The haute couture dresses donned by music superstars as they performed at the 2024 Olympics’ opening ceremony are on display at fashion house Dior’s gallery in Paris.Conceptualized by Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, the outfits worn by Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and France’s Aya Nakamura have been on display in the maison’s space near the Champs Elysees since July 31.Gaga sported an outfit with a black satin bustier, a short jacket and feather skirt with a pink bottom as she opened the show on July 26, by singing Zizi Jeanmarie’s &quot;Mon Truc en Plumes,&quot; an homage to French cabaret.In a widely praised closing performance of Edith Piaf’s &quot;L’hymne a l’Amour,&quot; Dion wore a white silk georgette gown embellished with sequins magnified by hundreds of meters of fringes covered in silver pearls.On the other hand, French singer Aya Nakamura walked down the Pont des Arts bridge toward the Louvre museum, in an outfit combining a corset and shorts, and an asymmetrical dress entirely stitched with golden feathers – hand-embroidered on by one by artisans from the 144-year-old feather-working Lemarié house.&quot;These outfits were kept and made in the utmost secrecy in the Dior ateliers, and that&#x27;s why even we saw these outfits for the first time the night of Friday, July 26 (Olympics opening ceremony),&quot; Dior gallery head Olivier Flaviano said.The gallery was able to retrieve the outfits the day after the ceremony and spent three days to put them back into shape after the heavy rain that poured over the opening show.They also had to create mannequins that correspond perfectly to the body types of the singers in an effort to give the pieces a faithful representation of how they were worn.Flaviano said displaying the dresses at the gallery is a way of sharing French excellence to the public and tourists visiting the French capital for the Games, which close Sunday (August 11).&quot;I think what&#x27;s most touching is being able to share this story with the public,&quot; he said.The outfits will be on display at the Dior gallery until Sept. 30.<div>(Production: Ardee Napolitano)</div>
