Mongolia’s national uniform took the internet by storm at the very start of the Olympics. The design was by an Ulaanbaatar-based label of Michel&Amazonka. The design calls to express the Mongolian tradition in a contemporary way. The intricate designs are in the national colors of blue, white, and red.
Lady Gaga opened up the Olympics ceremony with her stage performance. She wore a custom Dior pink and black feathered gown along with a black feather jacket. Celine Dion also wore a sparkly white gown with fringes and silver pearls for her comeback performance at the opening ceremony on the Eiffel Tower. The outfits are currently being displayed at the Dior exhibition in Paris.

She wore an all-black outfit with cyborg frame glasses and an elephant keychain from her 5-year-old daughter.
