ESC viewers mock her outfit

Also leading this year Barbara Schöneberger (50) through the countdown to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. The presenter once again caused a stir with an unusual outfit. In the show, which was shown on Erste from 8:15 p.m. on Saturday evening (May 11th), Schöneberger wore a pink and orange off-shoulder mini dress with an oversized sleeve.

Barbara Schöneberger’s ESC look: termite tent, sofa set or candy seller?

Online, viewers are making wild comparisons, including that Schöneberger’s dress reminds them of a “termite tent” or a “candy saleswoman.” “Barbara Schöneberger is leading the way. The bad taste party of the year has started,” a user writes on platform X, for example. Another rushes: “No matter what comes next: it can’t possibly be worse than Barbara Schöneberger’s dress.”

“What is Barbara Schöneberger hiding in her right shoulder?” asks an audience member. Another user, however, is reminded of Schöneberger’s outfit to “my grandma’s sofa set”. Another saysto recognize a product from a famous Swedish furniture store: “What kind of Ikea bed linen did Schöneberger wrap around?”

But Schöneberger is also self-ironic, as a user recognizes: “Barbara Schöneberger actually said in her moderation that she still had a trump card up her sleeve without having to laugh.” At the end of the show, the presenter joked again about her dress: “We’re excited, just like the zipper on my dress.”

Schöneberger also moderates the ESC aftershow on Erste

In “ESC – The Countdown”, Barbara Schöneberger voted the TV audience together with the German ESC participant from 2018, Michael Schulte (34), the Austrian TV presenter Arabella Kiesbauer (55) and the Swiss ESC participant from last year, Remo Forrer (22) responded to the music event. Immediately after the finale, which begins at 9 p.m., Schöneberger returns with “ESC – The Aftershow” to celebrate the winning act and the highlights of the evening. The final itself will be commented on live from Malmö for the first time this year by radio presenter Thorsten Schorn (48).

In the ARD media library, fans can either stream the supporting shows via Das Erste, or access both “ESC – The Countdown” and “ESC – The Aftershow” separately.
