11 Standout Fashion Moments From the Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony

The Tokyo Summer Olympics may be about sports, but the opening ceremony produced several major fashion moments that made an impact on viewers.
The Summer Games officially started on Friday with more than 11,000 athletes from 206 countries coming together at the opening ceremony in Tokyo. The ceremony was unlike any in Olympics history, as the show was scaled back and virtually no spectators were permitted due to the pandemic.
Despite the changes, the opening ceremony produced several impressive moments, especially among the sartorial choices of the athletes and performers. Japanese singer Misia, for one, had a viral moment when she sang Japan’s national anthem dressed in a rainbow, cotton candy-like couture dress from designer Tomo Koizumi.
Many team uniforms also made an impact on viewers, both ones that resonated for their high-fashion quality and homage to various cultures and others that became fodder for memes.
Here, WWD looks at 11 of the standout fashion moments from the Tokyo Summer Olympics opening ceremony. Read on for more.

How to Buy KKW Beauty’s Bestsellers Before the Brand Closes

KKW Beauty fans still have a chance to grab the brand’s bestsellers before it temporarily shutters at the end of the month.
Kim Kardashian West revealed on July 7 that after roughly four years of running her KKW Beauty brand, she would be temporarily shutting down in order to rebrand with “new formulas that are more modern, innovative and packaged in an elevated and sustainable new look.”
While it was speculated that the rebrand was due to Kardashian West’s divorce from Kanye West, a source close to the brand and the founder confirmed the rebrand has “nothing to do with dropping the ‘W’ from KKW” and that West has even played a role in the rebrand.
With just over a week before KKW Beauty’s website is shut down on Aug. 1 at midnight, the brand is still offering many of its bestselling products at 20 to 75 percent off. Here, WWD breaks down how to buy KKW Beauty’s bestsellers before the end of the month.

Everything to Know About the ‘Sex and the City’ Reboot

“Sex and the City” fans are getting closer to seeing the much-anticipated reboot.
Since announcing the new series, titled “And Just Like That,” in January, the show has made several major cast announcements, bringing back three out of four of its leading actresses — Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes and Kristen Davis as Charlotte York — as well as tapping a list of new and diverse actors to bring a fresh spin to the reboot.
HBO Max revealed its first look at the “Sex and the City” reboot earlier this month as filming began in New York City, showing the three lead actresses dressed in looks that pay homage to their characters’ well-known style.
While the original series’ costume designer, Patricia Field, is not returning for the reboot due to scheduling conflicts, the new show is expected to deliver the same iconic fashion moments.
The original “Sex and the City” is based on the book by Candace Bushnell and aired on HBO from 1998 to 2004. The show was followed by two movies in 2008 and 2010.
