Billie Eilish delivered a standout performance at the 2024 Olympics closing ceremony.

Billie Eilish brought her unique grunge style to the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games on Sunday. Dressed in an oversized white Ralph Lauren polo, a navy baseball cap, oversized shorts, and large boots, the 22-year-old Grammy-winning singer performed some of her biggest hits at the event and won hearts.

Eilish performed her new song, "Birds of a Feather," from her latest album Hit Me Hard and Soft. Her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas also joined her on stage. He sported a Ralph Lauren Team USA blazer just like his sister. 

The performance was recorded during a Venice Beach party concert that also featured performances from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg.

Tom Cruise was also part of the closing ceremony. The actor performed several stunts before handing the torch to Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympic Games.

The 2024 Olympics began with an equally star-studded opening ceremony on July 26, featuring performances by Lady Gaga and Céline Dion.

While Gaga performed the iconic French song "Mon truc en plumes" on the banks of the Seine, Celine capped off the opening ceremony with a rousing performance of Edith Piaf's "L'Hymne à l'amour." The French-Canadian singer's emotional performance marked her return to the stage, nearly two years after getting diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome.
