As a seasoned observer of global events, having attended numerous high-profile gatherings and red carpet events, I must say that the Celebration of Olympic Basketball event was a truly captivating spectacle. The glamour, the stars, the athleticism – it all came together in a dazzling display of sportsmanship and camaraderie.


On Monday at the Paris, France celebration for Olympic Basketball, Gabrielle Union and her partner Dwyane Wade presented a chic pairing.

51-year-old actress from Bring It On, who played the lead role, left spectators amazed in a sleek black dress adorned with floral detail, paired elegantly with a $2,750 Prada Arqué handbag.

In my latest outfit, I effortlessly added a touch of sophistication with some open-toed strappy heels. As for my hair, it flowed gracefully around me in soft, wavy curls, reminiscent of a raven’s feathers.

While the 42-year-old former basketball legend, spotted entering his hotel the day before alongside Gabrielle, exuded elegance in a stylish gray suit and matching white sneakers.

The significant Olympic sport showcase took place at Team USA House, Palais Brongniart, where it was presented jointly by NBC Universal and the NBA.

The couple coordinated their looks with delicate necklaces. 

The pair got married in 2014.

They have one child together, a daughter named Kaavia James Union Wade, five, born in 2018. 

Apart from Dwyane, there are three more children in the family: Zaire Wade (age 22), Zaya Wade (age 17), who are from his previous relationship with Siovaughn Funches, and Xavier Wade (age 10) whom he shares with Aja Metoyer.

On Monday’s event, Taraji P. Henson, aged 53, was present too, turning heads in a stunning black blazer that sparkled and remained open. She paired it with equally glossy black shorts.

The actress put on a very busty display, sporting a black bra that highlighted her ample cleavage.

She completed the outfit with black high-heel boots and a matching chic purse.

On the red carpet, NBC’s Today show co-hosts Savannah Guthrie (age 52) and Hoda Kotb (age 59) beamed with radiant grins while they stood side by side.

In a striking yellow rose patterned summer gown from Gucci, paired with expensive black platform sandals costing around $1,100, Savannah made quite an impression.

Meanwhile Hoda looked chic as ever in a navy button-up top and elegant black slacks. 

Additionally, the women were photographed alongside Willie Geist (host of Sunday TODAY), Craig Melvin (anchor for The Today Show news), and the much-loved weather presenter Al Roker.

Savannah was also joined by husband Michael Feldman, 55, and their two children. 

Roker’s wife, Deborah Roberts (age 63), added elegance to their pairing in a denim gown adorned with feathers that captivated the crowd.

Tom Brady, 47, was seen enjoying the event inside, in the company of Lakers star Anthony Davis, 31.

On his retirement, the former quarterback opted for a relaxed look, wearing a navy shirt and white trousers. Accentuating this outfit was a stylish silver timepiece on his wrist.

Meanwhile Davis wore a striped Prada t-shirt and gray pants.

Also in attendance were Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum and Derrick White.

Snoop Dogg, 52, entertained the crowd with a performance at the event.

He was joined onstage by the USA women’s basketball team.

The rapper is at the Olympics as a special correspondent for NBC.

The Olympic Basketball Festival pays tribute to the game and its players, emphasizing the significance of basketball within the Olympic context.

As a lifelong gymnastics enthusiast who has spent countless hours training and competing, I can confidently say that attending the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Floor Exercise Final at Bercy Arena during day ten of the Olympic Games was an unforgettable experience. The energy in the arena was electric, and every move made by these incredible athletes left me in awe. The skill, precision, and power displayed on that floor were truly inspiring, reminding me of the passion and dedication required to reach such heights. This event served as a powerful reminder of why I fell in love with gymnastics years ago and reaffirmed my admiration for these extraordinary women.

She was joined by Taraji and Tarana Burke, 50, the founder of the #MeToo movement.
