Pharrell Williams and his wife Helen Lasichanh watched with a straight face as they played the men’s singles semifinal on the seventh day of the Olympic Games in Paris on Friday.
The 51-year-old American singer, who has been married to 44-year-old Helen since 2013, wore gold Grillz and orange sunglasses as he watched Carlos Alcaraz and Felix Auger-Aliassime battle it out for a spot in the final.
The Happy hitmaker looked smart and casual in a white Louis Vuitton polo shirt with a structured collar and a gold-tone branded brooch on the chest.
To complete his look, he wore a beige Kenzo Paris baseball cap as he watched the game intently.
Meanwhile, his wife Helen, who is a fashion designer, looked casual in a light pink T-shirt and matching baseball cap.
Pharrell Williams and his wife Helen Lasichanh appeared to watch the men’s singles semifinal on the seventh day of the Olympic Games in Paris with a straight face on Friday.
The American singer, 51, who has been married to Helen, 44, since 2013, wore gold Grillz and orange sunglasses as he watched Carlos Alcaraz and Felix Auger-Aliassime battle it out for a spot in the final.
She completed her courtside look with a large pendant necklace and opted for baby blue cat-eye sunglasses.
Spanish tennis star Carlos, 21, reached the final of the Olympic men’s singles with a convincing 6-1, 6-1 victory over 23-year-old Felix.
Carlos won the title at Court Philippe-Chatrier in early June and won his second consecutive title a few weeks ago.
He could face Novak Djokovic in the final on Sunday, after beating the Serbian veteran at the All-England Club a few weeks ago.
Pharrell and Helen first made an appearance after he was confronted by animal rights activists at his Olympic party in Paris last month.
The rapper hosted a Louis Vuitton event at the brand’s French headquarters the night before the start of the Olympic Games.
The party was disrupted by protesters from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) who waved signs asking him to stop using animals “for fashion.”
After Pharrell spoke to the crowd from a balcony, he descended the stairs to find two protesters holding signs that read, “Pharrell: Stop Killing Animals for Fashion.”

Spanish tennis superstar Carlos, 21, (shown here) cruised to the Olympic men’s singles final with a decisive 6-1, 6-1 victory over 23-year-old Felix.
Pharrell did not respond to the protesters and simply walked past them before being led away by security guards.
Pharrell was named Louis Vuitton’s new creative director last year and has since incurred the ire of PETA after designing a custom-made crocodile-skin bag worth $1 million.
Pharrell and Helen secretly married on a private yacht in Miami in 2013 and have one child together, Rocket Ayer Williams, 15.
In 2014, Pharrell revealed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that he had had a crush on Helen for years. He explained that the two were friends at first because she was already in a relationship.
“She didn’t answer half my texts (in the beginning),” the musician explained. “Selfishly, no (that didn’t intrigue me)”

“I thought, ‘Oh yeah?’ Because I had so much money and so much influence, I thought I was entitled to it. I had learned that she had a boyfriend and she wasn’t interested.”
The star had to make do with being just friends for two years before Helen became single again, but their relationship didn’t exactly run smoothly in the beginning.
“I hurt her really badly in the beginning, when she was free and available. I gave her all that attention, but I wasn’t ready to let go of (his single life) yet,” he said.
“I looked at my life and thought, ‘Man, I can do this for another 10 years, is this what I want to do?’ And so I made a decision. And then we made a decision and just started dating.”
