Thirty-seven countries walked the turquoise carpet in Basel on Sunday. Slovenia’s Klemen turned up in a gorgeous blue suit, while Armenia’s PARG chose to flash some flesh with an open jacket — and no shirt underneath. Not to be outdone, the ladies were equally dynamic. Albania’s Beatrice from Shkodra Elektronike celebrated traditional culture while Nina Zizic gave us her take on Dune couture with a mass black orb around her neck and head.
But who got it just right? Which outfits left you gagging on the eleganza? You can let us know in our poll down below. You can vote for as many countries as you’d like, but you can only vote one time. Be sure to tick the box next to each country you want to support before pressing submit.

First off, let me say that mascott is simply the most hideous thing ever.
Omg I have family and friends all around Europe and they all said that drag queen was not funny but so rude . So surprised the turquoise carpet was a mess and Eurovision Village looked worse ever very dark and dingy
I don’t believe you.
Please yourself mate
You will always get haters Dolly. Just be you.
Yiu cannot help if you have friends around Europe. Maybe some people on here are envious of you.
I totally agree with you Dolly. It was disgustingly how Kyle was tested. She was not at all bothered with her attitude. The organisers should have got Tia kofe to do it. She is a real eurivision fan and has a great personality
Tia kofe from drag race would have done a much better job than that vile drag queen .
She was so rude & disrespectful to poor Kyle. She should no empathy whatsoever !
Horrible hosts, drag akward moment with Norways, this is sooo bad for now….
The forget to film and captured images from Portugal when the music played
Finland, Germany, Italy, Sweden & UK!
honestly poland and albania outdid everyone sorry
Why does the interviewer have to be a masculine drag all the time.? I miss when Eurovision wasn’t fully taken over by LGBT but had more diversity and elements of straightness too. Now its all about femboys, ladyboys, guys on heels, drags, nonbinaries, trans, guys in women’s clothes and we have just one straight minority: Armenia

Kudos to everyone for being so professional when faced with this awful, rude, uninformed and unskilled interviewer. What an embarrassment.
You didn’t join in on the Happy Birthday singalong?
A few nice outfits but nothing great. I remember how 2022 and 2023 were so good. Chanel in 2022 was stunning. Sheldon Riley and Monika Liu had nice outfits too. In 2023 I loved Blanka’s outfit (way more than her song) and jeez Noa Kirel and Brunette were absolutely gorgeous. I also remember the beautiful dress that Anxhela Peristeri wore on the Turquoise carpet from 2021. This year, there’s nothing I will remember. Only the political statement from the croatian guy… and the P flags, everywhere.
enough with those obnoxious, illiterate drag queens .
I agree. Only congenial literate drag queens, please.

Did Remember Monday wear their onstage performance outfits?
I really loved this Carpet event.
especially all those groups taking part in the parade. And those big crowds on the street.
It was a true uniting party.
Well done Bazel.
Yuval had to adjust her lips shaped front all the time in not slipping down.
Not very well designed.
If the way they handled the turquoise carpet is any indication of how the contest is gonna go we’re headed for a trainwreck of a show.
It’s not.
Did you watch? They said many times that coverage of the carpet ceremony is being produced by university students. All areas, from interviews to cameras to directing. The EBU are giving them a chance to gain experience. Also saving money, of course, but still.
I did not know that. But I sincerely hope those are not the best students that university has to offer.
My biggest issue were the presenters, they were badly prepared, sometimes too sarcastic, and messy, and not very

You already said that
So much for diversity.
i just can’t with these camp looks, so my vote goes to lumo
Justyna.
The only acceptable answer.
She is really an amazing and gorgeous artist. Her dress was stunning.
Hers was a lovely frock, but my vote went to Parg. He was radiant.
