Oscar winner Halle Berry, actor and director Owen Wilson, and "West Wing" alum Rob Lowe were also present. Singer Katy Perry, who performed during the opening ceremony, was seen enjoying the match alongside Justin Trudeau, the former Prime Minister of Canada, with whom she has recently made her relationship public.
