After a week-long quandary and several changes, Lithuania’s Eurovision hopeful Monika Linkytė has settled on a style for her semi-final performance on Thursday night. For her dress rehearsal on Wednesday, she appeared in a new outfit she is planning to show off to Europe.
Since arriving in Liverpool, Linkytė has changed her stage look several times.
During her first rehearsal in the arena, she appeared on stage in an asymmetrical amber dress designed especially for the competition. Immediately afterwards, Monika and her image team said that the dress did not quite fit the overall vision of the show, so it was decided to replace it.
Linkytė jokingly compared the dress to a jellyfish and wrote on her Instagram that it was time to release it into the sea. The team decided to design a completely new dress for the semi-finals, to be made by London-based designer Omar Bayoumi.
The dress rehearsal on Wednesday before the second semi-final was the first opportunity to see how Linkytė will finally look on the Eurovision stage. Before that, she appeared in a simpler orange dress that many thought was her final choice.
“I feel satisfied, at least for me the dress is very nice, I feel good in it, I feel myself,” Monika said about her Eurovision look. Her new silk dress is a tighter, long-sleeved, but in the same orange (“amber”) colour as the previous ones.
Following the change in Monica’s look, her backing vocalists Yvonne, Nicola, Deborah aka Ouraa, and Charleen also appeared on stage in new outfits.
