The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are set to be a showcase of not just athletic prowess, but also high fashion, as the French delegation unveils their stunning opening ceremony outfits designed by Berluti in collaboration with Carine Roitfeld.
With France as the host country and LVMH as a lead sponsor, the pressure was on to create a look that embodies French style and sophistication. The result? A modern twist on the classic tuxedo, known as Le Smoking, in a sleek blue hue to match the French flag.
The outfit features shawl collar lapels with a dégradé version of the French tricolor, paying homage to both Berluti’s signature loafer treatment and the official French team uniforms. Paired with a matching silk scarf, tailored white shirt, and chic accessories, the ensemble exudes elegance and charm.
While some may find the look more suited for a night out on the town rather than a sporting event, the French delegation is sure to turn heads as they march down the Seine in style. With Carine Roitfeld herself expressing her admiration for the outfit and even considering wearing the skirt herself, it’s clear that these Olympic looks are a true celebration of French taste and fashion.
