Uganda's small contingent scored highly in the fashion stakes of the Rio Olympics opening ceremony.

The 10-strong party, which included three athletes, two coaches, four officials and Jack Pemba, looked majestic in their outfits, which were a creative play on the country's black, yellow and red national colours.

The ladies wore an innovative gown combining modern and local fashion ideas while the gents rocked an eye-catching blood-red blazer on top of black shirts, black trousers and black shoes. Despite its tiny size, Uganda's contingent was hard to miss.
