Eurovision always delivers plenty of surprising moments as far as the style stakes are concerned, and this year was no exception.
The OTT outfits of the performers have often been the object of satirical commentary, even Will Ferrell’s Netflix film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga was just as much a spoof of the onstage costumes as the event itself.
With 2023’s event taking place in Liverpool and the Princess of Wales making a surprise appearance, it would be remiss not to turn our attention to the occasion, and there was plenty of fashion fodder to feast our eyes on.
Here are 5 incredible style moments you missed from Eurovision 2023:
Loreen
For her winning performance Swedish singer Loreen relied on the services of couture designer Fadi El Khoury. He has dressed the likes of the Swedish royal family and attended the Ecole Superieure de Mode et des Beaux Arts in Paris. He trained under John Galliano at Christian Dior and Alber Elbaz at Lanvin, so knows how to create a stellar 'fit.

As viewers tuned into the grand final on Saturday evening, they were treated to a video of Princess Kate showing off her incredible piano skills. The royal could be seen performing in the Crimson Drawing Room of Windsor Castle, wearing a stunning blue Jenny Packham gown which she teamed with the Queen Mother Sapphire and Diamond Fringe Earrings.

Of course Alesha dazzled in her blue dress during the grand finale, but during the semi finals she donned a custom Celia Kritharioti couture gown that had us mesmerized. Styled by Laury Smith she teamed the look with vintage jewellery from Susan Caplan.
