Michelle Hunziker looks incredible in a glitzy silver gown as she co-hosts 2025 Eurovision final alongside Sandra Studer and Hazel Brugger
The 48-year-old model made a jaw-dropping entrance in Basel as she joined her co-hosts to present this year's grand finale.
Michelle was born in Switzerland and acquired Italian citizenship when she tied the knot with Eros Ramazzotti, 61.
She showcased her incredibly muscular frame in the strapless gown, while Sandra and Hazel slipped into stylish suits.
Hazel, 31, wore a quirky suit jacket and matching trousers teamed with vibrant trainers.
Meanwhile, Sandra, 56, looked radiant and glowing in a shimmering pink dress before changing into a LBD to perform a rendition of her 1991 Eurovision performance.
Swiss and Italian TV presenter Michelle shot to fame in the 90s and over the years has played herself and taken on characters in various productions.
She's starred in a number of films, including The Protagonists, Alex l'ariete, Madagascar, Natale a Rio and Amore nero.
Some TV programmes include I misteri di Cascina Vianello, La forza dell'amore, Love Bugs and Idol x Warrior Miracle Tunes.
She's also presented and been a contestant in Buona Domenica, Superstar, Telegatto, All Together Now and Striscia la notizia.
Over the years she's been married a number of times.
Her first marriage was to Italian pop star Eros. The pair were married between 1998 and 2002. The two share one daughter called Aurora, 28.
During the time that they were together she joined a sect called Warriors of Light, which saw members follow a vegan diet and not drink, smoke, have sex or masturbate.
Michelle, who was 20 at the time of joining, was a member for five years after meeting a therapist called Clelia.
Meanwhile, Sandra, 56, looked radiant and glowing in a shimmering pink dress before changing into a LBD to perform a rendition of her 1991 Eurovision performance
They grew close after she helped Eros feel better after having a sore throat.
The star opened up about it all in her 2018 autobiography A Seemingly Perfect Life.
Michelle wrote: 'Before the meetings we had to shower and put on white clothes.
'We always had to take off our shoes on the threshold. Then we had to wash our hands again and sit in circles on the sofas or cross-legged on the floor before starting the sessions of lying down or meditating.'
Michelle grew close with the therapist and said: 'According to Clelia, sexuality was an animalistic instinct and therefore dirty and low.
'We had to lift that instinct to a higher level, sublimate it, and turn it into inner energy.'
She left Warriors of Light when she was 25.
MailOnline reported back in 2018 that she had blamed their divorce on the cult and they tried to convince her that he was a bad influence.

Michelle later married Tomaso Trussardi, 42, in 2014. The former couple divorced in 2022. Their marriage produced tow daughters Sole, 12, and Celeste, 10.
Michelle took to her Instagram to update 5.8m fans with what she's up to ahead of Eurovision.
Sharing a selfie of herself pouting, she wrote: 'First day in Basel.'
A video of herself at the Eurovision headquarters was posted in the next story.
The UK will see Inside Remember Monday, which is made up of Holly-Anne Hull, Charlotte Steele and Lauren Byrne, battle it out for the top spot in the singing competition.
The last time the UK won the competition was when Since Katrina & The Waves won in 1997.
The girl group from Farnborough, Hampshire, have entered their song What The Hell Just Happened? for this year's competition.
Speaking ahead of their big performance, they said: 'Today is the first time we've felt a little bit anxious because it's real now.'
Meanwhile Doctor Who actor Ncuti Gatwa has had to pull out of the 2025 Eurovision final due to 'unforeseen circumstances'.
The actor was due to be the UK's spokesperson, but Sophie Ellis-Bextor will now take his place.

Meet Gen Z's female David Beckham: How Swiss footballer Alisha Lehmann became the world's sexiest footballer - with lucrative brand deals, underwear campaigns and high-profile romances
The 90s era of football celebrity had Posh and Becks, sultry Calvin Klein ads and trendy tracksuits - and now, the newest face of the sport has brought with her 17 million Instagram, a sultry Tezenis campaign and a history-making 'couple transfer' never before seen in the game. At just 26, Juventus FC forward Alisha Lehmann has become a global sensation thanks to her knockout looks, high-profile love life, and impressive endorsement empire that rivals that of the Inter-Miami president. The Swiss star, who is set to face Spain tonight in a pivotal Women's Euros quarter-final, is known for embracing full glam on and off the pitch - demonstrating that athletic excellence and femininity can go hand in hand. Born in the small town of Tägertschi, Lehmann, who has accumulated 60 international caps so far enjoyed a rise to stardom which has been nothing short of meteoric. With her tattoos, signature platinum blonde hair, and off-pitch persona, it's no wonder fans have dubbed her the female David Beckham. Like Becks in his prime, she's blurred the lines between athlete and celebrity - and brands can't get enough. After her early years at FC Konolfingen, Lehmann signed her first professional contract with BCS YB Frauen in 2016. She spent two years with the Swiss team before transferring to West Ham United Women. The 26-year-old also had a half-season loan stint with Everton in 2021, before making a permanent move to Villa in the summer. After spells at the prestigious football clubs, the forward found fame not just for her skills on the pitch, but her striking appearance and confident social media presence. She's since turned her image into a global brand, racking up partnerships with Adidas, EA Sports, and even launching her own fitness and fashion lines. Meanwhile, she has also been snapped up by underwear brand bikini brand Tezenis for an international campaign. Lehmann revealed news of the partnership with an Instagram post - featuring herself wearing a red bikini. In a video upload, the sports star could be seen sunbathing before she took a ball from a bag and started doing kick-ups. 