The Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony on August 11th was a spectacle of artistry and spectacle, and no one embodied this better than singer Yseult. As she delivered a powerful rendition of Frank Sinatra’s iconic “My Way,” she commanded the stage in a stunning custom Dior couture dress. This breathtaking creation was a contemporary reinterpretation of the brand’s iconic “New Look” silhouette, featuring a striking jacket paired with a flowing satin gown. To elevate the ensemble, renowned hat designer Stephen Jones crafted a captivating hat, drawing inspiration from Christian Dior’s archives. The all-black aesthetic created a powerful contrast, adding drama to Yseult’s already electrifying performance.
The choice of song, “My Way,” was a clever homage to the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles. This iconic tune, originally a French song titled “Comme d’habitude” by Claude François, underscored the enduring connection between France and the United States. The performance captured the attention of the global audience, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who witnessed it.
