Take a look at these epic Olympic opening ceremony outfits

Ireland’s opening ceremony outfits were created by by New York-based Irish designer Laura Weber, through her brand LW Pearl.

The outfits were made to blend traditional styles with modern ones, to mark Ireland’s 100th anniversary of taking part in the Olympic Games.

The outfits are made from a special type of fabric called ECO-Hybrid taffeta which is created using recycled T-shirts and plastic bottles.

Each athlete’s jacket sleeve has a unique embroidered patch, which features a design of the athlete made from beads, sequins and stones.

The jackets also have a special shamrock brooch, which is made up of four embroidered four-leaf clovers, which are believed to help bring good luck.
