Verka Serduchka the Ukrainian icon at Eurovision
Verka Serduchka

We bloody love Verka, did you know that? We may have mentioned it one or two THOUSAND times. She’s a drag queen, comedian and singer and we’ve been very relieved to continue to see her posting on Instagram and going on tour in the past year.

She represented Ukraine in 2007 (our favourite Eurovision final EVAR), with a song that is almost as iconic as the outfit she wore!

A few years ago we made our own Verka costume out of tin foil and wig caps, but this year we’ve scoured the internet and found some great options for you to recreate this classic look.

This was a belter of a song, wasn’t it? And look how COOL she is.

Oleg Psyuk (Kalush Orchestra)
Oleh Psiuk (Kalush Orchestra)
It’s hard to write stuff about Kalush Orchestra in our usual way because, well, it was pretty damn special what they did and it’s not something to make light of. Wearing a pink hat that’s almost as famous as the feminist pussy hats (yeah we went there) will make you instantly recognisable as a WINNER BABY!
