September is the time when the holiday season at sea resorts is drawing to a close and the number of tourists is noticeably decreasing. But not in Sochi, and this enduring interest is associated with a string of large-scale events. No sooner had the fans' whistles blown over the football stands after the "Confederations Cup", as the roar of the fireballs can already be heard - "Formula 1" is taking place in the city. Between sporting events Sochi amicably opens its doors to musical events. And one of the most notable in this entertainment program is "New Wave". Today the competition was officially launched - music over the Black Sea coast will sound from today for a whole week.
And although the "New Wave" now considers Sochi as its home, the geography of the competition this year has changed somewhat: from the echoing resort capital, the event moved closer to the mountain landscapes - to the spacious "Olympic Park". It is here, not far from the Fisht stadium, where Russian figure skaters once won their gold medals, the Sochi park filled with crazy attractions, and the railway station, where the stars, members of their teams and their equipment were carefully delivered by the Russian Railways, this year erected the New Wave Hall.
The change of scenery did not change the rules of the "game", every day the artists and contestants have a strict routine: during the day - rehearsals, in a more relaxed atmosphere and comfortable outfits, they check the technique and warm up the ligaments, and in the evening - already in full dress and following the sensitive instructions of the show hosts , one by one go on stage and charge the audience with a festive mood. Today, a whole squad of stars was responsible for creating a special atmosphere.
The main characters of the opening day were Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, Polina Gagarina, Irina Dubtsova, Nikolay Baskov, Diana Arbenina, Yulianna Karaulova and other artists. Philip Kirkorov took the stage twice. However, his main triumph on the "New Wave" is ahead - on September 13, a big concert with the participation of stars will take place, timed to coincide with Kirkorov's anniversary.
That this year there will be a gala concert in my honor, I learned at the closing of the "New Wave 2016". Since then, I have continuously wondered how everything will go. We began to prepare with the artists, to discuss. I will lead this evening myself, while I have not heard a single song prepared by other musicians. My colleagues immediately grabbed my main hits, and it so happened that I had nothing left. But I'll go up on stage and sing new songs. Thus, I will mark the beginning of a new "five-year" in my career,
Philip intrigued, inviting the audience to his tribute concert.
And if ahead of the "New Wave" evenings are entirely thematic - be it Kirkorov's anniversary concert or "Film Day", which will take place tomorrow, then the show in honor of the opening traditionally turned out to be a great musical skit. Each artist performed a song that became his biggest hit this year. Dima Bilan made the whole audience dance to the incendiary "Hold", Jasmine tuned in to a romantic wave, performing "You are my happiness", the Estradarada group came out with a song, the words of which the whole country had memorized - "Vitya needs to go out." A particularly bright moment was Olga Buzova's solo performance - Olga's performance did not end with the song "To the Sound of Kisses", and she talked with the audience for a long time, and after that she unambiguously flirted with Andrey Malakhov, the host of the evening. By the way, for Malakhov the return to New Wave was a special event - he did not run the competition for 15 years and returned to the New Wave stage only after switching from Channel One to Russia 1.
I am returning to my own family. And it's very nice, believe me,
Malakhov told reporters before the concert.
The show of the American LP singer, Laura Pergolizzi, the guest star of the competition, became a bright end to the evening. Modest and fragile, almost invisible in the crowd, behind the scenes she posed for photographers with an embarrassed smile, as if she was the simplest guest of the evening, and not a special phenomenon in the musical world. And, going on stage, she rocked the hall with hits Other people and Lost on you - so that the whole crowd of thousands sang along with her. It's only the beginning!
Olga Buzova met behind the scenes with LP and admitted that she was her fan. Did LP reciprocate her, history is silent

»In Sochi again gathered on one stage the entire elite of show business. Celebrities show off their backgammon, and flaunt on the red carpet in beautiful, and sometimes not so, clothes, the site reports.
The stars showed off on the red carpet of the New Wave 2017 music festival. What images have been chosen by celebrities, see our selection.
Olga Buzova
Singer and presenter Olga Buzova put on a rather modest outfit for her. The girl chose a pantsuit and open stiletto sandals.
However, her next look was more extravagant - she put on a sequin-scale dress, plastic ankle boots and tights in a large mesh.
Polina Gagarina
The famous singer Polina Gagarina has always been distinguished by excellent taste and sense of style in clothes. So this time, the star wore a laconic white dress with a deep neckline.
Alsou
Singer Alsou wore light wide-leg trousers, a top and a jacket with ostrich feathers.
However, the very next day, the artist chose a bright range, appearing in public in a pink jumpsuit, stiletto sandals and stylish styling.
