Lady Gaga, the Olympics, and French cabaret. Our hearts are full, let the Games begin!

Paying tribute to the Parisian dancers of the 19th century, the singer performed a rendition of Zizi Jeanmaire’s “Mon Truc En Plumes.”

She wore a black Dior couture feather jacket over a black satin bustier and panties with a black and pink skirt embroidered with feathers and sequins. A Dior headpiece completed the look.

Following the performance, Gaga wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) that she was “completely grateful” to have been asked to perform at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

She also shared more details about her outfit.

“Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection with French people and singing French music—I wanted nothing more than to create a performance that would warm the heart of France, celebrate French art and music, and on such a momentous occasion remind everyone of one of the most magical cities on earth—Paris.

We rented pom poms from Le Lido archive—a real French cabaret theater. We collaborated with Dior to create custom costumes, using naturally molted feathers.

I studied French choreography that put a modern twist on a French classic,” Gaga said.
