With the red carpet awards in full swing, it may pay dividends for Hollywood’s starlets to choose their outfit from the list of the luckiest designers to wear to an awards ceremony.
With the Golden Globes a few weekends ago and the Critics Choice Awards this past weekend and the Oscars taking place on March 11, fashion site Jovani has examined the dresses that have been worn by the winners of the most awards.
Italian designer Armani came top of the list followed by Valentino and Prada, Versace and Gucci. So while Margot Robbie doesn’t seem to have any issues winning awards, she may want to cast her eye at all the Italian designers.
