The 78th annual Tony Awards took place on Sunday, June 8, at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. It was an incredible three-hour show, packed with entertainment, surprising wins, and a brilliant celebration of all things Broadway. But it was also a night for celebrities to show off their fashion skills, and “Dancing With the Stars” pro Julianne Hough was undoubtedly one of the best-dressed celebrities on the night.

The Tony Awards 2025 were held at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, and the stars heading to the event were photographed on the red carpet. Hough stunned in a classic trumpet silhouette white gown designed by Christian Siriano. She opted for a natural-looking makeup look and kept her accessories to a minimum, allowing her dress to take center stage. It was a fantastic choice!

Hough was one of the presenters on the night, and she had previously shared the process of getting herself ready for the prestigious award ceremony with her fans via her Instagram Story. She posted several videos from inside Radio City Music Hall, showing other celebrities who were present. She also gave credit to her glam team, who worked on her hair and makeup for the evening.

Hough posted several photos of her outfit, taken from the red carpet, on Instagram to give a better look at her outfit. “Nothin’ like Broadway’s biggest night — my fave night of the year,” she captioned a post. Fans and celebrities alike have reacted to the post with messages about her incredible style. “You and this dress are so gorgeous and fun!!” a comment reads. “You have the best style (and glam squad goals)!!”

“THE TWIRLING on slide 10 is too cute and OMG that dress is the literal prettiest,” another person shared. Other reactions include, “The incredible dress, congratulations to the designers,” “Now that’s an entrance,” and “I love your gown.”

Designer and “Project Runway” alum Christian Siriano also posted pictures of Hough on Instagram wearing the dress he designed. “Give them ballerina shape and silhouette tonight on the stunning @juleshough #thetonyawards,” he wrote in the caption.

Siriano was responsible for several looks on the evening, and he shared photos of them on his Instagram account. This included Darren Criss, whom the designer paid tribute to after his big win. “My beautiful friend WON best actor tonight, and it was an honor creating this chic look for him! Love you @darrencriss #thetonyawards,” he captioned a post of Criss holding his trophy, and looking incredibly stylish while doing it.

To lead with impact—whether in boardrooms or on red carpets—vision, knowledge, and confidence are non-negotiable. The same rule applies to fashion. Last week, as award season continued in full swing, celebrities rose to the occasion with looks that matched the moment. From the 2025 Tony Awards to BET’s 45th anniversary dinner, the style bar was set high. Flamboyance took center stage, but even the more casual outfits brimmed with thoughtful details. With the events coming one after the other, stars had no choice but to serve back-to-back slay—and they didn’t disappoint.

The Looks

It was a wicked night at the 2025 Tony Awards, and Cynthia Erivo didn’t come to play. Snatched up in a sculptural off-the-shoulder gown by Schiaparelli, she was a breath of fresh air in a season saturated with gothic hues. The soft, pale tone was a welcome shift. Meanwhile, the décolletage neckline, corset bodice, and velvet skirt formed a trifecta of drama and elegance. As always, Erivo pushed the envelope with statement face jewelry and an equally daring manicure.

Equally audacious was Taraji P. Henson, who served a futuristic slay in Stéphane Rolland. Her coffee-brown gown featured lush fabric anchored by a mono-sleeve that stood like a sculpted monument. The architectural silhouette added a high-fashion edge, while the thigh-high slit delivered the necessary dose of sass. With everyone buzzing about her new film, Straw, it made sense that Henson pulled out a look that was as headline-worthy as her role.

Then came Letoya Luckett, who made it clear she was “outside” all weekend. From the Divorced Sistas premiere to BET’s 45th anniversary dinner, the singer-actress turned heads in a lineup of shimmery mini dresses. At the Straw premiere, she lit up the carpet in a fringed, embellished Terry Costa dress that sparkled with every move. For the BET party, she switched gears with a metallic Ibilola mini, punctuated by an asymmetrical ruffle. While many opted for flowy gowns, Luckett stood out with leg-baring, glitter-forward glamour.

Every year, the Tony Awards bring a surplus of star-studded glamour, from some of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Among those in attendance at the 2025 event was lawyer and fashion icon Amal Clooney.