Natasha Koroleva
Natasha Koroleva is true to her style. The singer wore a short dress with rhinestones and tinsel, fishnet tights and hoof sandals.
Irina Dubtsova
Singer Irina Dubtsova decided to put on latex. I wonder if she's not hot?
Jasmine
Singer Jasmine chose a too colorful outfit that fans did not appreciate. It even seems that Jasmine was picking up an image for herself by looking into her grandmother's closet.
Lera Kudryavtseva
TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva chose a long skirt, top and jacket for her public appearance.
Lolita
Singer Lolita surprised the audience again by wearing a tight-fitting dress "like a mermaid" at the festival.
Irina Allegrova
Singer Irina Allegrova has not changed at all. She delighted her fans with her signature styling and colorful outfit.
And the king of the pop scene became famous as the king of the most sophisticated outfits. In terms of outfits, he was followed by his daughter Alla-Victoria.
Recently, the annual New Wave music competition has started in Sochi. This event is an opportunity for aspiring singers to show themselves and pave the way to a stellar career. Many of today's representatives of the jury, such as Philip Kirkorov, Alsu, Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev and others, themselves began on the stage of this competition, which was previously held in Jurmala.
The "New Wave" program consists of six days and ends with an award ceremony and a final gala concert of pop stars. This year, 15 performers from 10 different countries were selected to participate in the competition based on the results of the semifinals.
Alla Pugacheva remains the unchanging muse and patroness of the musical competition. Every year, within the framework of the competition, she awards the best performer in her opinion with a separate prize "Alla's Golden Star".
This year, the pop stars have delighted. They competed with each other not only in creativity, but also in the beauty and extravagance of outfits. The editors of "AWESOME" have made for you a selection of the best and worst images presented by celebrities. Let's start with a pleasant and fun ...
Alsou
The singer is pleasing to the eye. Looks elegant in everything. 
Anna Kalashnikova
Her curtain dress is perfection.
Jasmine
What can I say, dear. But it resembles a little from the bottom of my heart the dress presented by my grandmother.
And on the second day she turned into a real lady. 
Arman Davletyarov, Sergey Lazarev, Dmitry Bilan, Anton Belyaev
In the case of these men, there is nothing to complain about.
Philip Kirkorov
But he seems to have confused a solid music competition with a Mexican party. 
Polina Gagarina
This lady is a real style icon. 
Now, as the filmmakers would say, let's move on to the movie bloopers. And in our case - to amazing experiments with fashion.
Olga Buzova
First, the former participant of "House-2" dressed in a rather modest trouser overalls. But then she radically changed her image and appeared in a multi-colored sequin-scale dress. In such a colorful form, she attracted the attention of Phillip Kirkorov. 
Natasha Koroleva
Natasha looked like in the 90s. Rhinestones, tinsel, fishnet tights. But the makeup and hairstyle did not fail. 
Diana Arbenina 
A hoarse voice, masculine style in shirts, short hairstyles, strong lyrics written by the soloist of "Night Snipers" - it's all about Diana Arbenina. After putting on a dress and putting on her makeup, she didn't change much. Tattoos and a hedgehog on the head betrayed brutality.
Irina Dubtsova
The performer of the once popular and romantic composition "About Him" changed her image of a gentle girl. She appeared all in black and latex. 
Ekaterina Barnabas
The participant and choreographer of the show "Comedy Woman" probably decided to joke - she put on a vest. Although, Sochi is a sea city. But Irina Dubtsova, standing next to her, changed her mind and on the other day of the competition turned into a real Hollywood diva. Let's agree that she's better off this way. 
Teona Kontridze
For her beautiful voice, she can be forgiven for an outfit that is more appropriate for the New Year holidays.
Irina Alegrova
Reminds of a crazy empress, about whom she has been singing for twenty years. It is not for nothing that they say that the actors get along with the image of the hero they play, and become one with him.
Lera Kudryavtseva
Too clever with the hair, definitely.
Lolita
Mermaid-Lolita for some reason was sad. And everyone is so used to her unbridled fun and seditious jokes.
The stars, who chose restraint, brevity, and clear lines in their clothes, looked like this.
Yana Rudkovskaya, producer of Dima Bilan 
Angelica Varum and Igor Krutoy 
Alexey Vorobyov and Lipa
Yes, stars are people too, they don't have to be perfect imitators of fashion and connoisseurs of the laws of style. But we are equal to them, in everything. We imitate not only their voice, demeanor, but also their dressing habits. Therefore, it would be very good if they always set only a positive example.
