The event is the first in Olympics history to be officially co-hosted by two cities; Milan will primarily host the ice events, and the remaining events will be hosted in clusters around Cortina and the Valtellina and Fiemme valleys, with the traditional athletes' parade for the opening ceremony spread across four locations: Milan, Cortina, Predazzo and Livigno.

Ahead of the opening ceremony, which airs at 2 pm ET, stars from across the globe are showing up in style to one of the fashion capitals of the world. Take a look below to see which athletes, actors, musicians, and more arrived in Italy to celebrate the Olympic Games.

This is the first Olympic Games since 2006 that Shaun White, 39, has not competed in. The three-time gold medalist officially retired after the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing. But that doesn't mean he can't show up to support the athletes.

Aside from attending the opening ceremonies, Shaun will be an expert commentator for NBC Sports. "I am excited to take it all in," he told Olympics.com. "[To] see the different events, like ice skating, skiing, half pipe, big air, obviously snowboarding. I'm just going try to see everything honestly, that's my goal."
