The all-in-one outfit worn by RÚV television host Ragnhildur Steinunn Jónsdóttir on Saturday night's glittering Eurovision preliminaries night has been a subject of debate due to its uncanny resemblence to a Balmain design.
Linda Árnadóttir, professor of fashion design at the Iceland Academy of the Arts has voiced criticism of the choice of outfit.
The outfit closely resembles a piece from Balmain's Spring/ Summer collection for 2017.
The outfit was made by seamstress Elma Bjarney Guðmundsdóttir for Jónsdóttir.
Here is the Balmain outfit worn by model Gigi Hadid.
