Chief among them was tennis legend Serena Williams.
Williams, 43, was joined by her daughter, Olympia.
Franchise owner David Beckham embraced Williams in a hug pitchside as he welcomed her to the stadium.
In videos shared to social media by both the MLS and Inter Miami Instagram accounts, which were reposted to Williams’ story, Beckham was then seen speaking to Olympia.
Olympia has followed in her mother’s footsteps by taking up a keen interest in sports.
She is often seen cheering her mum on at sporting events.
But Olympia is also active alongside her 23-time grand slam winning mum, and even has her own set of gym equipment in the family’s home gym.
She is said to be a lover of ballet, football and virtual reality gaming.
However, Olympia is yet to find that same love for tennis.
Williams admitted in an interview with PEOPLE magazine: “That’s a little disappointing for me, but she’s actually really good at it.
“So we are trying to figure out a way to get her to play a little bit.”
Olympia is already a co-owner in two sports teams as well, having shares to her name in both women’s football team Angel City FC and the Los Angeles Golf Club.
Other celebs in attendance included ex-Manchester United star Paul Pogba, who is currently serving a reduced 18-month doping ban – making him eligible to return to professional football in March.
Hands
Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word “Love” inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side.
This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid.
On his little finger, he has the year he was married.
Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper.
The devoted husband has “Posh” tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham’s Spice Girls nickname.
Arms
Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria.
The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit.
Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary.
The matching tatts translate to, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine”.
Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple’s tenth anniversary.
Neck
One of Beckham’s most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings.
It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings.
Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck.
This was later updated to include the words “Pretty Lady”, to mark her fourth birthday.
Back
Beckham’s back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons.
He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them.
Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz’s names inked across his back.
Body
Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.
The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols – this translates as “Death and life have determined appointments”.
Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast – which is identical to the same one his dad has.

REAL MADRID might have no choice but to sell superstar Vinicius Junior to Saudi Arabia.
Vinicius has been offered a lucrative five-year deal worth a staggering total of €1billion – which works out at £832million.
Vinicius, 24, has a contract with Real until 2027 and club president Florentino Perez can’t afford to let him go for nothing.
Madrid already benefitted from swooping Kylian Mbappe for no transfer fee from PSG.
With the Saudi’s not letting up on their pursuit of Vinicius, Madrid would surely receive a world-record fee.
In fact, Madrid’s share of the deal is believed to be around £237.5million, according to The Times.
That would be reasonable profit on a player bought for roughly £37million at the age of 18.
In that time, Vinícius has helped win two Champions League titles and three domestic titles among 13 trophies for Real in all.
Prising the Brazilian star away from them in his prime would be a huge statement of intent.
Vinicius could depart in the most incredible transfer in football history with in excess of €1billion being paid by Saudi Arabia.

No club has been named but there are four leading sides – Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli, and Al-Shabab.
The Saudi Pro League shares out imported talent as a way of keeping the league competitive.
As of now, Madrid do not want to sell.
Yet those close to the club suspect it will happen as they fear losing him for nothing in two years time, according to The Times.
And Vinicius would be open to becoming the first overnight billionaire footballer.
Despite starring for Madrid, the Bernabeu outfit have proved that their next superstar is never far away.
Summer signing Mbappe was the star of Wednesday night’s heroics as the Frenchman bagged a stunning hat-trick in Madrid’s 3-1 demolition of Manchester City in the Champions League.
Vinicius’ book of grievances include the abhorrent racism he has often faced in LaLiga and missing out on the Ballon d’Or to City midfielder Rodri in the summer.
He will still have the World Cup with Brazil as his global showcase.
Meanwhile, Saudi once lured players eyeing retirement savings, like N’Golo Kante and Roberto Firmino.
Manchester United had hopes of sending Casemiro there too in order to get his £350,00-a-week wages off the bill.
But the Middle Eastern nation’s recruitment plans have shifted towards young, current stars, with a promising football future.
Their big January recruit was the explosive Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, 21, who joined for £70million.
SHAMROCK Rovers eagerly anticipated clash against Cork City has been postponed.
The League of Ireland Premier Division match between Rovers and Cork was called-off less than an hour before the planned 6pm kick-off.
LOI brass announced the news in a statement on Sunday evening, just 30 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time.
It read: “This evening’s SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division fixture between Shamrock Rovers and Cork City has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch caused by the heavy downpour as kick off approached.
“The pitch had undergone two pitch inspections in the day leading up to the fixture.
“However a considerable downpour closer to kick-off left the pitch unplayable.
“A new date for the fixture will be announced in due course.”
Two pitch inspections were passed earlier in the day after heavy overnight rain and wind in Dublin.
While conditions remained stable throughout most of the afternoon, they worsened later in the day, prompting a third inspection at 5pm.
Following that assessment, officials decided to call off the game.
The Tallaght Stadium pitch had already hosted two matches earlier in the week.
