The trio of presenters of theEurovision Song Contest 2023 welcomes the worldwide audience following the event to the second semi-final of this year’s edition. The three artists dominate the scene with looks of great visual impact. One cannot fail to notice the combination of colors of the dresses chosen by Julija Sanina and Hannah Waddingham (the latter, the most remarkable and fascinating). With a blue leatherette jumpsuit, the first, and a sunny yellow dress with a train, the second, the two women bring the colors of the Ukrainian flag to the stage

Brunette, Armenian singer whose name is Elen Yeremyan performs the song Future Lovers under an impressive light show. Her one-shoulder dress with paneled skirt and matching high boots is perfect for the studied choreography. The hairstyle with super long hair enhances the image of the gorgeous pop star

For Romania there is Theodor Andrei. The song is DGT (Off And On). The singer stands out for a bare-chested performance and a bermuda suit, also pink for him. Combat boots and (long) socks are matching

Estonia competes with Alika presenting the track bridges. The 20-year-old from Narva adopts a powder blue look with elements (the belt buckles and those on the sleeves or the panels on the trousers) that accompany her movements. Contemporary, essential and impactful

Gustaph competes for Belgium, also with a look in which the color pink is not lacking. The chosen outfit is not very coherent with the dance rhythms of the piece, Because of you. The artist, who wears designer trousers with openings, is the only one of the evening to debut with a hat with a brim

The Eurovision Song Contest never lacks (at least) one performer who chooses to perform barefoot. This year it’s up to the Cypriot artist Andrew Lambrou who, without shoes and with an oversized dark suit with waistcoat worn without a shirt, focuses on the stage presence that is in line with the emotionally strong atmospheres of his song, Break A Broken Heart

The 21-year-old Icelandic Diljá Pétursdóttir makes a lot of noise. The singer engages with the choreography for the song Power who is also vocally very powerful. To be remembered, she focuses on hair that is loose but styled back. The outfit is an oversized silver suit in coated and reflective fabric. At the end of the song she stays on top

Victor Vernicos, singer competing for Greece, is only sixteen years old and even the outfit for his debut on stage at the most popular singing event in the world tells his universe as a teenager: sand total look with short jacket with zip, t -shirt and Bermuda shorts, worn with combat boots and visible socks. The style is a bit like a scout camp, better focus on the song: What They Say

With Blanka Stajkow on stage pop sounds, color, side dancers and sequins arrive. The look of the singer of Alone is consistent with his hitmaker image. At the end of the performance the shaded panel of the gown comes off and the artist sparkles in a crystal minidress

Finally, with Slovenia, a band arrives on stage: Joker Out. The five members are dressed in all different but harmonious outfits, in which green and soft pink and floral details dominate. The singer appears in a shiny blouse and trousers but, overall, all the looks have their reason

Iru Khechanovi, the singer from Georgia also known only as Iru, won the Junior Eurovision in 2011 and looks very much in control of the stage. Her stage presence is solid thanks also to the choice of a long and light white dress (which leaves the abdomen uncovered) which sways in the wind while she remains still on stage (choice in contrast with almost all the other performers in the competition). Her beauty look is remarkable with applications of large crystals on the face and temples

The Piqued Jacks are the other band competing for Eurovision 2023. The Tuscans, who compete for San Marino, dress in black and bet a lot on the image of the singer E-King who sports a shiny jacket and a string of pearls in the throat

For Austria, the duo made up of Teya & Salena focuses on contrasting, black and white looks with one element that unites them: the red top. The performance on the song Who The Hell Is Edgar? it is consistent with this strong aesthetic that visually enraptures the viewers. Both singers wear gloves that leave their fingers uncovered

In the visually striking look of Albina, the singer competing for Albania with the song Duje, there is a mix of contemporary pop star style and elements of the costume of his land, a mixture also evident in the song chosen for Eurovision. On stage with Kelmendi are her mother, father, brother and two sisters

The dress by Monika Linkytė, an artist in competition for Lithuania, is structured and entirely sewn with drapes. The look is completed by a pair of sandals with high heels and matching platforms. The beauty look is simple: no effect make-up or particular hairstyle. The singer remains faithful to her smooth bob

It’s up to the Australians Voyager to close the performances of the second semifinal with a performance on the song He promised full of energy and guitars. Singer Danny Estrin gives his best by unleashing his long hair in the spotlight that makes the sequined houndstooth suits chosen for the evening shine
