This is the fourth post in a series about the Eurovision Song Contest. If you don't know what that is I strongly suggest you follow my posts. You'll learn a lot.
European tastes differ largely to Australian fare in the fashion stakes. There have been some crazy outfits over time.

| Verka Seduchka of Ukraine in 2007 |
 |
| Zdob Shi Zdub of Moldova in 2011 |
 |
| Daniel Diges of Spain had a crazy entourage in 2010 |
But what Penny pointed out to me within the first couple of years sticks the most; white is a particularly popular choice for costume designers.
So much so that I've taken to doing a white count in the last few years, just for personal use. Pretty sure around 2009 or 2010 there were at least 12 with white somehow a feature in their clothing. Let's take a look back.
First, the jeans and white top combo, simple and effective.

| t.A.T.u for Russia in 2003 |
 |
| Sakis Rouvas for Greece in 2004 |
My favourites, Bilan and Rouvas, are repeat offenders with their costuming choices as we move onto the full white.
 |
| Bilan again in 2008 when he won for Russia |
 |
| Rouvas again in 2009 |
 |
| Ell and Nikki of Azerbaijan won in 2011 |
 |
| D'Nash of Spain in 2007 |
Need I say more?
Tell me, is there an excellent example that I missed?
I'm always reminded of Eurovision when I think of flowy white garb. So much so that I couldn't help but laugh to myself when I saw this white-only clothing store in Nice one time. So European.
