The guest list included athletes, designers, artists and performers who entered the bash on a track-themed red carpet.
Film director Steven Spielberg ramped up the Tinseltown feel, alongside filmmakers Spike Lee, Baz Luhrmann and Taika Waititi.
Singer Celine Dion made a rare appearance.
Tennis champ Serena Williams was one of the event’s co-hosts, alongside actress Charlize Theron, singer Rosalia, and French actor Omar Sy.
The event was staged at the Fondation Louis Vuitton on Thursday night.
Other guests included actor Zac Efron and Australian Olympic gold medal swimming champ Ian Thorpe.
Attendees were served food cooked by a Michelin-starred chef, while cocktails were provided by Moet Hennessy.
The do was intended to bring together a diverse array of celebrities, fashion designers and top flight athletes.
Pharrell Williams curated a select group of world-renowned artists including KAWS, Daniel Arsham and Derek Fordjour to put together interactive art installations for the event.
Some of the sports represented on the night included archery, tennis, basketball and equestrianism, along with carnival games.
The star said he wanted the event to support Olympic hopefuls through donations — as well as 36 athletes across 11 different countries competing on the Refugee Olympic Team this year.
Last night, Ukraine’s President Zelensky, who was not in Paris, said his country will “stand with everyone who respects life, human values, the principles of Olympism, and fair rules”.
He said: “We are proud of our team — the men and women who, despite this aggressive war, have prepared for the Olympics.”
