Jessica Mauboy's Eurovision costume makes 'worst dressed' list
After scoring the lowest audience vote in the Eurovision final on May 12, Jessica Mauboy has been dealt another blow, being named the second-worst dressed at the Lisbon event.
Belgian website Songfestival slammed the 28-year-old's purple sequinned mini dress, naming her runner-up in the annual Barbara Dex Award.
Named after Belgium's 1993 Eurovision entrant, Barbara Dex, who was hugely criticised for her outfit, the "award" ranks each year's worst-dressed contestants.

"I honestly felt like I gave it my all and sang my heart out," she proudly told media after the finale.

With Netta Barzilai from Israel winning Eurovision 2018, Mauboy placed 20th out of 26 in the grand final and scored the lowest audience vote from the 42 countries involved.
John Kennedy O’Connor, who calls himself a "Eurovision historian," had some harsh words for our home-grown star.
Not one to let nasty criticism slide, the former Australian Idol contestant recently hit back at actor Ryan Reynolds, who suggested that Australia shouldn't be in Eurovision because we're "barely on the planet."
Now we're all waiting for her sassy comeback to the Belgian fashion police.
