The Blue Carpet event is here in Lisbon! All of the delegations are ready to take to the carpet to introduce themselves to the host city of Lisbon. Artists walk down the carpet with a message for Lisbon in a glass jar, which is placed within the centre piece on the carpet. The hosts of Eurovision took to the carpet first, showing off their elegant gowns at the welcoming event. Eugent is wearing a short sleeved silky silver shirt, black waistcoat and spray-on skinny trousers. The Armenian participant, Sevak , is wearing a black shirt and trousers with a deep red velvet smoking jacket.
The jacket is modernised with a snakeskin lapel, and a purple pocket square. Sevak also adapts for the hot weather by wearing sunglasses. Jessica Mauboy is wearing a Toni Maticevski gown. The neckline is cut at an asymmetric modern angle, and zip detail on the hem of the sleeves makes it on-trend. Cesar channels his inner businessman with a black checked suit. His open neck shirt suits his relaxed personality and he seems very chilled and comfortable, perhaps boding well for his performance on Tuesday?
Aisel is wearing an ethnic-inspired number designed by Sabine Huseyn. There is beautiful jewelled detail across her shoulders, in subtle classical gem colours. Alekseev from Belarus is dressed similarly to Sevak from Armenia, again in classic black trousers and black shirt. His jacket, however, is black, making everything look quite serious!
Sennek is daring to be different by wearing a tuxedo to the red carpet. Her outfit is by Veronique Branquinho , who also designed her stage outfit. Sennek said of her own style that she would like to be James Bond and not the Bond girl, but perhaps the suit could have fitted and flattered her graceful figure a bit more, as she looks a bit swamped in the jacket.
Equinox are keeping up their stage image fantastically, as each band member wears black and is coordinated, but they ensure that everything they wear reflects their own individual styles.
