On their website the company states that it is interesting to see how style has changed over the years. “The early ceremonies were a far less extravagant occasion and fashion choices reflected that, while today’s events see luxurious flowing gowns from the world’s leading designers.”

According to The Daily Mail, the designer who has dressed the most winners is the Italian fashion house Armani with three, dressing Jessica Tandy in 1990, Jodie Foster in 1992 and Emma Thompson in 1993.
