The Eurovision Song Contest’s grand final saw the remaining 26 countries battle it out for the top spot and while there was plenty of singing, there was also plenty of sequins.
France’s entry La Zarra took the stage in a huge sparkly dress while standing on a tall platform with viewers quick to compare it to the famous French landmark the Eiffel Tower.
She was later seen in a smaller version of the sparkly dress as she stood on the platform and continued to perform.
La Zarra was the 6th performer to take to the stage and sang Evidemment.
