The games are over and done with. No more gawking at the male divers in their micro speedo’s or watching the fantastic gymnasts twirl through the air in their sparkly outfits.. But just as with the opening ceremony, the closing show was definitely worth watching. Here’s a look at some of the highlights that got the queer seal of approval.

British models Lily Cole, Stella Tennant, Karen Elson, Kate Moss, Lily Donaldson, Naomi Campbell, Georgia May Jagger, Jourdan Dunn & David Gandy graced the stage in some stunning ensembles from Alexander McQueen, Victoria Beckham, Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood’s Gold Label, Erdem, Jonathan Saunders, Burberry and Christopher Kane.
