Estonia Eurovision contestant Elina Nechayeva stuns in colour changing dress

The Eurovision Song Contest is a spectacle to behold - filled with talent, entertainment, and stage presence.

While enjoying the musical aspect of the performances is the point, the outfits also lend to the enjoyment and appeal of the competition.

This year, the competition was especially fierce among the 26 remaining countries who battled it out in the finals - and they brought the fashion to match.

These are the nine best looks of Eurovision 2018.

Estonia - Elina Nechayeva

Nechayeva stunned in a special projection dress that took up most of the stage as she sang La Forza.

The dress used video projection features to transform colours and designs during Nechayeva’s performance and almost required Estonian government funding over costs.

Israel - Netta

Cyprus - Eleni Foureira
