Aya Nakamura Dazzles at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony
Aya Nakamura brought the glitz and glamour to the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony, performing a captivating mashup of her hit songs “Pookie” and “Djadja”. The event, which took place along the scenic river Seine, was a perfect start to the much-anticipated Olympic games.
Sporting a stunning gold Dior couture minidress, Nakamura’s outfit featured a unique one-shoulder design and a striking caged miniskirt, fitting perfectly with the festive atmosphere. Completing her look were matching Dior shoes, making her a standout at this grand event.
Nakamura wasn’t alone on stage; her dancers joined her, all dressed in elegant Dior attire, adding to the overall aesthetic of the performance. Known for her popular singles like “Djadja” and “Copines,” Nakamura has climbed to the top of the charts, becoming the most-listened-to French-speaking female artist on Spotify since 2018.
In February 2023, she was named an international beauty muse for Lancôme and later collaborated with Balenciaga and launched a line with Undiz. Her presence at the opening ceremony of the Olympics highlights not just her musical talent but also her influence in the fashion and beauty industries.
Earlier this year, Nakamura made a memorable appearance at the Met Gala, showcasing a floral Balmain dress paired with a glamorous Lancôme makeup look. This latest performance further cements her status as a leading figure in the international arts scene.
The opening ceremony, directed by Thomas Jolly, featured a parade of athletes from 206 national committees on nearly 100 boats, passing iconic Parisian landmarks like the Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. The event drew notable attendees, including the U.S. First Lady and actress Nina Dobrev.
The 2024 Paris Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, will run until August 11, marking a hundred years since Paris last hosted the Games in 1924.
