The top 5 looks from the Tony Awards: Snook and Clooney win
Amal Clooney in Tamara Ralph
With Snook championing a British designer, Australian creativity made an unexpected appearance at the Tony Awards on the slender frame of Amal Clooney. With husband George Clooney nominated for his performance in the play Good Night, and Good Luck (not his divisive hair dye for the role), barrister Amal wore a pearl-encrusted, fitted design by Australian designer Tamara Ralph.
The former creative director of Ralph & Russo, worn by Meghan Markle, has found greater fame under her own name dressing Angelina Jolie and Blake Lively since parting ways with former partner Michael Russo.
Sadie Sink in Prada
Sensuous 1930s glamour was on many stars' mood boards this season, but few managed to embody the decade's silky grace as effectively as Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in Prada. The plunging neckline and embellished bow detail playfully combined maturity with hints of mischief.
Cole Escola in Wiederhoeft
Audiences of Escola's hit play Oh Mary!, focusing on the imagined cabaret aspirations of Mary Todd Lincoln, are familiar with the playwright and performer's unique humour. That humour was present in the best actor award winner's red carpet tribute to Broadway legend Bernadette Peters.
Loading
Escola's gown from Wiederhoeft was a tribute to the outfit Peters wore to collect her Tony for Annie Get Your Gun at the 1999 ceremony, although the update dispensed with medals across the bodice.
'We found ourselves inspired by additional themes of faded crypticism, false innocence, fightfulness, womanly age-hold historically feminine garments, queenly status and ancient doors,' Jackson Wiederhoeft says.
While the dress was a nod to Peters, the hairy chest was all Escola.

Tom Felton supported by Daniel Radcliffe while preparing for Broadway debut in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Tom Felton is happy he's had Daniel Radcliffe to "hold [his] hand" as he prepares for his Broadway debut. The 37-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as Draco Malfoy for a stint in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and while he's never appeared on the New York stage before, his Harry Potter co-star - who played the titular boy wizard in all eight films - has starred in five productions so has been only too happy to offer help and guidance to his friend. Speaking on the red carpet at the Tony Awards in New York on Sunday (08.06.25), Tom told People magazine: "My old school chum, Potter, Radcliffe, has done quite a bit of Broadway, so he's holding my hand and certainly helping me through all the things that are hard to learn. "But from what I gather, it's an amazing community of people. The fans are really, really gracious and excited. So I'm just thrilled to be part of it." Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is set 19 years after the end of the main series, and Tom is "excited" to explore new sides to Draco now he is an adult. He said: "I just never saw myself having blonde hair again and reprising that role. Now as a dad, Draco has a son. So yes, it is an old character, but in a very new set of circumstances. I'm excited to explore it." The actor admitted he is a "huge fan of the show" and has seen the play "a dozen times, mainly in England and a few times now on Broadway." Tom - who will be performing in the show from November 11, 2025, until March 22, 2026 - recently admitted he "immediately cried" when he put on his character's distinctive blonde wig for the first time. He told "It's very, very easy to get emotional. 'When they put my blonde wig on for the theatre production, I just immediately cried. It was just sort of like a blast from the past.' Presale tickets for the show featuring Tom will be available on June 10 at 11am EST. Tickets for the general public will go on sale on June 12 at 11am EST.

Alex Winter teases 'very personal' reunion with Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves had a "crazy, inspired idea" that led to him and Alex Winter reuniting on Broadway. The Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure stars are set to appear in a revival of Waiting for Godot and Alex - who will play Vladimir opposite Keanu as Estragon in the adaptation of Samuel Beckett's classic work - credits his friend for their reunion. Speaking on the red carpet at the Tony Awards in New York City on Sunday (08.06.25), Alex told People magazine he and Keanu had "wanted to work together" again. He added: "We have known each other a very long time — [which is fitting for] a play about two people who have known each other a very long time. ... And Keanu had this crazy, inspired idea that suddenly turned into reality, for both of us." And Alex, 59, teased the production is "very, very personal" to himself and Keanu, 60. Asked what fans can expect from Waiting For Godot, he said: "I think every time the play is done, it's different, because of who's playing it. It's very, very personal, and so we're bringing ourselves to it." The two stars previously admitted they find it easy to work together because of their friendship. In a video conversation with director Jamie Lloyd about Waiting for Godot shared with People magazine, Alex said: "It's like being in a band together. We kind of know each other's rhythms. "Being able to bring that into, onto a stage, that's sort of our fundamental. That's in our bones away." Keanu added: "The films that we did together, the Bill and Ted films, the language in those films had the architecture and their rhythms. "Even from early days, we approached them theatrically or even commedia dell'arte, 'Okay, I do something, you do something, I get the ball, you get the ball.' " "That's why, in the audition, we were so vibed. Because you didn't get that from other actors so much." Waiting for Godot begins previews at the Hudson Theater in New York on 13 September ahead of a limited run from 28 September to 4 January.

Sarah Snook has no 'idea' how to turn The Picture of Dorian Gray into a film
Sarah Snook has no "idea'" how to turn her stage version of The Picture of Dorian Gray into a film. The Succession star opened the play - based on the novel of the same name by Oscar Wilde - at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London's West End last year but the show has since transferred to Broadway and she won a Tony Award for the role on Sunday night (08.06.25). Cate Blanchett's production company Dirty Pictures is planning to turn the play into a movie, but Sarah has no idea who they will do it because the stage show is a "a particularly complex piece" of theatre. Sarah was asked about the film version backstage at the Tony Awards in New York, and said: "I have as much idea as you do about where that is." She went on to add: "I don't know how this gets turned into a film. It's a particularly complex piece to do as a theatre show. "I mean, dramaturgically it holds up and I think Kip [the play's director Kip Williams] would be an incredible director for that project." Sarah went on to add it "'would be a dream come true" for her to take part in the film version of the play. She added of the Tony Awards: "I didn't even know Tony season even existed! You end up seeing all of the people who are nominated with you for other shows … It's really nice because you get to meet the person who is creating art at the same time as you are." Sarah previously admitted she had a spooky encounter during the play's run at London's Theatre Royal Haymarket, which has a reputation for being haunted. She told New Yorker magazine: "I do feel like I saw one [a ghost]. I saw somebody get up, and I was like: 'Oh, cool. They're getting up and leaving. They must need to go to the toilet'. "But I look back and they were not there. They were in a very white, kind of Victorian play-dress, a big floofy white dress and a bow. I did ask the people who run the theatre, and they said that it's haunted, but they've never seen that ghost." The Theatre Royal Haymarket is said to be haunted by the ghost of actor/playwright playwright John Baldwin Buckstone, who died in 1879, and actor Sir Patrick Stewart previously claimed to have seen the spook while he was performing in a production of 'Waiting for Godot' with Sir Ian McKellen.
