03/08/2021 - 10:45 PM

The teams present at the Tokyo summer Olympics have not only given us something to cheer for, but they have also reminded us of their talents in the fashion arena, too. During the Opening Ceremony [1], Japanese singer-songwriter Misia stunned in a voluminous rainbow gown by designer Tomo Koizumi [2] that just about took our breath away.

Influential designer Telfar designed Liberia's looks [3] and even created a line inspired by the Olympics for fans to buy. Ben Sherman dressed Team GB in comfy-yet-chic ensembles for the opening ceremony, and America's First Lady Jill Biden made an appearance re-wearing a polka-dot Brandon Maxwell number. Without further adieu, take a look at some of our favourite fashion moments from the Olympics ahead.

Team Germany's Full-Length Unitards

Team Italy's Giorgio Armani Outfits

Team Italy opted for these chic red, white, and green EA7 Emporio Armani uniforms for the Opening Ceremony. The best part is that fans can buy garments worn by the team on Armani's website as well.
