5 Unforgettable Red Carpet Looks from the 2025 Tony Awards

Where theater met couture in spectacular style.

The 78th Tony Awards lit up New York’s Radio City Music Hall with more than just breathtaking performances and heartfelt tributes. This year, the red carpet became a stage in its own right, filled with standout fashion moments that celebrated individuality, elegance, and theatrical flair. With Cynthia Erivo hosting the night and the stars turning up in showstopping ensembles, Broadway reminded us that it can rival—and even outshine—Hollywood when it comes to high fashion. Here are five looks that defined the evening:

Cynthia Erivo: A Vision in Champagne

Returning to the spotlight as host, Cynthia Erivo traded her signature emerald looks from the Wicked press tour for a fresh, luminous aesthetic. She wore an ethereal champagne-hued gown from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2025 couture collection, featuring a romantic off-the-shoulder neckline and exquisite embroidery that gave the illusion of floating fabric. Long, floral-inspired nails by Shea Osei offered a subtle nod to her Elphaba roots. Erivo continued to dazzle throughout the evening with costume changes, including a regal embroidered kimono by Ashi Studio and a sparkling ruby gown by GapStudio for her performance.

Sarah Paulson: Baroque with a Twist

Sarah Paulson brought structured elegance to the red carpet in a two-toned Schiaparelli haute couture gown. The look combined a high-necked black velvet bodice with a sweeping satin skirt adorned with intricate baroque-style embroidery and sequins. Her minimalist styling—a slicked-back bun and delicate Buccellati earrings—let the gown take center stage, adding just the right balance of drama and restraint to her co-presenter appearance.

Nicole Scherzinger: All-Out Glamour

Making her Tony debut as a nominee for Sunset Blvd., Nicole Scherzinger stepped onto the carpet like a seasoned Broadway star. Her custom Rodarte gown, drenched in red sequins, hugged her silhouette with classic Hollywood flair. She finished the look with a deep red lip, a sleek hairstyle, and dazzling Kwiat diamonds, striking the perfect chord between red-carpet glamour and stage-ready presence.

Amal Clooney: Pure Sophistication

Amal Clooney made an elegant entrance in a pearl-draped gown by Tamara Ralph Haute Couture. The white sculptural silhouette blended modern structure with a soft shimmer, creating a timeless yet fresh statement. Walking alongside George Clooney—nominated for Good Night, and Good Luck in a classic black tuxedo—the Clooneys radiated effortless coordination and undeniable star power.

Sadie Sink: Youthful Radiance Meets Red-Carpet Grace

At just 23, Sadie Sink celebrated her first Tony nomination for John Proctor Is the Villain with a look that was both refined and fresh. She wore a custom silver Prada slip gown featuring a plunging neckline and subtle bow accents. Paired with a bold red lip, an elegant updo, and vintage Fred Leighton jewels, her look blended youthful energy with timeless style—cementing her place as one of the night’s breakout fashion stars.

From couture drama to modern minimalism, these stars brought their fashion A-game to the Tony Awards red carpet, proving once again that Broadway’s biggest night is also one of its most stylish.
