Miriana has already made headlines with her song, now called Serving, after she was forced to change it from its original title, Kant — which means 'singing' in Maltese but sounds awkwardly like a certain British four-letter word.
Now, Miriana has managed to drop even more jaws during her raunchy performance at Thursday's semi-final in the St. Jakobshalle arena in Basel, Switzerland.
The 24-year-old appeared on stage by emerging from a giant set of red lips which were propped up strategically in front a giant screen that showed a pair open legs.
As she sang, Miriana tore off her yellow, tulle dress to reveal a red, leopard print, corseted jumpsuit with a black mesh top and feathered sleeves.
The look was completed with a bedazzled silver thong on the outside of the jumpsuit.
The songstress and her scantily-dressed back-up dancers heated up the Eurovision stage with sensual moves and even opening their legs while Miriana straddled them.
One feature of her performance included the singer bouncing on a giant exercise ball, as she appeared to be having the time of her life while on stage.
Malta's performance lit up social media with people rushing to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts.
"Oh she was definitely serving," wrote one person.
"MIRINA CONTE JUST SERVED US A MASTERCLASS IN STAGE PRESENCE AND STYLE! OMG QUEEN BEHAVIOUR," added another.

"Ofcom complaints incoming," posted a third posted.
The raunchy performance did not seem to hinder Miriana's success as she sailed through to the final and will be one of 26 singers competing at Saturday's final.
Thanks to her amazing showing in the semi-final, Malta, has now raced to the be one of the favourites to raise the Eurovision trophy this year.
Until Thursday, Sweden had been the ongoing favourites with the song Bara Bada Bastu by KAJ, and still remain at the top of bookies' picks.

Peter Andre returns to social media with telling family snap after being slammed by ex Katie Price
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PETER Andre has returned to social media with a VERY telling family snap, after being slammed by Katie Price. It came not long after his ex-wife Katie, 47, publicly hit out at the dad of two of her children and branded him a "fake saint". 6 Peter Andre has shared a telling family snap after his bombshell statement Credit: Getty 6 It came after his ex-wife Katie took a swipe at his statement where he said 'this ends today' Credit: Getty 6 Pete and Katie were married from 2005 to 2009 Credit: Getty 6 Peter shared this sweet family holiday snap Credit: Instagram The battle of the exes hit it's peak this week when Peter, 52, posted a statement on behalf of his family saying, "this ends today". In retaliation, Katie then shared her own social media post last night, where she was clearly taking a swipe at the Mysterious Girl singer. Now, in his first post since he released his bombshell statement about the on-going feud with Katie, Peter shared a sweet family photo on his latest Instagram Story. In the picture, the singer along with wife Emily and the three kids they share together, could be see standing united. They had their backs to the camera, and they were seen walking along the beach holding hands, as a show of solidarity. Pete simply wrote "Cyprus" over the photo. PETER RELEASES STATEMENT Peter's return to social media came after he addressed the on-going feud between his family and Katie. Tension has been high between the pair, as Katie blames her ex for a rift between her and Princess, 52. Pricey claims she was "banned" by Peter from appearing in her daughter's reality show, The Princess Diaries. On Thursday, the dad-of-five released a statement about his ex-wife saying he'd "stayed silent" for 16 years since their split in 2009. Princess Andre breaks silence on Peter and Katie's bitter feud after his blistering statement Pete said he chose to speak out now after Katie claimed she was being frozen out of Princess' burgeoning TV career. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight," Pete wrote in the letter published on social media. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood." Pete concluded: "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months." 6 The former couple share Junior, 20, and Princess, 18 Credit: Shutterstock Editorial KATIE BITE'S BACK Katie then responded yesterday with her own statement. Although she didn't mention Peter by name in her post, it was clearly taking a swipe at her ex following their public fallout. She wrote: "Saints and Sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners. "I know I will always be seen as a Sinner. That's fair, I allowed myself to fall into a reliance on drugs and alcohol. At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. Peter Andre's statement in full Peter hit back after Katie's claims on her recent podcast that she was being frozen out of Princess's career - despite Princess living with her. Peter wrote on Instagram: "For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating. "That ends today. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. "In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before out of respect for my children." "In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. "The same falsehoods are being repeated today." "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months." His statement came just hours after Katie claimed that Princess was living with her on her latest podcast. She said: "I've missed out so much with Princess. I haven't watched the show, but, people have told me how proud I should be of the kids and how they Princess does talk highly of me all the way through it so although I'm not in the show she speaks about me all the time which is really sweet. "But why wouldn't she, because she lives with me. And this is another thing I need to clear up, the kids have never lived just with Pete, we've shared the kids." "I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner. I've self-medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love." The lengthy post continued and then, in a clear swipe at Pete, she wrote: "Some Saints are fake. They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don't get to be the Saint... Katie added: "As a Sinner - I sometimes get bored of these Saints." After meeting on I'm A Celebrity in 2004, Peter and Katie had a whirlwind romance which saw them wed the following year, but were divorced by 2009. The couple share kids Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, PRINCESS SPEAKS OUT It was not just the famous exes who were sharing their thoughts in public. Daughter Princess also spoke out about the rift between her parents. The teenager took to Snapchat for a candid Q&A with her followers yesterday, When one fan asked: 'Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don't get on?', Princess responded with a short video message. 'To be honest it doesn't affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don't even have any memory of them being together,' she said. Over the top of the clip, Princess wrote: 'I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters.'

It opens up with notes of pear, pink pepper and orange blossom before rounding out with a heart of coffee, jasmine, bitter almond and liquorice. The base is a grounding blend of vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood and cedar. It was crafted by four talented perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc. They've all worked on many highly favoured perfumes including Le Labo's Another 13, By the Fireplace by Maison Martin Margiela, the brand Akro and Phlur's Soft Spot respectively. Black Opium has pulled in an average rating of 4.8 out of 5. It's been dubbed a 'show stopper' with one happy reviewer saying: "The best in my shelf. And the perfect go to for a date night/dinner night with your partner. The smell is mesmerising. The waiter walked past and turned around to ask what I was wearing. So definitely a show stopper perfume. Love it. My best purchase yet on a perfume." One shopper insisted the bottle lasts a full year with daily use, writing: "I absolutely love this scent, it is my favourite perfume and is so worth the money. My last bottle lasted me over a year and that was using it every day, as you do not need to overspray." Not everyone agrees with how long it lasts, one shopper said: "Doesn't last that long on my skin, just a few hours before I need to reapply. Such a lovely smell though. Expensive considering longevity."
