Hollywood glamour arrived in Skopje, thanks to the second Oscar Gala evening, which took place on Saturday at the Macedonian National Theater in Skopje. At the concert, our famous singers dressed in luxurious, spectacular creations by ELENA LUKA performed compositions that have entered film history and were nominated and awarded an Oscar.

For the significant contribution to the realization of this spectacular night and the unique designs inspired by Hollywood glamour, which brought additional shine to the stage, the renowned brand ELENA LUKA received special recognition for creative contribution and support.
"This is the second year that we have participated in this impressive, prestigious event. From the very beginning, we have been together with the organizers and with Milanka Rašić as the author and organizer of this masterful project. Indeed, there has never been an event like this in the country before, a true masterpiece, where the artists not only shone with their vocal abilities, but also in the festive creations of ELENA LUKA. The honor of being part of this event was enormous. We thank the organizers for recognizing our love for art and dedication to our brand. The trust they gave us is great, the artists who wore our creations tonight truly gained a new dimension on stage. All of that, rounded off by excellent vocal interpretations, was real magic. I am so happy to have received recognition that I did not expect, I believe that tonight I am the absolute winner and champion. ELENA LUKA continues on, creating and collaborating with these wonderful artists, who are our close friends and whose talents we sincerely respect." - said Elena Pandeva, owner and general manager of ELENA LUKA.
Milanka Rašić, commentator on the Oscar show and author of the film show "In the Frame" on MTV, led the audience through the Oscar stories, dressed in a luxurious, glamorous pale blue creation by ELENA LUKA.
"Just a few minutes after the end of the second Oscar Gala, I am overwhelmed with different emotions. I am so happy that the audience enjoyed the second concert dedicated to the Oscar songs. We had top singers, top musicians, beautiful dancers and a ballet couple, all that glamorous experience reached the audience, and the proof of that is the ovations and applause. The Oscar show-flash is especially magical, that evening when all the stars are in one place is unrepeatable. But the film magic is even stronger with the film music. I think that we brought some of the most beautiful and vivid choruses to the stage of the MNT at the second Oscar Gala evening. The first reactions of the audience show that they were overjoyed, and that gives me the motivation to create an even more beautiful third Oscar evening. The support from the ELENA LUKA fashion house really means a lot to our event. It complements the glamour and our vision for a luxurious, music-film evening. I felt like a princess, this pale blue color is my favorite, and the beautiful creation gave me additional confidence on stage. I sincerely thank you for the beautiful cooperation that began with the first gala, continued now and I hope it will continue in the future. "- says Milanka Rašić, who is the producer, screenwriter and host of the event.
Famous vocal performers Nade Talevska, Ana Petanovska, Svetlana Jovanovska and Jasna Dimitrovska conquered the stage dressed in glamorous creations by ELENA LUKA specially chosen to reflect their authenticity and character, which helped them in the realization of their impressive vocal performance. Through their interpretation, the audience had the opportunity to enjoy some of the biggest Oscar hits such as: Golden eye, I don't won a miss a thing, A whole new world, Time of my life…
"It is always an honor and pleasure for me to collaborate with ELENA LUKA, because it is a fantastic brand that always brings the authenticity of each artist to perfection. It is very important for an artist to appear in their element, and ELENA LUKA always prepares us with open arms. This is a special experience – truly perfect. The feeling in the creations is like being a real 'diva on the red carpet'," said Ana Petanovska.
"The two creations I wore tonight are perfect. As soon as I saw them on the hanger, I fell in love with both of them. But that's not a surprise, I've never had a different feeling when I enter ELENA LUKA's atelier. We've been collaborating for years, and I've always had a professional and wonderful experience. The feeling on stage when I go out in their creation is absolutely magical. This outfit is not just fashion, it helps in the performance, in the interpretation. You know you'll look like a princess, like a queen," said Nade Talevska.
"This is the first time I'm wearing an ELENA LUKA creation, and I'm overjoyed with the entire treatment I received in the studio. The attention paid to character, energy and stage performance is incredible, as if the artist's thoughts are being read. When they suggested this creation to me, I immediately agreed - it was love at first sight. While I was performing the songs tonight, I felt wonderful on stage," emphasized Svetlana Jovanovska.
""Glamour brings me a special emotion on stage, I really feel like an Oscar winner. Wearing this dress, the feeling is wonderful, comfortable and unforgettable," said Jasna Dimitrovska.
The impressive musical performance of timeless Oscar-winning hits brought the magic of film music to life and transformed it into an unforgettable stage experience. With superb vocal interpretations, emotional depth and a symbiosis between music and glamorous stage performance, the performers delighted the audience, who responded with standing ovations and applause.
In the absence of such events, where the magic of film, art and fashion are celebrated, it seems that Skopje will eagerly await the third Oscar Gala night.
