Appearing at a red carpet event at the Trocadero, ahead of the ceremony, Williams, 51, wore a Louis Vuitton jumper paired with black shorts and a beige cap.

Meanwhile Yes, And? singer Grande, 31, opted for a light pink dress adorned with a bow and white gloves.

Standing alongside her was her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the forthcoming musical movie, in which Grande stars as Glinda.

The London-born actress, 37, wore an emerald green strapless dress with a hat, gold jewellery and matching green nails.

American singer Lady Gaga sang in French during her performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

The 38-year-old hid behind a plume of pink feathers as she walked down a set of golden stairs next to the River Seine, close to Notre Dame cathedral.

The singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, appeared from behind the feathers and sang "good evening, welcome to Paris" before she engaged in a high-octane performance.

The Paparazzi singer, who performed alongside a group of dancers holding round pink, frilly props, wore a black bodice with a detachable black and pink ruffled skirt.

The 35-year-old opted to wear a black and red leather jacket, black handbag and white shorts.

Braving the rain on Friday afternoon was editor in chief of American Vogue Anna Wintour and film director Baz Luhrmann.

While Wintour wore a blue vertically striped dressed with balloon sleeves, the Elvis director sported a cream coloured ensemble with a cap.
