The 2024 Paris Olympics is off to a pink-hued start. La vie en rose!

Starting off the opening ceremony festivities in the Parisian sunlight was American superstar Lady Gaga, belting out her rendition of "Mon Truc En Plumes" originally performed by French dancer and actress Zizi Jeanmaire.

As the parade of athletes traveled down nearly 4 miles of river, fans, dancers, and celebrities lined the banks, Gaga and a flurry of dancers holding hot pink feathered fans danced down a set of golden steps that read, "Enchanté!"

After the reveal of a grand piano — just like her "Jazz and Piano" days — tinkling away next to the waterfront, the singer took a moment behind her dancers to add a fan of white feathers to her back. Grand outfit changes are her thing, of course.

Gaga is also rumored to return to the banks of the Seine later on in the ceremony, reportedly to duet with famed singer Celine Dion in a headline-making comeback performance for the French Canadian icon.

Chase sits in front of a green framed window, wearing a cheetah print shirt and looking to her right. On the window's glass pane reads "Ricas's Tostadas" in red lettering.
