During the Opening Ceremony, Japanese singer-songwriter Misia stunned in a voluminous rainbow gown by designer Tomo Koizumi that just about took our breath away.
Influential designer Telfar designed Liberia’s looks and even created a line inspired by the Olympics for fans to buy. Ralph Lauren dressed Team USA in chic outfits for the seventh consecutive year in a row, and even First Lady Jill Biden made an appearance re-wearing a polka-dot Brandon Maxwell number.
