There's nothing like watching the summer Olympics! The 2024 Paris Olympics kicked off on July 26 with a memorable opening ceremony. Soon, the greatest athletes from around the globe will gather to determine who reigns supreme in their respective sports. With stars like LeBron James and Simone Biles, there’s no shortage of talent to cheer for when it comes to securing gold. Biles, for instance, expressed her excitement to the "Today" show, stating, "I think we're going to get the job done. I feel really confident." But beyond the athletes, the Olympics also serve as a grand stage for celebrities to partake in the festivities.

Snoop Dogg went for gold but missed the mark
Snoop Dogg went for gold with his pre-Olympic outfit, but we would give it more of a bronze medal — and that’s being generous. Dressed in a standout gold suit, he paired it with a black t-shirt and black shoes. While many celebrities opted for high-end fashion brands, Snoop chose to wear a suit made just for him. He told the New York Times, "I'm wearing Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg limited edition. It's one of a kind." Perhaps he should have considered a more traditional fashion brand, as his unique outfit didn’t quite hit the mark.
Charlize Theron's shoulder train distraction
Charlize Theron co-hosted the Prelude to the Olympics event but instead of exuding glamorous vibes, her outfit gave off more of a rejected homecoming dress look. She attended the event in a one-shoulder white mini dress, but the shoulder train was a significant distraction. It was hard not to wonder how dirty it became by the end of the night, dragging on the floor and likely being stepped on.
