Understated is never the theme of the Tonys, especially not when Broadway was celebrating its return after two years of COVID shutdowns. So there were a lot of great looks last night and we’ll showcase some of them here, starting with Cynthia Erivo, my personal favourite. Because I’ve always had a thing for a red carpet hooded cloak. And this is one of the most spectacular award show hooded cloaks I’ve ever seen.
This is Giambattista Valli and it is so f-cking perfect on her I can’t handle it. The layers and layers of the gown, the cinched waist through the middle, the pleats across the bust, the way the gold accessories pop against the white…she is breathtaking in this outfit.
And has also given us an update because I was wondering, but it looks like she and Lena Waithe are just fine:
That’s Bernadette Peters beside them checking her phone, the woman has not aged in 40 years, I swear.
Staying with white, on the men’s side, Jeremy Pope in a loose-fitting Louis Vuitton suit with sneakers is exactly right. Bigger pants for men on the red carpet now, we’re seeing more of it.
在此注意，A Strange Loop’s lead, Jaquel Spivey, also served wide leg steeze in blue with wide lapels too so we’re getting different male fashion silhouettes instead of the same-same-same parade of cuts and that’s a kind of diversity worth being excited about too.
Another one of my top Tony looks – Ruth Negga in Armani Privé. The dress itself, I mean it’s pretty, no doubt, but on its own it’s not exactly a showstopper; on Ruth, though, it comes alive, a midnight dream, flirty and mysterious, especially with those beguiling eyes over her red lips, and THAT HAIR. I f-cking love this hair on her, it’s a thrilling hairstyle choice, one to be remembered for a long, long time.
Since we did two white looks in a row, let’s go with back-to-back black and this excellent Schiaparelli on Vanessa Hudgens who attended an award show without hosting it for a change. This is just straight up classic design – strapless, ruched, body-con, timeless. She’s wearing the sh-t out of it, and her style access over the last year or so has really leveled up. I don’t remember Vanessa Hudgens serving as much couture as she has been lately.
Finally…we’ll end on another black look on the legend, Patti LuPone, who won her third Tony Award last night for her work inCompany并花时间在舞台上度过了一段时间，感谢他们的研究局和使百老汇卷土重来的船员也向Covid安全团队大喊大叫。然后，她当然要感谢“付给我薪水的克里斯·哈珀”（Chris Harper），这是关于几周前她对听众大喊不正确的观众大喊大叫的情况。我确定您当时听说过，但值得重播，因为什么样的白痴试图打断并与Patti Lupone交谈？只要吃patti的sh-t并关闭F-CK？百老汇社区受到了两年的大流行而受到严厉打击，有很多人散发出大量的血液，汗水和眼泪，使表演带回，以使剧院恢复活力。帕蒂（Patti）在百老汇（Broadway）的地位，将对这一现实有着深刻的意识，显然对那些在幕后没有看不见和不愿透露姓名的人最尊重，他们的重要努力使百老汇家族恢复了。从不使用Patti的F-CK是一般的生命规则，但尤其是在此上。