'Same energy. Different uniform @tezenisofficial,' she penned. While with Villa it is said that Lehmann was earning around £160,000 per year, sponsorships with Adidas and EA Sports likely helped bolster her earnings further. With more than 17 million followers on Instagram, the Swiss professional footballer is the most-followed female footballer in the world, and she's not shy about flaunting her glam lifestyle In addition, reports suggest the sports star secured a lucrative endorsement deal with sports drink brand Prime, reportedly valued at more than £928,000, according to The Sun. While the specifics of her contract with Juventus remain undisclosed, estimates from early last year placed her net worth at approximately £1.9million. And footie isn't the only skill the athlete possesses for future career prospects. 'I wouldn't say that working as a model was on my bucket list, but it is certainly cool and it is definitely a change,' she told a recent interview with 20 minutes. 'I always feel confident in front of the camera. That's why I really enjoy modelling. And when you work with different people, you can always learn something. I wouldn't say that I'm a model, I'm a footballer.' Brand expert Hayley Knight revealed she could also rake in 'anywhere from £20,000 to £60,000 per sponsored post' on social media thanks to her mega following. S'While Beckham built his empire through a mix of footballing success, fashion, and celebrity culture, Lehmann represents the next evolution: a footballer whose digital presence drives immense brand value,' she told FEMAIL. 'With that kind of following, brands will be paying her anywhere from £20,000 to £60,000 per sponsored post — and a great deal more for global advertising campaigns. 'Recent deals with Adidas, EA Sports, and Guess showcase her intense pulling power. Add in her beauty, fashion and lifestyle endorsements, and her off-pitch earnings are likely well into six figures annually - and increasing quickly, exceeding £1 million if she continues this trajectory. 'For comparison, Beckham's brand was valued in the hundreds of millions at its peak, and in today's influencer economy, athletes can fast-track to similar fame.' However the expert did acknowledge the gender pay gap in football, meaning she might be paid less on the field - but could rack up her earnings off the pitch with brand deals. She added: 'What's different from Beckham, is the speed and scale. Lehmann has been able to use social media to attract a global audience beyond football fans, and build an online empire away from the pitch. 'She's smart, and if brands are too, they'll recognise she's not just a face of women's football, but an icon in the making.' But it's not just her football or photoshoots making headlines - her love life has also kept fans glued. The beauty previously dated Swiss teammate Ramona Bachmann, making them one of football's most talked-about power couples. After spells at the prestigious football clubs, the forward found fame not just for her skills on the ball, but her striking appearance and confident social media presence Their relationship was documented in BBC Three show Britain's Youngest Football Boss. They first met in 2018 when Lehmann played for West Ham and Bachmann was at Chelsea. Three years later, they began dating. Lehmann told Marca: 'It's 2025. I think everyone can date whoever they want and be with whoever they want. 'It's important to open your mind and stop seeing this as a problem and instead see it as progress. 'Be who you are and who you want to be. Love is love. It's simple.' The relationship only ended up lasting a year but Lehmann was then linked to Brazilian ace Douglas Luiz shortly after the split. The Swiss star first began seeing him back in 2021 before a break-up - however, the romance looks to have been rekindled at the start of 2024. Since then, the couple had enjoyed a close relationship and both sealed a move to Italian giants Juventus during the summer window last year. Luiz joined from Aston Villa for £42.4 million having emerged as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. Lehmann followed suit just seven days later, also moving from Villa. Juventus reportedly paid £60 million for the pair and Lehmann revealed it was a joint decision. It was the first 'couples transfer' of its kind. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Lehmann and Luiz split some time ago and the pair are seen having different futures with Juventus. Despite her lack of game time, Lehmann is expected to remain at the club, with the Swiss international contracted to the club until 2027. Much like Beckham redefined what it meant to be a footballer in the early 2000s, Lehmann is also expanding the scope of her role far beyond the field. She has received widespread praise online and is often a target for autograph or selfie-hunting fans at games who are keen to meet the players. As a result, home nation Switzerland have revealed that Lehmann has been given added protection as the tournament reaches the knockout stages and interest is ramped up even higher. 'We always ensure that the safety of the players is our top priority in all stadiums,' Sven Micosse, press spokesperson for the Swiss women's national team, told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. 'This is organized by UEFA during the tournament, and our head of security is always on site. 'After the matches, he is always there when the players approach the fans, and due to Alisha Lehmann's fame, he sometimes accompanies them a little further.' Lehmann has been giving her followers a behind-the-scenes look into life at the Euros away from the pitch, as she embarks on sight-seeing trips and days off with her team-mates. This week, she shared a snap alongside two fellow Switzerland players, donning a crop top, cap, sunglasses and three-quarter length trousers, giving her followers an insight of what the players are up to when not on the pitch. Bild have reported that a 'man in a suit' often appears near Lehmann, focusing on her safety as the head of security at the Swiss national team. He is said to make sure she is safe as fans shout and hunt for photos and autographs after training and at games.
