Data Analysis: The Luckiest Golden Globes Dress According to History
Ahead of the upcoming Golden Globes, VegasInsider has conducted an analysis of all the dresses worn by the actresses during the night they won a Golden Globe to find out what brands/designers and colors bring the most luck to the nominated actors, statistically speaking.
To be more specific, we've collected data about all the dresses worn by actresses who won a Golden Globe in one of the three film categories in the 21st century. Subsequently, we analyzed the data to find out which designers and colors turned out to be “the luckiest”.
ANALYSIS RESULTS
According to the results of the analysis spanning 20+ years and all the Golden Globe-winning actresses of the 21st century and their outfits 95.6% of actresses wore a dress during their Golden Globe victory night (65 in total), while 4.4% of actresses (3 in total) wore a different outfit - pantsuit, blazer or even PJs, famously worn by Jodie Foster during the covid-19 online ceremony in 2021.
COLORS ANALYSIS
Black turned out to be the “luckiest” color of an outfit worn by the actresses during their Golden Globes victory night - 32 outfits were black (35.6%).