The 47-year-old stepped out for a date night with her husband George Clooney, who was nominated for his role as Edward R. Murrow in Good Night, and Good Luck. Although he lost out on the prestigious award to the Oh, Mary! star and creator Cole Escola, who is the first non-binary nominee and winner of Best Leading Actor in a Play, it wasn’t a total loss for George, as his wife absolutely took home the award for the most glamorous outfit of the evening.

Amal stunned in an off-the-shoulder gown from Tamara Ralph’s Spring 2025 collection, featuring showstopping cascading rows of pearls. The look, which said 1920s flapper girl meets modern glamour, oozed bridal elegance. And on the runway was paired with a voluminous satin train, adding to the romantic nature.

But it wasn’t just her dress that perfected loved-up glamour. She paired the incredible piece with a pair of “I Love Vivier” white court heels that are a declaration of love, with the vamp shaped to resemble a heart’s curve.

The brand explains the collection on the website: “With the I Love Vivier pumps and sandals, Roger Vivier makes a declaration of love to all women.”

Accessories with romantic motifs have become a popular choice in the fashion sphere. Notably, Alaïa’s Le Coeur leather shoulder bag, the heart-shaped accessory that fashion veterans have been keenly eyeing up since its debut. True to its name, ‘Le Coeur’ (which means ‘The Heart’ in French), the bag is shaped like the popular love motif.

So, whether Amal’s outfit was a trend-led masterpiece or a subtle ode to her husband, we are completely in awe of her stellar look.

When you put some of the world’s best actors and best singers in one room, you’re sure to have a memorable show, and the 2025 Tony Awards did not disappoint.

Hosted by Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo — who is no stranger to the stage herself after having starred in The Color Purple back in 2015 — this year’s Tony Awards were full of tear-jerking moments. From Sarah Snook’s touching acceptance speech to Audra McDonald’s rendition of “Rose’s Return,” to Francis Jue’s sweet homage.

However, with so much going on, some hilariously unplanned and unscripted moments made for good TV — we’re looking at you, Cole Escola!

Below, see the best, worst and most oops moments from the Tony Awards.

The 78th annual Tony Awards have wrapped, and one of the biggest winners at the ceremony was Darren Criss. The show was held at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, June 8, and Criss had a night to remember. He also gave a memorable and emotional speech after his win for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for his performance in “Maybe Happy Ending.”

When Criss took to the stage to collect his Tony Award win, which Ariana DeBose presented, he delivered a beautiful speech. “What a night!” he told the audience. “I have such immense pride to get to be part of this notably diverse and exquisite Broadway season this year.”

He discussed the other nominees in the category. They were, Andrew Durand for his performance in “Dead Outlaw,” Tom Francis for “Sunset Blvd.,” Jonathan Groff for “Just in Time,” James Monroe Iglehart for “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical,” and Jeremy Jordan for his performance in “Floyd Collins.”

Criss also used his time on stage to celebrate his co-star Helen J. Shen, but the person he wanted to credit most for letting this moment happen was his wife, Mia Swier, who accompanied him to the award show. “The real hero of this remarkable journey is my wife Mia, who took a massive swing in allowing me to do this and allow this crazy upheaval that it took to make this logistically possible, and for bearing the brunt of raising two tiny friends under three so that I could raise a singing robot,” he said. “You are the very pedestal that upholds the shiny spinny bit in our lives.”

Darren Criss’s Involvement in the Tony Awards 2025

Criss was heavily involved in making the Tony Awards 2025 a success. He also hosted “The Tony Awards: Act One” from 6:40 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET, alongside co-host Renée Elise Goldsberry. He was also one of the best-dressed stars, wearing an outfit designed by Christian Siriano.

Siriano celebrated Criss’s win with a post on Instagram. “My beautiful friend WON best actor tonight, and it was an honor creating this chic look for him! Love you @darrencriss #thetonyawards,” he captioned two photos of Criss.

The “Project Runway” alum was responsible for several looks for the evening, including Julianne Hough’s stunning white trumpet silhouette gown and Jean Smart’s outfit. She wowed in a chic black dress.