On the other hand, for their huge talent, charisma and powerful energy, which they willingly share with the audience at concerts, they can be forgiven for minor imperfections. After all, celebrities also have the right to live and dress the way they like.

Two days later, on September 8, the next season of the "New Wave" will begin in Sochi. The festival (and also a competition for young performers) will be held for the 16th time. From 2002 to 2014, it was held in the Latvian city of Jurmala, and the Dzintari stage was an invariable concert venue.
In 2015, the festival moved to another sea city - Sochi, but this did not in the least damage its main function. "New Wave" from year to year becomes one of the main events not only in the musical, but also in the secular life of Russia. Everyone comes: singers, singers, actors, actresses, showmen, producers. And, of course, they demonstrate a wide variety of outfits on the red carpet. Today we decided to remember the heroes of the "New Wave", who surprised us a lot with their outfits!
Polina Gagarina in a short shiny dress in 2016
The today's rating is opened by the loud-voiced Polina Gagarina and her short shiny dress, which she showed at the opening ceremony. It completely falls out of our understanding of what outfits Polina most often chooses. Usually, the singer adheres to a feminine and elegant style: skirts and A-line dresses, a minimum of glitter, laconic decor. And we are used to seeing this kind of outfit rather on Bella Hadid or Kendall Jenner (the latter, by the way, not so long ago, was in something very similar).
Nikolay Baskov in a Pikachu costume in 2016
Last year's obsession with the game "Pokemon" did not pass by Nikolai Baskov. "Natural blonde", however, went further and completely reincarnated the famous yellow Pokemon. The look included pants, a sweater, yellow trainers, and a Catch Me T-shirt. "However, what's so surprising?" - you ask. Surprisingly, the singer, who is accustomed to showing an abundance of sparkle on his costumes, found himself completely in yellow plush, on which not a single rhinestone was sewn.
Katie Topuria in a long white dress in 2016
I was also surprised by Katie Topuria, who often chooses futuristic outfits for her outings on the red carpet and as stage costumes. Last year, the soloist of the "A" Studio group appeared in the simplest long white dress (although her headdress shines with its decor). As for the outfit itself, then you have neither slits, cuts, nor a complex silhouette, nor even an unusual decor. Simple, Long, White, Dress.
Lera Kudryavtseva in a straight dress in 2016
As for straight dresses, we certainly didn't expect to see this on Lera Kudryavtseva. The TV presenter chooses fluffy princess dresses for both red carpet and stage performances, which usually contain crinoline underneath for added volume. True, in the matter of decor, she remained true to herself and could not refuse to shine: this dress of Lera shone almost brighter than the spotlights.
Sergey Lazarev in a black leather set in 2013
The former lover of Kudryavtseva Sergey Lazarev, dressed in a black leather kit, also surprised with his day trip to Sochi. To see such a person, probably, on Nikolai Baskov or, say, Valerie Leontyev is an ordinary sight; to see on Sergei is extraordinary.
Kristina Orbakaite in short shorts, boots and fishnet tights in 2016
Kristina Orbakaite also saved a daring look for the "New Wave": the singer and mother of many children chose a top with a long train, short shorts with embroidery on the pockets, black boots and fishnet tights. In everyday life (and for other events), Christina usually chooses images, the degree of sexuality of which is not so high.
Lyubov Uspenskaya in a transparent dress in 2016
Lyubov Uspenskaya also surprised a lot with her performance outfit: the popular singer decided to choose a transparent dress (under which, however, you can see a beige lining, but this does not change the general situation). Surprised in a good way: the artist has a wonderful figure, she looks great, and this dress only emphasizes the blooming appearance of one of the main stars of the national chanson.
Angelica Varum and her image in the style of the 80s in 2016
The popular singer of the 90s decided to remember her own childhood (and at the same time to play ahead and try on the hotly popular trend before the rest) and put on a set in the style of the 80s. Gold-colored trousers with a high waist are responsible for the spirit of the era, although in general the image with a top with dropped shoulders and an extravagant hat looks very organic.
Philip Kirkorov in a blue blazer and white pants in 2016
Well, how could we do without the king of the national pop scene, Philip Kirkorov? We answer: no way. True, the amateur surprised us not by the number of feathers on the jacket and not by the high cost of the image, but, on the contrary, by its brevity and modest elegance. True, the devil is still in the details: pay attention to the color of Kirkorov's slip-ons. What to do - the king must remain the king, even if it only concerns the color of the shoes.
