Eurovision 2021 Opening Ceremony: Fashion on the Turquoise Carpet
On Sunday, 34 competing artists walked the Moroccanoil Turquoise Carpet.
Unfortunately, five acts were missing. Romania’s Roxen and Malta’s Destiny were forced to self-isolate after a guest in their shared hotel tested positive for COVID-19. Meanwhile, Poland’s Rafal and Iceland’s Daði og Gagnamagnið sat out after members of their respective delegations also tested positive. Australia’s Montaigne and her team did not travel to Rotterdam owing to travel restrictions.
However, isolation didn’t stop the stars from sharing their looks. From the comfort of their hotel rooms, Roxen, Rafal and Destiny all shared what they planned to wear at tonight’s event!
You can get a closer look at all 37 of the artists’ looks in our master post or on wiwibloggs’ Instagram and Twitter.

D i o r j ‘ a d o r e a v e c t o i B a r b a r a ! G o !!!
Yall sleeping on Efendi.
Anxhelha was like a Albanian lady dimitrescu from RE village
voted for queenbitch of course – she is miles ahead in the poll – something is going on after all this bashing?
My highlight was Roxen and her bathroom photoshoot! But Ana, Barbara, Blas and Stefania were ellegant as usual, Benny always look good on his casual wardrobe and Victoria also looked gorgeous by standing with her style.
Maneskin always look cool, they never get fashion wrong. The Black Mamba as a collective were also very appealing, loved the diversity of colors. And from the more avant-garde group, I think Vaidotas and Vasil looked great.
And, last but not least, a shout-out to Tornike for wearing a mask.
Ana, definitely. I also loved Benny’s jacket.
I don’t think we’ll get any footage of it
Also why the heck is Poland in there and not Iceland, in that logic?
Oh, nevermind, I did some research and he posted his outfit on social media (it still sucks)
My vote went to:
Albania (I don’t get why people hate the dress, it’s amazing!)
Cyprus (Elena is already magnificent without wearing something extravagant and showed that)
Greece (One of the best clearly, it suited her perfectly)
San Marino (Senhit is an icon, she can make every ugly dress look like something a model would wear)
Ukraine (Do I need to say anything about them?)
Yes, livestream tonight! Greets from Latvia!
Gosh, who thinks that Albania was dressed nice?? That was a really cheap outfit! Stefania and Elena were much much better!
Montaigne said that Albina was best dressed. And Montaigne is a fashion icon.
You do realize Albania and Albina is not the same, do you?
Omg what the hell is wrong with me? My bad lol
Albania was slaying tooo
For a second I felt bad about voting for “just” a black dress, but it looks so stunning and if you do so, nobody could feel bad about it lol ^^ Here’s hope for Ana to qualify!
99% kitsch! LOL
I don’t know who was the best dressed, but I do know that it was weird to see the Roop dressed in other color than yellow.
Who I think was dressed best, is also who I’ll think will win.
Samanta’s outfit is depicting her as tge harbinger and she wanted to make it looking royal and divine. Initially, it was going to be the stage outfit for the performance. Unfortynately, on camera it looked unflattering, so she decided to make the long dress.
Samanta hijacked the poll again
She did not, she is just offering her followers to vote. Everyone of the participants are welcome to do it. In this case, that is everbody’s opinion.
Well she first had to gain fans who would vote in these polls, so that’s her best work. Getting loyal fans is not an easy task
It’s getting ridiculous now, she didn’t even have a nice outfit ew
Get ready for the bots to downvote you to -50.
Underdressed Tix
Leon the Professional Robertas from the Roop
Geisha Niko from Blind Channel
Albanian hat reminds me of Ascot.
Samanta Tina was stunning and in her character! AMAZING!
Anxhela, Victoria, Elena, Barbara, Stefania, Maneskin, The Roop, Go_A.
Who was best dressed on the Turquoise carpet?
And 89 people have voted for Malta, 15 for Poland and a whacking 366 for Romania!
So? They posted their looks on social media.
Everybody looked sooo great and spread love in every corner. That`s why I love Eurovision.
Albina, you are so beautiful, unfortunately this look was not my favourite at all, but the most important is, that you felt comfortable, and you did!
