Verka Serduchka's "Dancing Lasha Tumbai"

Ukraine's entry for the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest pulled out all the stops in the costume department. It was like the Tin Man from "The Wizard of Oz" set up a disco party, complete with a pair of metallic platform shoes and '70s-style sunglasses. But, believe it or not, Dolce & Gabbana was the fashion house behind the costumes.

The entry was surrounded by controversy about a drag artist representing the country, but Verka Serduchka had the last laugh, taking second place — and returning to perform at the song contest in Israel in 2019. Of course, Ukraine went on to win in 2016, and then again in 2022, with the UK now hosting this year's competition due to the ongoing war.
