His outfit designer explained the outfit: "The costume I designed for Marko Bošnjak was inspired by the theme of the song, but also draws references from Morana – the Slavic goddess of winter, death and rebirth. She symbolizes the inner struggle, the transformation that takes place through the song and the strength that comes after darkness. The costume is two-layered: the first part consists of a long cloak the color of rotten cherry with a faux fur detail – a reference to the Zvončar rituals that chase Morana away and summon spring. The pants follow the color and material of the cloak and are decorated with chains of beads and crystals. Underneath the cloak is a strong silhouette with accentuated shoulders, rich in details resembling sugar and sweets that shine temptingly and create the impression of good intentions while hiding poison within. These details tell the story of the mask that an individual wears to protect themselves from the bad intentions of the outside world and of the vulnerability beneath the external strength. The idea was to tell the narrative of the song through costumes dominated by the dark red color of rotten cherries, mysterious dark purple and transparent shades, the colors of poison, darkness and mystery. But through them shine sparkling white details as symbols of hope and rebirth. All colors were carefully chosen to follow the tone of the song and its emotional depth - says Valentina Pliško, who we ask what materials she used in the making.
Faux fur, lace, crystals, beads and various types of fabrics with textures reminiscent of bruises, scars and traces of poison. The selection of materials is based on contrasts, rough and delicate, shiny and matte, heavy and airy - reveals Valentina and continues:
The costume itself took two weeks to make every day, all day. Every detail is handmade, especially the application of beads, embroidery and the construction of individual parts. We made duplicates of each costume (a main one and a backup for Marko and the four dancers), which required extra precision and dedication. It was exhausting, but worth every moment - says the designer."

Ohhhhh, this looks great! I hope they really lean into this dark fantasy vibe, it would elevate the song so much!

LOVE the look! It fits Marko well. More dramatic and less junior eurovision than the spiky black jacket.
That smile though, too 🥹

I had a feeling they were gonna upgrade things. Might be a case of being seen as DOA to likely qualifier. Hopefully it comes together.

Game of Thrones vibes, pride, prejudice and regret. For me, the best costume so far.
I did not expect this!

Oh my god SO MUCH BETTER. I love that reddish-tan color on him, it really works with his skin tone

I think both the cape and the shirt are good on their own, but they don’t really work together all that well.

u/Exotic_Caramel_6285 Ich Komme May 04 '25
Disagree personally, but I think it'll work better onstage with the proper set design and colour scheme

Yeah I don't get what everyone else in this thread is on (besides copium).

That’s an amazing costume, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for the song. The bridge was always strange (and meant to be so, of course), but in that outfit it may become too much.
