At the Eurovision 2026 opening ceremony in Vienna, LELEK arrived in sharp Nicolas Diamane black-and-white tailoring, and the oversized collars push the styling somewhere much stranger.
Sharp lines everywhere. LELEK stepped onto the Eurovision Song Contest turquoise carpet in Vienna on May 10, 2026 wearing coordinated black-and-white looks that leaned hard into theatrical tailoring without turning costume-heavy.
This kind of exaggerated collar styling is having a real moment right now, especially around Eurovision and fashion-week-adjacent dressing. The standout piece came from the center look – a massive white sculptural hat paired with pointed collar panels cutting across the shoulders like folded paper. Around it, the rest of the group balanced the drama differently. One member wore a deep slit dress with gathered fabric near the ankles, another went with a shorter structured look and black knee-high boots, while the far-right outfit pushed volume through oversized sleeves and a rounded white skirt shape.
The photo call style stayed cohesive through the monochrome palette and gold button accents tying several looks together. And honestly, Nicolas Diamane understood the assignment here. The references to traditional dress shapes are there, but everything feels sharper and more graphic instead of nostalgic.
LELEK’s Eurovision entry “Andromeda” is described as ritualistic and cinematic, and the styling at Rathausplatz lines up neatly with that direction. Even the Croatian flags worked visually against all the black and white.
Would you keep the oversized hat with this group styling, or let the collars carry the impact on their own?
The giant collar shapes are what you’ll remember first.
The structured monochrome tailoring fits naturally beside the dramatic shapes showing up across celebrity style right now.
And yes, LELEK arriving in Vienna looked far more coordinated than most Eurovision carpet groups this year.
