There were 3,000 people on the plaza at the June 18 Obama Presidential Center grand opening ceremony, with almost too many celebrities to count.
A-listers in attendance included more than the performers like Marc Anthony and Stevie Wonder who brought the crowd to their feet during the program. Oprah Winfrey, who has a **** e named after her in the museum, was shaking hands with politicians like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau danced in the front row seats down from former Vice President Kamala Harris (though his partner Katy Perry was not in attendance).
John Legend and Jennifer Hudson spent time in the crowd when they weren't on stage, seated not far from California Gov. Gavin Newsom. But former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama stayed on stage with the other living presidents, except for President Donald Trump.
