I Do Not Fear The Flame Shirts . From the roof of a specially renovated Grand Palais in Paris, opera singer Axelle Saint-Cirel starred in one of the most emotional episodes of the opening ceremony of these Olympic Games, singing “La Marseillaise”, the national anthem of France. A performance that she carried out wearing the same national colors of the host country of these Paris 2024 Games, in an original dress designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the creative director of Dior’s women’s collections. A design composed of a white silk tulle bustier seen under a one-shoulder tunic dress, in white and with a train in “France red”, thus completing a singular trompe l’oeil, by virtue of which during the performance the French flag seemed to end up merging into the dress, and this, in turn, with its train, ended up becoming the flag. A performance in which Saint-Cirel was accompanied by a choir of women seated on the Pont Alexandre III over the River Seine, who also wore tunic-style dresses, although with much more sober lines, and in this case in an entirely monochrome finish, in the white, red, and blue colors that shape the national flag of France.Conceived as a performance to pay tribute to the entire French-speaking community that exists in all corners of the planet, the French singer-songwriter of Malian origin, Aya Nakamura performed her greatest hits during what was discovered as another of the main acts of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The performance took place on the Pont de Arts, which links the Louvre Museum to the Institut de France, and which Nakamura performed wearing a unique, daring, and fierce ensemble, the result of a reinterpretation of one of the silhouettes from Dior’s Haute Couture collection for the Fall/Winter 2024/2025 season. A golden body covered in feathers, which the French performer wore in a renewed version with a short, voluminous skirt and an asymmetrical neckline with straps and a tulle cape on one shoulder, while the dancers who accompanied her did so wearing a different reinterpretation of the same original model, consisting in this case of cargo pants with a feather body.

I Do Not Fear The Flame Shirts . And closing this list, we go back to the very moment of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which was opened by the American Lady Gaga, performing from the Place Barye, at the eastern end of the island of Saint Louis, the song “Mon Truc en Plumes” by the iconic French artist Zizi Jeanmaire. A number created by the choreographer Roland Petir in 1961, for whom Christian Dior had already designed various ballet outfits, just as Maria Grazia Chiuri has now been commissioned to do for Lady Gaga. Who dazzled in this way during the opening ceremony of these Olympic Games with a sensational black satin bustier outfit with matching stockings, made by the house of Cadolle, with a short jacket and long skirt, in an always “chic” combination of pink and black, both pieces covered by hand with feathers. Feathers that, Dior points out, were collected during the birds’ natural moulting periods, and therefore without causing any harm to any kind of animal, for an outfit that Lady Gaga wore finished off with a matching headdress designed by Stephen Jones, and which the American artist gradually removed as the musical number progressed, ending with the set of a bustier and panties with the “Cul de Paris” characteristic of cabaret revues. All of this, surrounded by twenty musicians and a dozen dancers who wore Dior outfits inspired by the white ensemble with Parisian lines that Audrey Hepburn wore in the cult film Sabrina, carrying pink pompoms made by the legendary Lido de Paris cabaret.
