Charlize Theron, Elizabeth Banks, Cindy Bruna and Serena Williams looked stunning as they attended the Prelude to the Olympics event at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris on Thursday.

She wore extra-high, strappy gold heels and completed her look with a matching clutch and jewelry.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth showed off her impressive figure in a plunging black mini dress with a large blue floral detail.
The 50-year-old actress completed her look with sheer tights and pointed heels, pairing it with dainty silver jewelry.

Snoop Dog flashed a gold suit as he posed for funny snaps ahead of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
The opening ceremony takes place on Friday, with more than 10,000 athletes gathering in boats on the River Seine.
Lady Gaga will reportedly perform La Vie en Rose with Celine Dion on the legendary River Seine.
Celine, who has yet to officially comment on the speculation, is said to be making her musical comeback amid her ongoing battle with Stiff Person Syndrome.
There were rumors that the singer would earn as much as $2 million for his performance at the opening ceremony on Friday.
However, a statement from the Olympic Games revealed that no artist performing during the ceremonies will be paid.
They said: ‘The artists performing at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games ceremonies will not receive any compensation for their services.
‘Their decision to perform under these circumstances reflects their desire to be part of a historic event for France and for the sporting world.

‘In addition, in Paris 2024, as usual, all costs for technical production and the organisation of the implementation will be covered.
‘In addition, we would like to emphasize that 96% of the organizing committee’s budget is financed by private revenues and that no government contributions are used to pay the artistic teams.’
There are still more than half a million tickets unsold for the Olympics, so anyone who wants to travel to Paris still has time to join the action.
Organizers have confirmed that between 500,000 and 600,000 tickets could still be sold on Sunday, five days before the start of the Games.
This also includes tickets for the coveted 100m final on August 4, but these cost a minimum of £240.
There are still a maximum of 4,000 places available for Friday’s opening ceremony on the Seine, but the only tickets still available are in the most expensive categories, which cost between £758 and £2,300.
Most of the unsold tickets are for football, but tickets were still available for most sports last night, including cycling, swimming, rowing and gymnastics.
Return Eurostar tickets from London St Pancras are available from £243 tomorrow. The rail companies will be offering additional services during the Games.

And while hotel prices have risen (some by as much as fourfold), there are still plenty of rooms available. This is the case at citizenM Paris Opera, just off Boulevard Haussmann, where suites start from £242 per night.
There’s also space at the four-star Les Jardins du Marais hotel near Place de la Republique, where you can book a Classic Room for £350 a night.
Flights from London Gatwick to Paris Orly start from £136, while a return from Birmingham to Paris Charles de Gaulle costs just £108, departing on Thursday.
The organizers confirmed at a press conference that there are still places available for more than 20 sports.
According to them, this was due to the late issuance of tickets and ‘contingency plans’.
So far, 8.8 million tickets have been sold in Paris, and yesterday the city was bustling with activity as fans flocked in from all over the world.
Tony Estanguet, chairman of Paris 2024 and a three-time Olympic canoeist, rejected any suggestion that ticket availability reflected a lack of interest.
At large stadium events, such as football, there are often empty seats.
During the 2012 edition in London, 264,000 tickets remained unsold, despite huge demand.
Ticket prices to Paris, adjusted for inflation, are cheaper than those to London in 2012.

Organizers have confirmed that between 500,000 and 600,000 tickets were still on sale on Sunday, five days before the start of the Games.
Paris is also currently doing significantly better than Rio 2016, when Brazilian organizers tried to sell 1.3 million tickets.
Due to Covid measures, there were no spectators at all during Tokyo 2020.
Mr Estanguet explained that due to an ‘unforeseen circumstance’ there were still many tickets on sale.
“Initially we had 10 million tickets in total, but we took 20 percent of the total as an emergency measure,” he said.
Over the past six months, “new ticketing options” have become available, he added.
“That’s why there are still tickets available a week in advance, because now we have the final planning of the delivery,” he said.
