The Beijing Games Opening ceremony… Was it hot or a flop?

No I’m not talking about the extravaganza. I’m talking about the uniforms worn by the athletes. Some were definitely hot while others definitely flopped. Here’s just a few!

USA, definitely hot. Well what do you expect when you have Ralph Lauren designing your uniform.  Photo: Phil Walter/Getty Images Asia Pacific. www.zimbio.com

Britain hot. Love the preppy look, footwear looks comfy yet cool and the handbag is cute. Photo: Paul Gilham/Getty Images Asia Pacific. www.zimbio.com

France was burning hot. Doing what the French do so well, fashion. Love the Asian influence being included with the sash. The accent colour red is perfect and of course the beret. Photo: Paul Gilham/Getty Images Asia Pacific. www.zimbio.com

China, definitely a flop. Sorry I know you’re the host country,  but the little boy (earthquake survivor) is cute!  Photo: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images Asia Pacific. www.zimbio.com

Australia was most definitely a flop. Do people still wear outifts that look like that by choice?  Photo: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images Asia Pacific. www.zimbio.com

Let me know what you think was hot or a flop.
