16 Most Memorable Eurovision Looks

Eurovision might’ve started out as an international pop song contest, but through the years it evolved into so much more than that. These days we don’t just expect good catchy pop songs, we want to see a memorable show, insane graphics, and crazy costumes. We want it to be high-quality entertainment that will start a bunch of memes, something you can discuss and be like “Can you believe they did that?” We don’t care that much about how great or talented the singer is we just want to be entertained and have a good time. The more outrageous the performance – the better. So let’s take a look at some of the most memorable Eurovision looks we’ve seen.

1. Finland, 2006
Remember when Finland sent a Christian heavy metal band called Lordi to Eurovision and won? They were dressed as monsters and sang Hard Rock Hallelujah. Yeah, that was a glorious day in Eurovision history we’ll never forget.

2. Ukraine, 2007
When Verka Serduchka and her posse took the stage at Eurovision 2000 dressed in the campest silver outfits and with a massive star on her head we knew it was going to be a hit. It was bizarre yet awesome at the same time.

3. Ukraine, 2004
Speaking of Ukraine, back in 2004 they also had a singer dressed in leather and metal singing about wild dances. We’re pretty sure Ruslana‘s inspiration was Xena the Warrior Princess. And what can we say, it worked – they won.

4. Ireland, 2011
It would be unforgivable not to mention Jedward in an article about unforgettable Eurovision looks. That hair, those outfits, just the phenomenon of Jedward seems like it was meant to go down in the history of Eurovision.

5. Ireland, 2012
And yeah, it was so good we have to mention them twice. Because in 2012 their performance was even more memorable. Just look at those costumes. And remember how their number ended with both of them in the fountain? Eurovision gold.

6. Ireland, 2008
Yup, another one from Ireland. This time they send Dustin The Turkey to Eurovision and if you haven’t seen that performance – you should. Your life will never be the same afterwards. It was the weirdest thing ever.
