Fashion Meets Theatre at the Tony Awards

6 min read

Broadway’s biggest stars headed to New York’s iconic Radio City Music Hall for a night of theatre, fashion and celebration. How better to see the show-stopping event through the eyes of the glamorous attendees?

With The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time winning the award for ‘Best Play’ and the ever-glamorous Helen Mirren taking home the award for ‘Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play’ for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in The Audience – it was a night not to be missed.

Vanessa Hudgens celebrated her first year in Broadway with a Naeem Khan princess gown, teamed with Norman Silverman jewellery – she later won the award for ‘Favourite Breakthrough Performance’ for her debut role in Gigi – it’s no wonder her Instagram is full of dancing.

It seems the Calvin Klein and Kendall romance is a match made in heaven. From Cannes to the Met Gala, Francisco Costa’s designs are made with the model in mind. A quick preview of the array of coral sequins was enough to get everyone talking about the love story of the year before the model even took to Radio City.

Prabal Gurung and Zac Posen’s designs took centre stage as they dressed a host of celebrities. Both men arrived on the arms of their models and muses, playing out this year’s trend for designer and model/actress pairings.

A preview within the music hall offering homage to some of the theater’s best, revealed a plethora of summertime blooms with gentle injections of colour – a sweet, sophisticated alternative to the flashes of the red carpet.

An ever-comical Joan Smalls hides behind her playbill ahead of the award announcements. With models also infiltrating Cannes, fashion’s favourites and the theater’s most talented are making this year’s events the most stylish yet.
