Who wore it best? Ranking the opening ceremonies outfits
-- One of the most heated debates of any Olympics? Which countries wore the best outfits during the Parade of Nations at the opening ceremony. Friday night, 207 delegations modeled their duds for millions around the world. Here's how they stacked up.
The oh-no-they-didn't list
Sweden
Satin? Seriously? These ensembles gave us "Xanadu" flashbacks and an urge to put on some roller skates.
Croatia
We know this is an homage to tradition, but we have two words: Italian tablecloths.
Australia
Oy, oy and oy. It's a rare feat when you can pull off any kind of stripes. This was not one of those moments.
France
This might not exactly be fair -- the French team always set a high bar. But when the team walked into Olympic Stadium, someone blurted out, "It looks like they are wearing some kind of Ziploc bag.
Norway
The Norwegians took their Sochi pants and made jackets out of them!
The A-listers
Argentina
As Argentina's Luis Scola shows, sometimes simplicity in an outfit is the best bet.
Portugal
Anyone else think of those '90s Gap ads? We did. But the look was casual and chic, like the vibe on Ipanema.
Cameroon
The personification of verve and dignity.
Costa Rica
This is an outfit you'd see on a runway. The hats put it over the top.
India
Flowing, understated, stunning.
Netherlands
Every combination worked here. The jackets, the suits, all of it.
