The Paris Olympics have transformed into a star-studded affair, with A-list celebrities filling the stands to witness the athletic prowess on display. Leading the charge was Simone Biles, whose return to the Olympic stage after a hiatus drew massive support from Hollywood's elite. Tom Cruise, Ariana Grande, Baz Luhrmann, Cynthia Erivo, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour were among the many who gathered at Bercy Arena to witness her comeback.

The excitement extended beyond gymnastics, with celebrities showing up for various sporting events. Tom Cruise expressed his awe at the athletes' accomplishments, while Jessica Chastain attended the women's qualifications with her daughter. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, accompanied by their children, checked the Olympics off their bucket list.

Musicians also joined the festivities, with Lady Gaga sporting Team USA colors at the swimming events and cheering on Nic Fink's silver medal win. Rapper Flavor Flav, an unlikely supporter of the US women's water polo team, joined First Lady Jill Biden in celebrating their victory. Snoop Dogg, who participated in the Olympic torch relay and served as a special correspondent for NBC, was spotted enjoying the gymnastics events.

The celebrity presence extended beyond American athletes, with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban cheering on Australia's Chloe Covell in the skateboarding finals. With numerous events still to unfold, including Simone Biles' finals, the Paris Olympics promise more star-studded moments in the days to come.
