Croatia has just served up our first Trintje moment with a horrific outfit. It’s huge with enormous stiffened sleeves in silver with black prints of what looks like seaweed. Over her shoulders are some rolled ribbons that on first glance look like rolls of ammunition. She looks like the Michelin Man on a suicide mission. Is she hell bent on sending her song the same way?
To be fair the outfit doesn’t stay on for long. A couple of quick tugs from the backing singers and it’s off. She’s in her civvies underneath, but we think it might eventually reveal the frock she’s been touting in the preview parties. The outer shell is clearly by the same designer as the green one with a similar bladderwrack print. I’m not sure what will be worse.
I adore this song, and she sings it well enough, but I did fear it might have a struggle to qualify: with the choice of outfit it’s like she’s moved her own starting block back about 6 kilometres. Oh I’m so disappointed at the moment.
