Broadway’s biggest night returned with its signature sparkle as the 78th Annual Tony Awards took centre stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Celebrating the best in theatre, the annual event honours outstanding performances and productions, bringing together the brightest stars of stage and screen. From show-stopping musicals to powerful plays, this year’s ceremony was a testament to the enduring magic of live performance.
Highlights of the night included Maybe Happy Ending sweeping the Best Musical category and making Darren Criss the first Asian American to win Best Actor in a Musical, while Cole Escola became the first out nonbinary actor to win Best Lead Actor in a Play. Host Cynthia Erivo’s powerhouse opening number and the emotional Hamilton 10th‑anniversary reunion added to the evening’s celebratory atmosphere.
But before the curtains rose inside the theatre, all eyes were on the red carpet outside. This year’s fashion was more understated in tone but no less stylish, with sleek tailoring, classic glamour, and modern silhouettes setting the tone for the night. From Nicole Scherzinger’s sparkly red Rodarte dress to Sadie Sink’s ethereal Prada gown, these 18 best-dressed stars proved that Broadway’s finest don’t just command the stage – they own the red carpet too.