I hope everybody could enjoy the evening even with a lot of restrictions.
And Tornike looked great as always and I really hope he is enjoying this experience. He deserves to be there, and he deserves having a better song too. A lot of love to Georgia and all other participants.
Barbara was just perfect in relation to her entry !
Anhela’s Jessica Rabbit concept is controversial…
Ana is gorgeous
Efendi, Stefania and Anxhela looked beautiful. Actually all of them looked beautiful.
I’m so excited for tomorrow and at the same time sad for the 6 acts whose Eurovision journey will in a way already end tomorrow.
I wish we could have all songs in the final. 🙁
Easy Israel by far!
Good news guys!
Both Romanian and Maltese delegations were tested negative and can do the rehearsals today
Poland is tested negative but they have to test again on the day of semi final 2 rehearsals
No info on iceland yet!
Thank you, this is great news! I am happy to see Destiny, Roxen, and presumably Rafal performing in semis live! 🙂 I just hope they’ll be *extra careful* now!
Sending my best wishes to Dadi and his team. I hope they’ll be negative, and able to perform!
Great news! Hope they are all able to perform! Where did you read the news?
EBU Statement: Update regarding participants and COVID-19 tests (Monday 17 May) – Eurovision Song Contest
Thanks for the link! Now we wait for Iceland’s results hoping that they will also be able to perform live!!!
Everyone looked amazing except Gjon, for me.
This is so rude and unnecessary.
I voted for like 30 of them because sis they all slayed. (Almost all)
The Roop by all means <3
James the Great…Manizha the Magnificent 😉
Anxhela Peristeri was a stunning beauty in red, with her amazing feminine body. Love that look so much she is such a queen! ??
I love the fact that Roxen took 2nd place and she did not came. So many fake voters here.
She looked great in her hotel room though. She made the best of the cards she was dealt.
Well, she had the best outfit!
Did you see her Instagram?
She could belch on stage and fans would still applaud every millisecond of it xD
Only if it was in tune.
How is posible Poland, Romania and Malta be include here? They wasn’t there!!!!!
They showed their looks on instagram. Calm your tits.
And why sould we know that ?
Why not?
Amazing dresses as always. Hope everyone stayed safe during the event. Also:
Happy Eurovision week guys!! I hope we all have an amazing Eurovision week with our family, friends or in whatever way we want to spend it!!
OMG ! But did you see Samanta Tina’s outfit? It was fierce!
Gjon’s raincoat strongly reminded me of that scene in American Psycho haha. Not sure this was the best choice 😀
Just me?
he looks like he wants to join Go_A band 🙂
As for the fasion – 2021 certainly seems like the year of the jumpsuit.
Standouts for me would be Lesley, looking powerful and confident, The Roop serving art gallery executive realness, Jeangu and his brother, looking sleek and making their jumpsuits look fashion-forward, Samanta living her Elsa Queen fantasy, Manizha and her crew looking absolutely stunning and fabulous, and Gjon’s take on the Maltese flag.
And Senhit, of course, looking like San Marinese royalty, teaching people Adrenalina as she went!
I love how Tornike looked like a huge Eurovision fan XD
I thought they all looked fabulous, it’s just a pleasure and a joy to have the 38 in Rotterdam! In a way, the best thing to see them wearing was all those smiles – they look so delighted!
Very cute how Albina, Eden, Jendrik, and Vasil couldn’t stop smiling and looking around to take in the atmosphere!
Anxhela was simply ravishing, and so was Ana Soklic, with her elegance. Efendi is beautiful, and her dress looked very lovely too. Maneskin were really well dressed, and a few guys in suits looked dapper too. From the more extravagant ones, I’d say I liked Manizha’s outfit the best.
Ana was ready for the Oscars in that outfit, very Red Carpet!
Does anyone know who was wearing what?
Very disappointing to see that few people were wearing masks. It doesn’t make a difference if you’re at the arena or walking down a turquoise carpet. Hope everyone keeps safe so that nobody misses out on a great opportunity!
I also got so anxious seeing several people not wearing masks. I also hope no one is unwell for the contest
It was in open air so it doesn’t make a problem
