The 2024 summer Olympics kick off at the end of next month, so there was an inbuilt storyline of athletics and athleticism in the tribute.
Courtesy of Vogue London , the stats are daunting: The outdoor-runway “walk” required nearly 700 looks, the orchestra was 42-strong, and among the 130-plus models and the hundred-odd dancers were models Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, who entered riding a couple of well-schooled ponies liveried out in Hermes scarves draped from their saddles. The flowing silk accessories gave an understated bit of medieval flash to the horses’ otherwise restrained walk, at least. .
