Hollywood may be in its off-season, but Broadway just had its biggest fashion moment yet. At the 78th Annual Tony Awards, held at the iconic Radio City Music Hall in New York City, theatre royalty turned up in full force—braving rain, rhinestones, and rich drama in every thread.
This year’s event wasn’t just about accolades—it was a red carpet renaissance, blending old-school theatricality with haute couture drama. With Broadway enjoying its highest-grossing season ever ($1.89 billion in revenue, 14.7 million attendees), all eyes were on the stars who brought box-office brilliance to the stage.
Here are 13 fashion moments that lit up the 2025 Tony Awards red carpet:
1. Cynthia Erivo in Schiaparelli
No longer cloaked in Elphaba green, Cynthia Erivo shimmered in a champagne-toned couture gown from Schiaparelli Spring 2025. The dramatically off-shoulder bodice seemed to float midair, embroidered with surreal, celestial motifs. Her nails? Still wicked—florally adorned by Shea Osei.
2. Cynthia Erivo (Again!) in Ashi Studio & GapStudio
Erivo later hosted in an embroidered kimono by Ashi Studio, before performing in a ruby-red crystal gown by the surprising star of the night—GapStudio, the Gap’s new couture division.
3. Sarah Snook in Loewe
The Succession star made her Tony debut in a sleek, ivory sculptural gown by Loewe, paired with vintage opera gloves and a soft marcel wave. Old Hollywood meets New Broadway.
4. George Clooney in Zegna
Effortlessly suave, Clooney wore a textured midnight tuxedo by Zegna, with a deep satin lapel and no tie—a masterclass in laid-back elegance.
5. Jonathan Groff in Louis Vuitton
Best Actor nominee Groff stood out in a cream velvet suit with tonal embroidery—Louis Vuitton’s subtle nod to Broadway’s flair without going over the top.
6. Jodie Comer in Alexander McQueen
The Killing Eve alum turned stage powerhouse arrived in a metallic pleated gown with a sharply structured bustier—vintage McQueen drama at its best.
7. Audra McDonald in Gaurav Gupta
Bringing Indian couture to the Tony red carpet, McDonald stunned in a sculpted silver Gaurav Gupta gown that felt like a wearable opera aria.
8. Ben Platt in Thom Browne
Thom Browne’s signature short-hemmed suit got a Broadway remix with hand-embroidered lyric motifs and chunky-soled brogues.
9. Reneé Rapp in Christopher Esber
Rapp brought Y2K sultriness to the red carpet in a cut-out satin column gown—elegant, sleek, and barely held together in all the right ways.
10. Colman Domingo in Rick Owens
The Rustin star owned his avant-garde side in a draped Rick Owens look complete with platform boots and an asymmetric cape—drama, darling.
11. Rachel Brosnahan in Sabyasachi
Making headlines for her choice of Indian designer Sabyasachi, Brosnahan wore a hand-beaded sari-inspired gown, a nod to global luxury fused with theatrical grace.
12. Michaela Jaé Rodriguez in Iris van Herpen
Rodriguez floated down the carpet in a futuristic, feather-light creation by Iris van Herpen, marrying stage presence with high-tech couture.
13. Lin-Manuel Miranda in Custom Nike x Armani
Leave it to Miranda to bring streetwear to the stage—his Armani tuxedo featured subtle techwear detailing and was paired with custom Nike sneakers embroidered with Hamilton quotes.
🎭 Fashion’s Final Bow
From Schiaparelli surrealism to Gap’s unexpected couture debut, the 2025 Tony Awards reminded us that Broadway isn’t just stealing the show—it’s owning the carpet. With Indian designers like Sabyasachi and Gaurav Gupta making their mark alongside Parisian and American powerhouses, the red carpet reflected a truly global fashion moment.
