A night where fashion met theater in unforgettable ways.

The 78th Annual Tony Awards brought the magic of Broadway back to the forefront, and while the spotlight was on stage, the red carpet served up its own kind of show-stopping spectacle. Held at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City, the evening celebrated the best in theater—while also showcasing some of the most memorable fashion moments of the year.
From haute couture to bold personal statements, the red carpet captured the spirit of Broadway: dramatic, expressive, and unapologetically glamorous. With Cynthia Erivo leading the ceremony—fresh off her role as Elphaba in the 2024 film Wicked—the night was filled with high-style flair and theatrical elegance. These five stars set the tone with looks that stole the show even before the awards were handed out.

Cynthia Erivo glowed in a custom champagne gown by Schiaparelli from their Spring 2025 couture collection. The off-the-shoulder design floated effortlessly, adorned with detailed embroidery that created a dreamlike silhouette. She nodded to her Wicked roots with long floral-accented nails by Shea Osei, and later turned heads again in multiple outfit changes, including an embroidered Ashi Studio kimono and a sparkling ruby-red GapStudio performance gown.

Sarah Paulson brought a sculptural sophistication to the red carpet in a dramatic Schiaparelli haute couture creation. Featuring a fitted black velvet bodice and an ivory satin skirt embellished with baroque-style sequins, the gown balanced sharp structure with ornate detailing. With minimal accessories, a sleek hairstyle, and Buccellati earrings, Paulson let the striking design speak for itself.

Nicole Scherzinger, nominated for her role in Sunset Blvd., made an unforgettable debut at the Tonys in a red sequin gown by Rodarte. The strapless silhouette shimmered under the lights, offering a glamorous nod to old Hollywood. Paired with a bold red lip, diamond jewelry by Kwiat, and a polished hairstyle, her look exuded confidence and star power.

Amal Clooney brought refined glamour to the carpet in a white pearl-embellished gown by Tamara Ralph Haute Couture. The sculpted shape and subtle shimmer created an aura of modern elegance. Walking alongside George Clooney—nominated for Good Night, and Good Luck in a classic tuxedo—the two made a chic, coordinated entrance that turned heads.

Sadie Sink, celebrating her first Tony nomination for John Proctor Is the Villain, chose a silver slip gown by Prada that was equal parts youthful and sophisticated. The custom piece featured a plunging neckline and delicate bow accents. Her red lip, elegant updo, and vintage Fred Leighton jewels completed a look that felt timeless with a modern twist.
From statement sequins to couture masterpieces, these stars brought high fashion to Broadway’s most anticipated night—reminding everyone that the drama doesn’t end when the curtain closes.
