Olympic Opening Ceremony: 5 Best and 5 Worst Country Outfits

• Honorable Mention: Iceland

  Share

  Many of the countries went the athleisure route with their Opening Ceremony outfits, but Iceland's gear looked the most like PJs and win points for comfort.

• Honorable Mention: El Salvador

  Share

  El Salvador's outfits seem simple, but those patterned pants are a delight!

• Honorable Mention: Tonga

  Share

  Tonga only gets an honorable mention because for Pita Taufatofua, it's more about a lack of an outfit than anything.
• 5. Worst: USA

  Share

  Ugh...Ralph Lauren, AGAIN?! Why we want all of our athletes to look like they're about to head to a country club is beyond reasoning. Can we, for once, just not look snooty at the Olympics, please?

• 5. Best: Latvia

  Share

  Latvia took a risk dressing their women athletes in a metallic silver dress, but it paid off as they stood out in a great way.

• 4. Worst: Great Britain

  Share

  If you're Great Britain and your outfit isn't Union Jacked-out like you're a member of Def Leppard or the Spice Girls, you've failed. Plus, these outfits are just boring.
• 4. Best: Aruba

  Share

  White pants were super popular during the Opening Ceremony, but Aruba wore them best with their male athletes pairing them with a gradient colored blazer. The women wore a beautiful dress in the same gradient color scheme, and all of the athletes wore stylish fedoras.

• 3. Worst: Belgium

  Share

  I'm all for a bold print, but this is just ugly.

• 3. Best: Kenya

  Share

  Unlike Belgium, Team Kenya's risk on a bold plaid print was a success, and they stood out among all of the other nations.
• 2. Worst: South Africa

  Share

  A hideous print top for the men, a hideous print romper for the women, and they all are wearing the same ugly brown shoes. Ew!

• 2. Best: Tuvalu

  Share

  Tuvalu, a tiny island nation in the South Pacific, sent only two athletes to the Tokyo Olympics: Matie Stanley and Karalo Hepoiteloto Maibuca. Both, however, looked outstanding wearing traditional Tuvaluan clothing as they carried their nation's flag.

• 1. Worst: Italy

  Share

  Giorgio Armani designed this Pac-Man monstrosity. It's all kinds of wrong that makes us ask, "WHY?!"
• 1. Best: Cook Islands

  Share

  Flag bearers Kirsten Andrea Fisher-Marsters and Wesley Tikiariki Roberts of Team Cook Islands simply look chic AF. They're making their entrance into the Opening Ceremony look more like a strut on the catwalk.

• 1. Best: Cook Islands

  Seriously...just look at them! GORGEOUS!
