When style shared the spotlight with stagecraft.
The 78th Annual Tony Awards lit up New York’s Radio City Music Hall in grand fashion—literally. While the ceremony honored the most captivating performances and productions on Broadway, the red carpet offered its own spectacle. From elegant couture to bold statements, the stars embraced theatrical glamour with unforgettable style. Hosted by Cynthia Erivo, the night celebrated not just talent, but a fearless sense of fashion. These five standout looks turned heads and set a high bar for red carpet moments.
Cynthia Erivo: Golden Elegance with a Dramatic Twist
Cynthia Erivo set the tone for the evening in a dreamy champagne-toned gown from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2025 couture collection. The off-the-shoulder design, complete with intricate embroidery, gave an ethereal floating effect that was both romantic and modern. Her floral-accented nails by Shea Osei served as a clever homage to her Wicked past. Throughout the night, Erivo wowed in additional ensembles, including a richly detailed kimono from Ashi Studio and a striking ruby-red performance dress by GapStudio.
Sarah Paulson: A Regal Nod to the Avant-Garde
Known for her fashion risks, Sarah Paulson delivered drama in a two-tone creation by Schiaparelli. The black velvet bodice, cut high at the neckline, flowed into a buttery satin skirt adorned with baroque embroidery and sequins. Her sleek bun and delicate Buccellati earrings allowed the lavish gown to remain the focal point, perfectly capturing the balance between edge and elegance.
Nicole Scherzinger: Sequins and Star Power
Nicole Scherzinger marked her first Tony nomination with a dazzling debut, arriving in a custom Rodarte red sequin gown. The strapless silhouette channeled old-school Hollywood glamour while embracing the boldness of Broadway. She completed her show-stealing ensemble with Kwiat diamonds, a polished red lip, and smooth pulled-back hair that gave the shimmering gown the spotlight it deserved.
Amal Clooney: Grace Meets Glamour
Amal Clooney brought effortless sophistication in a pearl-embellished gown from Tamara Ralph Haute Couture. With its sculpted shape and refined shimmer, the white gown exuded poise and presence. On the arm of George Clooney—nominated for Good Night, and Good Luck—the pair epitomized red-carpet refinement, easily earning the title of the evening’s most stylish duo.
Sadie Sink: Chic and Confident in Silver
At just 23, Sadie Sink made a striking impression on her first Tony night. Nominated for her role in John Proctor Is the Villain, she stepped out in a custom Prada silver slip dress, featuring a plunging neckline and soft bow accents. A red lip, classic updo, and vintage Fred Leighton jewelry tied the look together, creating a refined yet youthful statement worthy of Broadway’s brightest new star.
