Cynthia Erivo Holds Court in Schiaparelli Gown and 3D Floral Nail Art at Tony Awards 2025
Host of the 2025 Tony Awards, Cynthia Erivo arrived on Broadway's most prestigious red carpet on Sunday in a champagne-colored gown featuring a heavily beaded off-the-shoulder bodice made of sheer fabric and decorated with intricate crystal and silver embellishments in floral or circular patterns. Styled by Jason Bolden, her dress came straight from Schiaparelli's spring 2025 couture runway.
The Schiaparelli spring 2025 couture collection, created by Daniel Roseberry, featured a color scheme 'inspired by a visit to an antique shop with an inventory of ribbons from the 1920s and '30s,' WWD's Joelle Diderich wrote in January, with many dresses in shades of dusty nudes, faded greens and burnt saffron browns, like the one wore champagne gown worn by Erivo at the award show.
