The UK's catwalk queens are going to be part of a fashion extravaganza at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics on August 12. Here's who you can expect to see!
Although the details of next month's Olympics closing ceremony are a closely-guarded secret, it's been made known that a host of big performers are going to make it an event to remember.
And on the fashion side of things, several British supermodels will be sashaying down the runway wearing the best of UK labels such as Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood and Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

If reports are to be believed, the 25-year-old Transformers actress and former Victoria's Secret Angel will be going back to her modelling roots by participating.
Another model-turned-actress, Lily, 24, will also be seen. The red-headed stunner landed her first British Vogue cover at the age of 16 and has worked with the biggest names in fashion like Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Prada.
But of course, one of the original '90s supermodels Kate, 38, will make her presence felt at the closing ceremony. Age is just a number to this waifish blonde, who's among the top-earning and best-known faces in the fashion industry globally.
Joining Kate will be her pal and fellow British supermodel Naomi, 42. The show would be incomplete without this dusky siren, who was once declared "the reigning megamodel of them all" by Interview Magazine -- and may well still claim the title.
Twenty four-year-old blue-eyed beauty Lily will be participating too -- she has had the rare honour of appearing on the cover of Vogue in three different countries at the same time and is the face of British brand Burberry.
The youngest daughter of yesteryears supermodel Jerry Hall and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, Georgia is only 20 and following in her mother's footsteps. Her gap-toothed appeal particularly sets her apart and she's well on her way to becoming a style star.
And finally, we have 41-year-old Stella, one of designer Karl Lagerfeld's muses and a mother of four -- the preternaturally preserved brunette will also be featuring in the fashion line-up.
