Jill Biden celebrates with Snoop Dogg, Charlize Theron and Zendaya at Olympic party, just days after her husband dropped out of presidential race

Jill Biden drowned her sorrows with a glass of champagne and a night of partying with Serena Williams, Charlize Theron, Mick Jagger and Zendaya after her husband Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race.

The first lady, who leads the US delegation at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, attended the party with other stars on Thursday evening in preparation for the 2024 Olympic Games.

She was spotted in a white pantsuit as she chatted with guests at the event. Biden is on the cover of Vogue’s August issue.

Guests were surprised and delighted when they encountered the first lady, Vogue noted in its report and photos of the event.

The opening ceremony took place at the Foundation Louis Vuitton in Paris. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and Louis Vuitton men’s creative director Pharrell William welcomed guests ahead of the opening ceremony on Friday.

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte were also in attendance, along with LeBron James, Novak Djokovic, Ian Thorpe, Tyrese Haliburton, Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee, Soop Dogg, Tyla, Jeremy Allen White, Queen Latifah and Alan Cumming.

The party was organized by Vogue in collaboration with luxury goods company LVMH, the main sponsor of the Games.

Instead of a red carpet, guests walked a three-lane route to the event.

The gold, silver and bronze pieces that Louis Vuitton designed for the 2024 Olympic Games were on display.

Earlier on Thursday, the first lady met with American athletes to pump them up before the Games began.

However, her meeting with them also had a wistful edge, as she alluded to Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race.

The athletes applauded her and welcomed her warmly.

The first lady sat in the Oval Office on Wednesday night as President Biden explained to the nation why he was withdrawing from the 2024 election. She then boarded a plane to Paris to represent the United States.

She referred to her husband’s words when she spoke Thursday morning.

“When Team USA glides through the opening ceremony tomorrow night, they will be carrying more than just our flag. They will be carrying the heart of our nation and our hopes,” she told the athletes at the reception at the French ambassador’s residence.

“That’s what I love about our country: that we’re united and that together we can seize every opportunity. President Biden has led our country with that hope always in his heart. As he says — “

And here the guests burst into applause. Jill Biden expressed her gratitude.

“Thank you,” she said. “I’ll take that home with me. And as he says, there’s nothing America can’t do if we do it together. And we’re seeing that now, especially at the Olympics.”

Later, Jill Biden literally passed the baton when she met members of the U.S. track and field team at the practice track outside Paris.

The team recruited her to serve as the lead leg of a relay.
