Looking for some post-lockdown outfit inspiration?
The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual international song competition, held every year by the European Broadcasting Union since 1956. The Eurovision may be canceled this year but Netflix is filling that void with their new film “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga” released on 26th June starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams.
Thanks to Netflix's new film we are giving fans a chance to be crowned the ultimate fan in our Battle of the Fans competition on our brand new Magic pop-up station, Magic Eurosong. The winner will recieve 6 months free Netflix, £500 cash and a message from a Eurovision star. Find out more information here.

To celebrate the greatest show on the continent we are going to take a look at 5 of the BEST outfits ever to come out of The Eurovision Song Contest:
5. Dana International, Israel, 1998
Dana International wore this amazing Jean Paul Gaultier bolero from his Haute Couture 1997 collection ‘The Haute Couture Salon Atmosphere’. Dana was the first trans woman to win The Eurovision Song Contest, making this incredibly significant for the LGBTQ+ community.
4. Alex Swings Oscar Sings! featuring Dita Von Teese, Germany, 2009
Who could forget those amazing and very shiny disco pants?! Plus viewers were stunned when Alex was joined onstage by US pin up star Dita Von Teese.
3. Loreen, Sweden, 2012
The Swedish singer Loreen's song 'Euphoria' became a massive dance track and she also made black jumpsuits and floral kimono’s very popular after her mesmerising Eurovision final performance. Who doesn’t love a good kimono.
2. Verka Serduchka, Ukraine, 2007
Where do we begin with this outfit? Verka was quite literally the star of the show! The Ukranian entry will always be remembered for her bejewelled camp costumes and equally sparkling troupe of dancers. TANZEN!
1. Conchita Wurst, Austria, 2014
A breathtaking voice and dress, Conchita certainly did Rise Like A Phoenix in this beautiful golden gown complete with flawless waves and that striking beard. The most iconic Eurovision look that the competition has seen and has since been recreated by fans on countless occasions and rightly so!
