While most performers tend to opt for a look that screams "I'm a pop star," there were also quite a few brilliant moments, such as Dana International's iconic dress, the satin outfits of the Swedish band ABBA or Eleni Foureira's fire jumpsuit from Cyprus.
ABBA made its Eurovision debut in 1974. That same year, the slightly future satin outfit captivated the audience, with blue, orange and silver looks becoming their trademark.
