‘Huge Sparkly Red Lips, A Spinning Disco Ball’ And A ‘Bright Yellow Dress’: What We Know So Far About Miriana Conte’s First Eurovision Rehearsal
Mere minutes after Malta’s Miriana Conte took to the Eurovision stage for her very first rehearsal, we’ve been given a look into what SERVING is going to look like next week… and while some things have remained the same, other big additions have been made.
“Whilst The Sound of Music remains an inspiration (we’re still do-re-mi-fa-s-s-serving, after all), the visual storytelling we saw at MESC has mostly gone,” ESC News reported this morning following Malta’s 10:30am rehearsal slot.
“Firstly there’s a big prop – a set of huge sparkly red lips holding a spinning disco ball – the whole structure is probably three metres high, and sits in the centre of the stage,” the reporting continued.
“It turns at the start, and Miriana is inside, wearing a bright yellow dress with a huge skirt made from tiered netting with black sleeves,” ESC News elaborated. “She’s lifted out of the disco ball and the dress, to reveal a catsuit that’s the same style as the one we saw at MESC, but now black and red and VERY sparkly. Her hair is now also bright red, by the way – the whole thing feels like a transition from poisonous flower to queen of hearts.”
And wouldn’t you know, moments later, Miriana actually took to Instagram herself to reveal her new bright hairstyle and colour!

“The dance routine is very similar to MESC, but her four dancers have swapped the Von Trapp outfits for red fishnets, strappy black underwear and red fur jackets,” the analysis went on. “The final chorus plays out on the frame stage, where the red gym balls appear for a bouncy finish. The graphics wall transitions between graphic art exploding flowers and bouncing leopard visuals, dancing legs and words from the song, finishing with DIVA NOT DOWN in huge letters.”
“The whole thing is very Miriana – bold, unapologetic, and a lot of fun,” ESC finished. “What a way to start the day.”
Miriana takes to the big stage in front of all of Europe next Thursday, 15th May, for the second Semi Final, hoping to make it to Saturday’s Grand Final. Malta is set to perform in ninth place, right after Israel and just before Finland
