The Barbara Dex Award is an annual fan award for the worst dressed artist in the Eurovision Song Contest. It is named after Barbara Dex, who represented Belgium in the 1993 contest, and is awarded by the fansite House of Eurovision.
This is Lithuania’s first time to win the award but like the previous three years the win was a landslide. Vilija Matačiūnaité got 311 votes for her leather/rubber outfit with blue accents.
A total of 1,101 valid votes were used this year and the website reported most votes were valid, with a few being discounted mainly because of multiple votes from the same person. Voting opened after the Grand Final.
