The 2023 Eurovision Song Contest is officially underway.
Each year, countries around the world choose a musical representative of their nation to perform in the contest hosted by the European Broadcasting Union. Multiple rounds and audience votes determine the year's best song, and the competition is then hosted in the winner's home country the following year.
Previous winners include Celine Dion, ABBA, Måneskin, and most recently, Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra.
This year's contest is being held in Liverpool, England — a spot chosen to avoid conflicts with Russia after Ukraine's 2022 victory — and will be streamed in the US via Peacock starting on Tuesday.
And to kick off the event, participants walked the turquoise carpet at Eurovision's opening ceremony on Saturday in standout outfits. Here's what the representatives of each country wore.
