Samira Efendi is getting ready to represent Azerbaijan at  Eurovision 2021. The rehearsals have been already held in Rotterdam at the Ahoy Arena. 

The presentation revolves around a giant orb in the background throughout the performance. 

At the end of the stage show, the orb is lifted into the air where it explodes in a rain of golden sparkles, leaving the image of Nazar, a symbol of fortune in Azerbaijan. 

Azerbaijani designer Rufat Ismayil is behind the outfit that Efendi will be wearing at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021.

Speaking about Efendi's costume, the designer stressed that it will fully reflect the spirit of a strong, confident woman.

Efendi's costume will be adorned with precious and semi-precious stones; it will combine Azerbaijan's traditional elements but with a modern twist.

Meanwhile, Samira Efendi will represent Azerbaijan at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Mata Hari".

Speaking about the meaning of the song, Efendi noted that it is about female power.
