Ariana Grande traded stage lights for stadium seats on Sunday as she joined a fleet of stars to watch the Artistic Gymnastics Women's Qualification on day two of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games

The Yes, and? singer looked divine in a crisp crepe dress that struck gold in the style stakes. Her silhouette-skimming white gown featured a boat neckline, a sleeveless bodice and retro waist belt which highlighted her feminine frame. 

Ari, 31, swept her honey-blonde hair into a high, 60s-style ponytail, accentuating her kooky, oversized white-rimmed sunglasses which added a playful finish to her sophistiacted ensemble.

The Grammy-award winning singer stayed true to her signature makeup look of a fresh, glowy base, while fluttering lashes and a natural pink glossy lip. 

Fans were quick to react to Ariana's unexpected appearance at the Olympic Games, taking to X to pen their thoughts on her effortless glamour.

Simone Biles is set to make history at the Paris Olympics Games

Paris 2024 marks Simone's first Olympics after she was forced to exit the Tokyo Olympics early because she had the 'twisties'. While in the trials for the competition in 2021, she fell off the beam, flew out of bounds twice on the floor, and failed to stick her landing on the vault. 

She attributed this to a temporary loss of air awareness while performing twisting elements - hence the name 'twisties'.

Other athletes have called this phenomenon the 'yips' - where experienced athletes are suddenly unable to execute certain skills with no explanation. Simone partially explained that her 'twisties' were due to her own mental health suffering at the time, which led to her bowing out early.
