Breaking News: Lady Gaga cheered on Simone Biles, Serena Williams watched Novak Djokovic vs Rafa Nadal – and Snoop Dogg as the Olympic ‘ambassador for happiness’! All the celebrities watching the Games in Paris

The first week of the Games has proved one of the hottest tickets in the world

.A slew of celebrities have taken in events such as fencing, swimming and tennis.

.While some are present officially, other VVIPs are simply enjoying the show

Just over a week into an exhilarating Olympic Games in Paris, and it’s no surprise that hundreds of thousands of fans are packing out the stands at the legions of events taking place across the French capital.

But some spectators are pulling as much of the focus watching the sports on display as the athletes themselves, with a number of famous faces taking advantage of their VVIP status to bag some of the hottest tickets in town.

While some celebrities are at the Games in an official capacity – such as NBC’s special correspondent Snoop Dogg – others are merely enjoying the opportunity to watch memorable moments, such as USA claiming Artistic Gymnastics all-around team gold, or Leon Marchand’s heroics in the pool.

But who were some of the biggest notables present during week one?

Here, Mail Sport runs through the big names in the crowd at this year’s Games.

Fresh from performing at the Opening Ceremony, Lady Gaga has been spotted at a number of events in Paris.

A three-time Olympic champion herself, Serena Williams has been cheering on Team USA

Snoop Dogg is a constant presence at the Games in his official capacity as a correspondent.

Hot on the heels of opening Paris’ Seine-side Opening Ceremony with a Francophonic performance of ‘Mon Truc en Plumes’, the American popstar switched her allegiance back to another red, white, and blue team, even donning Team USA Olympic kit as she took in a number of events.

The A Star is Born actress attended women’s Artistic Gymnastics all-around qualifying on Sunday, recording a bird’s eye view video of Simone Biles’ flawless beam routine, which she later posted to Instagram.

She nailed it, what an honour to be so close!!!! (crying emoji, US flag emoji)’, Gaga posted, which prompted Biles to reply with a volley of red-heart emojis.

Gaga also attended the swimming on Sunday at the La Defense Arena, cheering on a number of her compatriots including Nic Fink – who shared silver in the men’s 100m breaststroke with Team GB’s Adam Peaty.

Kendall Jenner

The Kardashian-Jenner scion is an avid sports fan, having previously taken in a number of Paris Saint-Germain matches on earlier trips to the French capital. Needless to say, the model was keen to bag seats for arguably one of the biggest events for Team USA fans – the women’s all-around Artistic Gymnastics individual final.

Jenner watched Simone Biles make history as not only the oldest woman to claim gold at the Games in her field, but the one to reclaim one at non-consecutive Olympics. She did so just metres from her ex-boyfriend, Team USA athlete Devin Booker, in the stands alongside his basketball team-mates including Steph Curry and Kevin Durant – as well as a sporting legend.

Fresh off his star turn in the Opening Ceremony, Zinedine Zidane was in the stands at the Bercy Arena, likely cheering on French-born Algerian gymnast Kaylia Nemour, who finished fifth.

After a cameo carrying the Olympic torch through the streets of Paris before the start of the Games, Snoop has since carved out a role for himself as a special correspondent for NBC Olympics – and, in the words of the US network, their ‘ambassador for happiness’ in the French capital.

The rapper previously worked for the broadcaster as the co-host of a highlights show during the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, but his enlarged role in Paris has seen him link up with a number of sporting icons, such as Billie Jean King and Michael Phelps, for special pre-recorded segments as well as roving commentary.

Snoop has taken in fencing, judo, skateboarding, and tennis, where he watched Spain’s superstar doubles pair Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, as well as bagging a spot to watch Team USA qualify for the women’s Artistic Gymnastics all-around team final.
