These fun Eurovision outfits are sure to earn you douze points.
Whether you look forward to Eurovision like it’s Christmas or whether you’re being reluctantly dragged to a fancy dress party, dressing up for Eurovision can be a complicated affair.
The first ever Eurovision Song Contest was celebrated in 1956, meaning that there’s almost 70 years of costume history to draw inspiration from. This may seem daunting at first glance, but luckily we’re here to help.
The main thing to keep in mind about Eurovision is that it’s camp and over-the-top all the way. Some of the most iconic Eurovision outfits include ABBA’s cropped flares and knee-high silver boots, Scooch’s blue flight attendant-themed costumes, and Måneskin’s custom red leather outfits.
However, if you’re not feeling as brave as these Eurovision stars, we’ve got Eurovision-themed t-shirts and finishing-touch accessories for a simpler outfit. But if you’re looking for an elaborate ABBA costume to celebrate the 50-year anniversary of their Eurovision win, we’ve also got you covered.
We’re well aware that Eurovision is fast approaching, so we’ve included plenty of costume options with next-day delivery. Items from Amazon and Smiffy’s are eligible for quick delivery, helping you to put together an easy last-minute Eurovision fancy dress outfit.

The Eurovision Song Contest has faced significant criticism over its decision to allow Israel to compete in this year’s competition in light of the current situation in Gaza and the Middle East, with some fans and members of the music industry calling for a boycott of the ceremony.
Noel Curran – director general of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organises Eurovision – has said in a statement: “We understand the concerns and deeply held views around the current conflict in the Middle East. We can’t fail to be moved by the profound suffering of all those caught up in this terrible war.
“However, the Eurovision Song Contest is a non-political music event and a competition between public service broadcasters who are members of the EBU. It is not a contest between governments.
“As a member-led organisation, our governing bodies – the Eurovision Song Contest Reference Group and the Executive Board – did review the participants list for the 2024 Contest and agreed that the Israeli public broadcaster KAN met all the competition rules for this year and can participate as it has for the past 50 years.”
The artists taking part in this year’s contest have also faced backlash for not pulling out of the ceremony, including the UK’s act Olly Alexander, who signed a joint statement alongside other entrants explaining they “do not feel comfortable being silent”.
“It is important to us to stand in solidarity with the oppressed and communicate our heartfelt wish for peace, an immediate and lasting ceasefire, and the safe return of all hostages,” the statement read. “We stand united against all forms of hate, including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
“We firmly believe in the unifying power of music, enabling people to transcend differences and foster meaningful conversations and connections. We feel that it is our duty to create and uphold this space, with a strong hope that it will inspire greater compassion and empathy.”
