Top 5 Best-Dressed Celebrities at the 2025 Tony Awards
A night of theater, talent—and unforgettable fashion.
The 78th Tony Awards brought together Broadway’s brightest stars, and while the performances and heartfelt speeches took center stage, the red carpet was a spectacle all its own. Hosted at New York’s legendary Radio City Music Hall, the event celebrated the past year in theater—and delivered a series of fashion moments that were bold, elegant, and impossible to ignore.
This year’s red carpet blended high fashion with theatrical flair, proving that Broadway glamour belongs on par with Hollywood’s biggest nights. With Cynthia Erivo as host—fresh from her role as Elphaba in the 2024 Wicked film—the evening was filled with memorable looks that matched the drama of the stage. From daring silhouettes to intricate couture details, here are the five celebrities who turned heads before the curtain even rose.
Cynthia Erivo made a stunning entrance in a champagne-toned, off-the-shoulder gown from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2025 couture collection. Flowing and intricately embroidered, the design gave her a luminous, ethereal glow. A soft nod to her Wicked past came through in her long, floral nails by Shea Osei. She continued to impress throughout the night with a series of outfit changes, including a lavish embroidered kimono by Ashi Studio and a dazzling ruby-red performance gown by GapStudio.
Sarah Paulson stepped onto the red carpet in a couture gown by Schiaparelli that perfectly blended structure and opulence. The black velvet bodice with a high neckline contrasted beautifully with a satin skirt decorated in ornate, baroque-inspired sequins. Keeping her accessories to a minimum, Paulson wore her hair slicked back and added a pair of delicate Buccellati earrings, letting the craftsmanship of her dress take center stage.
Nicole Scherzinger, making her Tony debut as a nominee for Sunset Blvd., turned up the heat in a custom red sequin Rodarte gown. The strapless design hugged her figure and sparkled with every movement. She completed the look with a bold red lip, sleek hair, and Kwiat diamond jewelry, combining Broadway drama with Hollywood allure in one unforgettable appearance.
Amal Clooney brought timeless sophistication in a pearl-draped white gown by Tamara Ralph Haute Couture. With its structured silhouette and subtle shimmer, the gown radiated elegance. George Clooney, nominated for Good Night, and Good Luck, kept things classic in a well-tailored tuxedo, but together, the couple embodied effortless red-carpet royalty.
Sadie Sink celebrated her first Tony nomination for John Proctor Is the Villain in a custom silver Prada slip gown. The design featured a plunging neckline and delicate bow accents, creating a balance of modern style and vintage charm. With her hair in a soft updo, a classic red lip, and Fred Leighton jewels, Sink’s look was both fresh and refined—marking a major fashion moment for one of Broadway’s rising stars.
From timeless elegance to bold statements, these five stars delivered red carpet looks that were as captivating as the performances they came to honor. The 2025 Tony Awards proved once again that when it comes to fashion, Broadway knows how to make an entrance.
