From Lady Gaga to Tom Cruise: Celebrities Flock to See Simone Biles at the Paris Games

On Sunday, Biles wowed the audience with her performance in artistic gymnastics, attracting an impressive array of A-list celebrities. Among the notable faces in the crowd were Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Tom Cruise, Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, and Snoop Dogg.

Grande, who was seen alongside Cynthia Erivo—her co-star in the highly anticipated film adaptation of Wicked—exchanged pleasantries with Wintour, who was accompanied by acclaimed Australian director Baz Luhrmann. In the upper tiers of the stands, singer Nick Jonas mingled with fellow musicians John Legend and his wife, the multifaceted Chrissy Teigen. The presence of Academy Award-winning actress Jessica Chastain also added to the event’s star power at Bercy Arena.

Biles, who boasts a remarkable tally of four Olympic golds and 30 world championship medals, is a central figure in these Games, especially after overcoming a significant setback. Her journey has been marked by the infamous “twistys” at the Tokyo Olympics, a challenging mental block that led her to withdraw from several events. Her return to the Olympic stage was met with high anticipation, and she did not disappoint, delivering a performance that captivated both the audience and her celebrity spectators.
