Eurovision Style Round Up

A week ago today we saw Malmö host the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, a chance for Eurofans to celebrate the musical highlight of the year. But of course, this is a beauty blog, so today we're going to have a bit of a round up of the weird and wonderful styles we saw this year...


Outfit



I fell in love with Raquel from El Sueño de Morfeo's beautiful yellow dress. It complimented her skin tone perfectly and gave her a sweet, bohemian feminine look. And a special mention must go to her hair, which is pretty much the hairstyle I wore all the way through high school.



On the other hand, we have Swedish comedienne and host of this year's contest, Petra Mede, whose dress from one of the two semi finals speaks for itself. I love Petra, but seriously, this is hideous. Toilet roll holder, anybody?


Nails


Of course this could only ever be one person - the ultimate Bridezilla from Finland, Krista. I'm unsure of the exact nail design she wore on the night, but I'm confident it was something like the above photo. You all know I love nail art, and I so wish I'd had time to try out some Marry Me themed nails before the contest. 


Effort



Well, we've all seen the wacky costumes of the past (Ukraine 2007, I'm looking at you) and this year saw its fair share of craziness, but there were a couple of people who made genuine effort. I kind of feel that Aliona from Moldova somehow managed to stand out with her crazy light show dress, yet at the same time not look tacky (until it turned into a fire-themed dress, that is). I'm not sure about the La Roux-esque hair, but somehow it all just works.


The 'oh dears'



Oh, Amandine, I know your song was supposed to be all arty and full of angst, but would it have been so hard to brush your hair? And as for the leather-look dress, well, I have no words.



And finally, we have Moje 3 from Serbia, who are evidently really into the pastel trend. Either that, or they got lost en route to perform at a little girl's birthday party. This is definitely a case of 'less is more', unless you want to look like a sweet shop worker pantomime character.

  1. Hi :)
    I personally loved Emmelie's dress and styling. I loved Raquel's dress as well, and I adored those of the backing singers from Bulgaria. Zlata Ognevich's dress was pretty as well I thought, and I loved her hair.
    My least favorite dresses were Alyona's (Belarus), Margaret Berger's (Norway) and Moran's (Israel). And I agree on Petra Mede's dress. She was a good host, but that dress, seriously? I didn't like any of the dresses she wore though.

    1. I liked Emmelie's styling too, but I didn't think it was anything too special. I also agree about Zlata's hair :)
