Sam Smith and so much glitter: Just all the best photos from the Mardi Gras parade.

 

Sydney sparkled on Saturday night as Oxford Street lit up for the annual celebration of all things LGBTQI+.

About 300,000 revellers turned up – glitter and all – for the 42nd anniversary of the parade, which began in 1978 as a march and commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall Riots of New York.

From drag queens to Dua Lipa, police officers to bare bums, Sydney put on a spectacular, colourful and unforgettable show.

The official parade featured 200 floats, the majority advocating for equality of the LGBTQI+ community.

Oh. And Sam Smith and Dua Lipa headlined the performances, proving the event to be an internationally renowned affair.

Here are just some of the best photos from the 2020 Sydney Mardi Gras.
