Team Mongolia's 2024 Paris Olympics uniforms
The video unveiling the Michel&Amazonka uniforms for Team Mongolia shows the models dressed in outfits featuring traditional Mongolian motifs. Michel&Amazonka are one of Mongolia's most progressive fashion brands run by two sisters.
One of the female models wore Team Mongolia female flag bearer's uniform featuring a robe dress (known as deels, which are still worn by Mongolians) and paired it with an embroidered vest, a handbag quite similar to India's potli bags, heels, and earrings. The other female model wore a similar embroidered vest, a pleated skirt, blouse, handbag, and earrings. It is the female athletes' uniform.
Meanwhile, the male flag bearer's uniform features a thin cotton Mongolian robe adorned with embroidery, considered auspicious in Mongolia. An embroidered vest, traditional Mongolian boots, and an embellished belt completed the look. Meanwhile, the male athlete's uniform features pants, a Mandarin collar shirt, an embroidered vest, and sneakers.

Several fashion influencer pages shared videos discussing Team Mongolia's Olympic uniforms.

A netizen wrote, "It's a reimagined version of our traditional attire, which I think best represents Mongolians." A user said, "I literally gasped out loud when you said these are their Olympic uniforms," and we relate.
