In case you missed it, the closing ceremony for the 2024 Olympic Games was last Sunday, and frankly, we still haven’t quite come to terms with the fact that the Olympics are over. After all, an event like this only comes every four years. Though the closing ceremony time-traveled to LA 2028, previewing the next summer games, which let’s face it, will come faster than we know it, we can’t help but stay in Paris. We will miss the lazy summer mornings spent shuffling through sport channels, finding the best events and cheering on our favorite athletes.

Indeed, when you bring the Olympics to a city as iconic as Paris, known as the city of love and capital of fashion, you have high hopes. With high hopes, also comes greater margin for disappointment. Sure, Paris hit bumps in the road, especially in terms of organization, but when we look back, we are not disappointed. Despite its hiccups, Paris exceeded our expectations. Coined as the “Most Romantic” summer games, breaking the record for the most marriage proposals at the Olympics, we saw humans coming together in the most beautiful ways. In addition, labeled as arguably the “Most Fashionable” Olympics, we continue to bask in the glitz and glamor of Paris.
Let’s face it. We don’t want to move on quite yet, so let’s savor our favorite moments a little longer… Here is our podium for “Most Fashionable” moments at the 2024 Olympics Games in Paris:

The leotards. The routines. The podiums. The (stripped) medals. There is absolutely no denying that gymnastics captured attention and hearts worldwide at this year’s Olympics. Whether you define “fashionable” as the 10,000 crystals on Team USA leotards or greatness acknowledging greatness (the Rebecca, Simone, & Jordan podium, of course), Olympic gymnastics, without a doubt, deserves a spot on this list.

Supportive partners, exes that won gold, apology love poems, multiple proposals… Love was most definitely in the air at the Paris games. All we have to say: Siri, play “The Alchemy” by Taylor Swift.

We believe in the power of accessorizing and clearly, so do Olympic athletes! Just take a look at Sha’Carri Richardson’s patriotic nails or Nyara Sabally’s legendary grill.
