And Celine Dion, beloved among the French, ended the night on a dramatic turn, performing Edith Piaf's "L'Hymne a l'Amour." Actors and music celebrities - from Michelle Yeoh to Lang Lang and John Legend - watched the festivities, along with world leaders and the general public. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who will co-star in a movie version of “Wicked,” walked on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony.
