    Olympic rings adorn the Eiffel Tower in advance of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

    The Olympic opening ceremony is a chance for the host nation to display its cultural prowess ahead of the biggest two weeks in sports.

    Likewise, individual delegations take the opportunity to show off their national swagger with culturally relevant outfits.

    With Paris being the capital of fashion, here are some of the most unique Olympic opening ceremony fits fans can expect to spot.

    Team Mongolia

    Designed by the Mongolian fashion company Michel & Amazonka , these historical yet futuristic outfits went viral when they were released.

    Meant to reflect the country's imperial past and project to a "space nomad" future, the clean tunics feature white and blue embroidery with Olympic symbology placed strategically throughout. Mongolia will be hard to miss in the parade of athletes.

    Team Australia

    Aussie, Aussie, Aussie — Ooh la la! Casual and chic is always the motivation behind the Australians' style, and this summer, they nailed it yet again.

    Each athlete will sport a green blazer with the national Olympic emblem on the breast pocket. Men will wear khaki shorts and women green, yellow and tan patterned skirts. Both will have white t-shirts and sneakers to finish off the look.

    The women's scarfs and men's pocket squares will also feature indigenous artwork .

    Team Haiti

    Just 15 total athletes will represent the island nation in Paris, but they'll be doing so in style.

    Haitian-Italian designer Stella Jean provided athletes with a culturally rich outfit, complete with artwork from Philippe Dodard on the pants and skirts.

    Team India

    The largest country in the world by population will be embracing its history while also marching into the future with its opening ceremony outfits, imagined by Indian designer Tarun Tahiliani.

    Indian news channel CNN News18 spoke to Tahiliani about the meaning of her design and showed more of the outfit's details, like how it reflects the country's tri-color flag of saffron, white and green.

    Team USA

    Ralph Lauren dropped yet another banger for America's 2024 opening ceremony outfits featuring denim pants and the classic navy blazer with red and white trim.

    The outfit embraces sustainability like the Paris Games are aiming for, using recycled polyester and "Oregon-grown Responsible Standard wool."

    Fans should be on the lookout for even more flashy fits at the opening ceremony on Friday.

    The Seine River will be the stage with the parade of athletes featuring national delegations floating downstream on boats.
