From shimmering gowns to bold couture, these celebrities turned theatre’s biggest night into a runway of unforgettable style.
The 78th Tony Awards brought together the best in theatre—and fashion was no afterthought. Held at the iconic Radio City Music Hall, this year’s ceremony was a celebration of performance and personal flair. The stars didn’t just step onto the red carpet—they owned it. Hosted by Cynthia Erivo, the night blended Broadway brilliance with couture-level glamour. Here are the five red carpet looks that lit up the evening and had everyone talking.
Cynthia Erivo: The Star of the Stage and the Carpet
Fresh from her role as Elphaba in the Wicked film, Cynthia Erivo made a powerful statement in a champagne-hued gown from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2025 couture collection. The off-the-shoulder design, with delicate embroidery and a fluid silhouette, looked almost ethereal. Her floral-inspired nails by Shea Osei nodded sweetly to her magical past. Erivo switched things up throughout the night—changing into an embroidered kimono by Ashi Studio and later dazzling in a crystal-studded ruby gown by GapStudio for her performance.
Sarah Paulson: Elegance, Reinvented
Sarah Paulson brought dramatic structure to the red carpet in a two-tone masterpiece by Schiaparelli. A tailored black velvet bodice flowed seamlessly into a sweeping satin skirt, detailed with baroque-style embellishments. With her hair pulled into a sleek bun and a minimal touch of Buccellati sparkle, Paulson let the gown do all the talking. It was modern glamour with an artistic edge—very on brand for the night’s co-presenter.
Nicole Scherzinger: A Debut That Sparkled
Nominated for her Broadway role in Sunset Blvd., Nicole Scherzinger arrived in full red carpet bombshell mode. Her custom strapless Rodarte gown, drenched in crimson sequins, shimmered with every step. Diamond pieces from Kwiat, a rich red lip, and her glossy, slicked-back hair completed the look. It was bold, it was confident, and it firmly established Scherzinger as one to watch on the Broadway style scene.
Amal Clooney: The Definition of Grace
Walking the carpet with husband and nominee George Clooney, Amal Clooney stunned in a white pearl-draped gown by Tamara Ralph Haute Couture. The sophisticated structure and soft embellishments gave the look a timeless quality. George played the classic counterpart in a sleek tuxedo, but all eyes were on Amal. Their coordinated elegance made them the ultimate red carpet power duo.
Sadie Sink: Sophistication with Sparkle
At just 23, Sadie Sink marked her first Tony nomination (John Proctor Is the Villain) with a fashion-forward take on red carpet chic. Her custom Prada silver slip gown, complete with a flattering neckline and dainty bow accents, glowed under the lights. She paired it with Fred Leighton vintage jewels, a soft updo, and a bold red lip. The result? A refined, youthful elegance that perfectly captured the spirit of a rising Broadway star.
