With A-listers like Alicia Keys, Jessica Lange, and Sarah Paulson in attendance at this 12 months’s ceremony, there was hardly a boring second on the Tony’s purple carpet.

So, seize your opera glasses and prepare to channel your interior critic as we run down a few of the worst-dressed celebs on the Tony Awards’ carpet.
Julianne Hough’s jellyfish robe wanted some fine-tuning
On paper, we love the thought of Julianne Hough’s flouncy pink gown. Maybe paying tribute to the jellyfish style development, the star’s whimsical, strapless ‘match featured layers upon layers of wispy ruffles and pastel dreaminess. Our fundamental qualm was with the shapeless tailoring of the design. Although the cascading frills appeared beautiful gliding alongside the Tony Awards’ carpet, slightly construction alongside the bodice would have dramatically improved Hough’s general look.

Alicia Keys’ crimson look did not seize our hearts
Regardless of if she’s carrying a full beat or going makeup-free, Alicia Keys at all times appears distinctive, however one thing felt off in regards to the star’s red-carpet ensemble on the Tony Awards. From the refined gradient of her floor-skimming robe to her barely there belt, we weren’t fully taken with the “Hell’s Kitchen” musician’s oxblood robe. Some glittering assertion earrings or a daring choker necklace would have gone a good distance so as to add slightly additional visible curiosity to Keys’ look.

Brooke Shields’ bright-yellow sleeveless robe had some textural disconnect
Brooke Shields is a legend within the style trade, however we’ve to confess we felt slightly let down by her outfit at this 12 months’s Tonys. Regardless of the placing hue of her yellow, sleeveless gown, the wonder’s sunny look left one thing to be desired by way of its texture. We liked the gleaming, tiny sequins and ribbon detailing up prime, however weren’t precisely bought on the rumpled skirt of Protect’s gown.

Ingrid Michaelson’s baby-blue robe bored us to tears
There’s loads to like about Ingrid Michaelson’s romantic, baby-blue frock — the truth is, it is even color-coordinated to the Tonys carpet. Nonetheless, its repetitive floral sample was a little bit of a snooze-fest alongside her informal side-braid coiffure. With the proper equipment, like sapphire jewels or an attention-grabbing hairband, we’re certain Michaelson might have knocked it out of the park on the 77th Annual Tony Awards.

Erika Woods’ floral styling was a contact too matchy-matchy
Actor Erika Woods and husband Assaf Kedem have been all smiles on the Tony Awards’ carpet, however we had just a few points with Woods’ take a look at the occasion. Although we liked how properly the design paired together with her companion’s tux, we weren’t fairly as keen on the virtually all-red equipment worn to enhance her skirt’s floral print. A bit of variation would have given the ultimate look a much-needed enhance, however we’ll give Woods additional factors for the Carrie Bradshaw-inspired blossom.

Rachel McAdams performed it secure with an asymmetrical LBD
Some stars lose factors for his or her weird styling selections at awards exhibits, whereas others fall sufferer to taking part in it secure. Within the latter class at this 12 months’s Tony Awards was Rachel McAdams. The theatre veteran’s black robe was undeniably stylish, but it surely wasn’t probably the most memorable garment of the night — or in any respect, for that matter. Except for its underwhelming qualities, we did not dig the hardly there satin trim alongside the robe’s asymmetrical neckline.

Nicole Scherzinger’s scarlet quantity served up lampshade vibes
Nicole Scherzinger appeared lovely as ever strolling the carpet of this 12 months’s Tony Awards, however her gown’ design was one other story altogether. Between the big bubble hem, semi-sheer paneling, and rosette gildings, there was far an excessive amount of occurring directly in the singer’s satiny robe. We loved elements of the star’s look — just like the draped neckline and ultra-glam make-up — however finally, the weird particulars of Scherzinger’s gown earned her a spot on our worst-dressed listing.

Shoshana Bean’s shimmering separates did not fairly gel for us
Considering outdoors of the field, triple menace singer, songwriter, and actor Shoshana Bean arrived on the Tony Awards in a smooth, silver-and-white ensemble. It was a dangerous selection, however we will not say that it paid off for the brunette magnificence. Between the awkward size of her skirt’s prepare and the boxiness of her satin prime, the poorly fitted items reminded us of the slim pickings on a retailer’s clearance rack.

Alana Lintao’s lemon-yellow ‘match wasn’t our favourite of the night
Alana Lintao was one more celeb who selected lemon yellow for her gown design. Whereas the colour selection was a particular win in our e-book, the high-low lower of Lintao’s robe felt barely extra acceptable for promenade than the Tony Awards’ carpet. Maybe some edgier footwear or equipment would have labored in her favor, however the star’s trailing curls, clutch, and silver heels solely solidified our evaluation.

Kelli O’Hara’s bubbly hot-pink look fell flat
Pink is unquestionably Kelli O’Hara’s coloration, which is why it pains us so as to add the celebrated star to our Tony Awards worst-dressed listing. Although we adored the candy particulars, from her earrings to her brooch, we weren’t smitten with the twin nature of O’Hara’s skirt. Double the hemline would not at all times equal double the enjoyable, and the mix of a bubble peplum mini and trailing, floor-length hem was puzzling, to say the least. Nonetheless, O’Hara’s offense on the Tonys paled compared to different worst-dressed celebs we have seen these days, like on the 2024 Met Gala.
