits, adding a touch of individuality to the ensemble.
While the outfits may seem more suited for a night out on the town than a sporting event, they are sure to make a statement on the Olympic stage. With nods to French elegance and sophistication, the French delegation’s outfits are set to be a standout at the opening ceremony.
Even Carine Roitfeld herself is a fan of the design, expressing her willingness to wear the skirt herself, albeit with a tighter fit. As the countdown to the Games begins, all eyes will be on the French delegation as they march down the Seine in style.
