On Friday night, the singer performed a version of Mon Truc En Plumes on a staircase along the River Seine and then took to social media to pay tribute to the country.
She wrote on X (formerly Twitter): ‘I feel completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris 2024 Olympic Games this year.
‘I am also honoured that the Olympic Organising Committee has asked me to sing such a special French song: a song to honour the French people and their tremendous history of art, music and theatre.
Among the crowd were numerous world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Sir Keir Starmer, the newly elected British Prime Minister.
The House of Gucci star also took to her social media post to reveal how she had studied French choreography for the performance and how much of it was inspired by the country’s theatre scene.
She added: “We rented pompoms from the archive of Le Lido, an authentic French cabaret theatre. We collaborated with Dior to create custom costumes, using naturally shed feathers.
‘I studied French choreography that gave a modern twist to a French classic. I rehearsed tirelessly to study a joyful French dance, reviewing some old techniques.’
‘I bet you didn’t know I used to dance at a 60s French party on the Lower East Side when I was first starting out. I hope you love this performance as much as I do.’