The annual international competition of young performers of popular music "New Wave" this year, as in the past, gathered participants, stars and all guests of the event in the glorious city of Sochi for the 16th time. Of course, Russian stars could not miss such a high-profile event and arrived in Sochi in the best, in their opinion, outfits. Yes, the dresses and costumes of some of the celebrities were stunning, but not without failures.
Olga Buzova
For the opening ceremony of the festival, Olga Buzova chose a rather modest outfit for herself - a trouser overalls and open stiletto sandals. True, the star quickly changed her mind, changed into an insane sequin-scale dress, plastic ankle boots and tights in a large mesh. Then she climbed on her knees to Philip Kirkorov - and she was like that. Well, someone who, and Olga Buzova knows how to attract attention!
Polina Gagarina
For the opening ceremony of the New Wave, the singer chose a laconic white dress with a deep neckline, which perfectly emphasized the slender figure of the star. Polina complemented the elegant look with styling in the style of old Hollywood and makeup with an emphasis on the eyes.
Careless styling, a minimum of makeup, an elegant dress - at the closing ceremony, Polina Gagarina was impeccable. However, as always.
Alsou
For the opening ceremony of the "New Wave" Alsou chose a rather "relaxed" outfit: light wide-leg trousers, a top and a jacket with ostrich feathers. Nude makeup and casual styling complemented the star's delicate look.
During the festival, Alsou changed a lot of images. And everyone was lovely. A white dress to the floor with a voluminous flounce is just a bomb! But there is something wrong with the pink suit. What do you think?
Natasha Koroleva
Chic, brilliance, beauty - Natasha Koroleva is true to herself! A short dress in rhinestones and tinsel, fishnet tights and hooves from the 90s. But the make-up and hairstyle are on top - a solid top five for the stylist!
Irina Dubtsova
For the image of Irina Dubtsova, we have only one question: is she not hot in all this latex?
Jasmine
Before coming to the "New Wave", the singer Jasmine, it seems, stopped by her grandmother in the village. She got dressed there. And put on makeup. Neither a fashionable handbag nor a luxurious bezel can save you.
At the closing ceremony, the singer wore an oversized denim jumpsuit, which made Jasmine's figure "square". Why is there a leather cap in the spirit of BDSM and sandals with stiletto heels is also a question. Hopefully the stylist has been fired.
Diana Arbenina
We have not yet decided whether we like the new style of Diana Arbenina or not. On the one hand, the soloist of "Night Snipers" in a dress and with makeup is something new. On the other hand - brutal tattoos and rock 'n' roll boots - Arbenina is still true to herself. But something in this image is still wrong ...
Lera Kudryavtseva
Lera Kudryavtseva appeared on the red carpet of the "New Wave" in a long skirt, top and jacket. All is well, only with the hair the TV presenter seems to be too clever.
Lolita
But Lolita seems to be tired. Or sad. Or is she just hot in this tight mermaid dress?
Irina Allegrova
"And there is a crazy empress ..." It seems that over the past 20 years, Irina Allegrova has not changed at all. Signature styling, thick makeup, sexy outfit - keep it up!
A warm shade of blonde, a cascade haircut, a lot of black eyeliner on the eyes and, of course, the lip contour is a couple of tones darker than lipstick. Here they are, all the trends of the 90s in one bottle!
Vera Brezhneva
Vera Brezhneva is aware of all beauty threads! The singer is very happy with the pink blond, which is so relevant this season, and in combination with the red arrows, the image turned out to be both gentle and bright.
Lyubov Uspenskaya
Lyubov Uspenskaya knows how to attract attention to herself. For the closing ceremony, the queen of the chanson chose a translucent red lace dress - and she was right: the photographers lined up.
Svetlana Loboda
By the close of the New Wave, Svetlana Loboda grew ... a halo.
Masha Rasputina
Masha Rasputina has been faithful to her doll image for many years: a lot of makeup, a lot of curls, a lot of pebbles on her dress! Hello 90s!
Group "VIA Gra"
Mini-dresses of critical length, neckline, lots of sequins, fishnet tights and platform sandals - the girls from the VIA Gra group have once again confirmed the title of the main sex bombs of the domestic show business.
Valeria
Oh, it's not for nothing that Valeria “sweats” for hours in the gym! The figure of the singer is just a delight! And the black bustier jumpsuit perfectly emphasizes the luxurious body of the star.
Christina Orbakaite
Kristina Orbakaite appeared on the red carpet in an elegant dress with an impressive neckline. Hair styled in the manner of old Hollywood, makeup with an emphasis on the eyes - the singer looked gorgeous!
Keti Topuria
Keti Topuria is famous for her passion for extraordinary outfits. We are used to it, so this image hardly surprised us.
