Delfina Delettrez face ring in silver Gold 'n' grills: Ryan Lochte dazzled the world with his star-spangled teeth.

Tsumori Chisato MOUNTAIN BOOTIES in glitter Racking up another gold for synchronized swimming, Team Mexico got wet 'n' wild with wolf-print swimsuits. Emma Cook SWIMMING COSTUME in leopard Any team that could stand out in that opening ceremony deserves a medal. Mexico stepped it up with bright woven ponchos.

Splashin' in Fashion: An OC Tribute to 2012 Olympic Style
Sunday marks the closing of the 2012 Summer Games. By now, the major events have all been won and lost, but the question left hanging in the air: who takes the fashion gold? Let's take a minute to look back at some of the unsung sporting stars of 2012: Aliya Mustafina's hair glitter, the Czech Republic's wellies, the Russian synchronized swim team's Michael Jackson-print swimsuits, Sanya Richards-Ross' nails, and, of course, Ryan Lochte's grill. While they may not have scored medals, they're winners in our eyes. So here is a very OC tribute to our favorite pieces—but the competition isn't over until the Spice Girls have sung.

Absolutely in love with this post! I usually skip the Olympics for any fashion inspiration, but your examples show me otherwise! :)
