The Best Dressed Stars From the 2026 Tony Awards
This year's ceremony, hosted by Pink, saw Broadway's finest deliver classic evening glamour.
Reported by Vogue.
The 79th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall was exactly the kind of evening Broadway was built for — spectacle, craft, and people who know how to wear a look with intention. Pink hosted, the awards were handed out, the musical numbers landed, and the red carpet did what a Tony carpet always does: rewarded those who understood that this is not the place for minimalism.
According to Vogue, the standouts were the stars who committed fully to the drama of the moment. Maya Rudolph, fresh off her Oh, Mary! run, arrived in a bejeweled Chanel gown pulled directly from the label's fall 2026 collection — elegant, considered, quietly commanding. Her co-star Cole Escola took the opposite approach and won just as hard: a hot-pink satin power suit that read equal parts camp and conviction. The two posed together on the carpet, which, frankly, is the only logical conclusion to that kind of twinned energy.
The Looks That Actually Landed
Sarah Paulson turned up in a pink, white, and red Erdem dress punctuated by dramatic bow detailing at the shoulders — the kind of piece that photographs like a painting. Aubrey Plaza delivered a genuinely chic maternity moment in a bump-grazing Chanel dress that refused to be anything other than polished. On the men's side, Leslie Odom Jr. threaded the needle between sharp and unexpected in a Public School suit cut with tailored precision and disrupted by a red bomber jacket — a flex that few could pull off. Daniel Radcliffe, nominated for Every Brilliant Thing, walked away with the best color call of the night in a sky-blue Todd Snyder suit that was as refreshing as it sounds.
What the Tony carpet gets right — when it gets it right — is a specific kind of theatricality that doesn't tip into costume. The stars who landed here weren't just dressed; they were in it, fully, from concept to execution.
At a night built to celebrate people who show up and perform, the red carpet dress code has always been simple: commit, or don't bother.
