Sydney 2000 Olympic Games - Closing Ceremony

Joyful, playful and celebratory, the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony brought the Games to a dazzling finale, filling the stadium with colour, music and theatrical spectacle. As part of the costume design team, Jennifer Irwin created large-scale costumes that captured Australia’s humour, spirit and creative exuberance. Her designs were engineered for stamina and movement, supporting complex choreography and large cast performances while delivering bold visual impact in a stadium setting. Together, these costumes helped transform the Closing Ceremony into a vibrant farewell, a final, unforgettable celebration of culture, athletes and the collective energy of the Games.
