The blue of the hair

Couldn’t you wait any longer? After two years of lack, caused by the cancellation of the 2020 edition, it is time to regain the subtle pleasure of Eurovision. The festivities opened at the end of last week, in Rotterdam, with the parade of candidates on a magnificent carpet, not red, but turquoise. Why this color? Is it to evoke the powers of the stone of the same name, considered in lithotherapy as the gem which grants the physical being and the spiritual being? No, because turquoise is the color of the ceremony’s sponsor, Moroccanoil, hair care specialist.

The Fervent Scarlet

If the carpet wasn’t red that night, it’s an understatement to say that Anxhela Peristeri was. The spectacular Albanian candidate had indeed released for the occasion an evening dress, slit, bustier cup and finished with a long scarlet train. She had accessorized it with a pair of pumps and an impressive disc hat. Regarding the latter, note that English speakers designate hats covering only part of the head, and not protecting absolutely from the sun, by the term “Fascinator”. Because their only function is to fascinate. No doubt we are.

The bait of the glove

To be even more chic, the singer had also released, such Rita Hayworth in Gilda, his long silk gloves, or opera gloves. Indeed, this accessory is historically reserved for the most glamorous nocturnal social events, and its use is even governed by a strict label. Thus, a lady can not traditionally put on or take off long gloves in public, so as not to disturb the men around her… Please, don’t take any risks.

Lagging behind

In Anxhela Peristeri’s wake, an assistant activates to adjust the train of the dress, making sure that, in fact, it does not hang around anywhere. In other words, its role is crucial these days. Recall that in the XIXe century, campaigns were conducted in Europe and the United States to raise awareness of the dangers of wearing dresses with trains, veritable nests of germs, facilitating the importation into homes of evils from outside. This is one of the reasons why their popularity declined during this period. But it cannot be ruled out that Anxhela Peristeri is relaunching the trend.

In ankles

Finally, how can we not notice, at the cost of a small zoom, that the assistant in question wears, in his patent crepe sole moccasins, a pair of black mini-socks? These,
supposedly invisible, in fact overflow below her ankle bone, particularly exposed by pants that are too short. And way too tight. Conclusion? This photo is glamorous from head to toe.
