Glitter was a top trend amongst Broadway's elite. Cole Escola, who took home the Tony Award for best actor in a play for their role in 'Oh, Mary!' sported a sparkly, silver eye look that perfectly matched the custom Wiederhoeft gown inspired by Berndatte Peters' look from the 1999 Tony Awards. The star wore a set of matching stiletto nails adorned with crystals. Adam Lambert, who previously starred in 'Cabaret' this season, opted for a similar full-on metallic look from the makeup to the hair to the nails to the suit.
'I was inspired by a Tony award. Literally that was my inspo,' Lambert told WWD on the red carpet ahead of the awards at Radio City Music Hall.
Choreographer Camille A. Brown also opted for a bit of shimmer with gem stones placed along her hair line. Brown and several others, including Audra McDonald nominated for her role in 'Gypsy' and Lea Michele who will star in 'Chess' later this year, went for dark, bold eyes.
While eyes were the focus for many stars at the event, some opted for bold lips. Nicole Scherzinger, who took home the award for best actress in a musical, and Sadie Sink, who was nominated for her role in 'John Proctor Is the Villain,' both opted for Old Hollywood-style red lips. Scherzinger's rendition employed Revlon products.
Old Hollywood overall was a source of inspiration for many. When it came to hair, many including Amal Clooney, attending with her husband George Clooney who was nominated for his role in 'Good Night, and Good Luck' sported classic curls. Alongside the glamorous hair, she opted for a more minimalistic yet dewy makeup look courtesy of Charlotte Tilbury. Gracie Lawrence donned 1950s-esque curls, a nod to her role as Connie Francis in 'Just in Time' on Broadway, while Brooke Shields went for a slightly looser curl finished with products from her hair care line Commence.
In the way of Old Hollywood, Scherzinger's bold updo was inspired by Audrey Hepburn's signature look in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.'
As per usual, Cynthia Erivo who hosted the awards' ceremony wore her stiletto nails, this time featuring red florals and adorned with crystals courtesy of nail artist Mycah Dior and Aprés Nails.
Here, a look at the best beauty looks from the 78th annual Tony Awards.

‘Hot, big and buggy;' NYT uncovers why Broadway actors spend summers in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS — The New York Times recently uncovered why many of New York's Broadway actors would decide to spend their summer in the humidity and 'oppressive heat' of St. Louis. The NYT found The Muny had been their reason for escaping to landlocked St. Louis instead of a beach along the coast. The report followed along with the actors as they prepared for The Muny's 107th season beginning on June 16 with 'Bring It On.' The Muny recently received this year's regional theater Tony Award, and the report noted the theater's 'Broadway-caliber' shows despite a quick turnaround for a lineup of seven shows in just 10 weeks. Police: Suspect tracked obituaries, stole from dead St. Louis County residents Jessica Vosk, an actress who has been in various Muny productions, told the NYT that nine times out of 10 when Broadway performers are asked where they want to work over the summer, 'it's always the Muny.' The report also noted the Muny's staying power in the St. Louis community with its loyal subscriber base. The Muny received its Tony Award shortly after the May 16 tornado that swept through several miles of St. Louis, including Forest Park. The Muny experienced some of this damage after the storm swept away a preshow stage and caused a tree to fall on one of the concession stands. The Muny's Tony Award also includes a $25,000 grant, which the NYT reported will be given to other St. Louis theaters and even to help the theater's seasonal employees who fell victim to the tornado.

Kim Kardashian, John Leguizamo and more react to ICE immigration raids
Celebrities around the country are sharing their thoughts on the ICE immigration raids that began in Los Angeles last week. Kim Kardashian took to her Instagram Stories to issue a statement. 'When we're told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals- great. But when we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what's right,' she wrote. 'Growing up in LA, I've seen how deeply immigrants are woven into the fabric of this city. They are our neighbors, friends, classmates, coworkers, and family. No matter where you fall politically, it's clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants. We can't turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and HAS to be a BETTER way.' The Skims co-founder then posted a clip of Doechii's acceptance speech from the BET Awards from the night before where she blasted the Trump administration over the raids and mobilization of the National Guard. Meanwhile, actor and comedian John Leguizamo used his platform to share a video message to his followers. 'Your protests are beautiful. Protesting is as American as apple pie. But Trump wants to create a situation. He wants to be able to call on the Insurrection Act. He wants to create martial law so he can take over every government in every city and every state, so don't give him that,' the actor pleaded to his followers. 'Don't give him what he wants. I mean, he's trampling on all our democratic values of due process, of listening to courts and the judiciary. Just stay calm, stay peaceful. Don't let don't give him what he wants.' He's not the only person speaking out. Standup comedian Gabriel Iglesias, who is a Los Angeles native, shared a post by comedian Alfred Robles to his Instagram Stories, where he was asking if his followers knew of any street vendors in the East L.A., Montebello, Whittier, and La Habra areas who were still working under these circumstances. 'I would like to donate to them so they could go home and be safe with their family,' Robles wrote after encouraging his followers to direct message him the information of those who fit this category. Actress Eva Longoria also posted a video message on Instagram. She called the mass deportations 'inhumane' and 'hard to watch.' She noted that the discord around the situation was 'un-American.' 'We all can agree, nobody wants criminals in our country, nobody wants rapists, nobody wants drug dealers, nobody wants bad actors in our country- that's not what's happening,' the film producer explained. 'These roundups are happening in birthday parties, in elementary school graduations, Home Depot. Those are not criminals. I hope that everyone has more compassion for this issue and realizes we have industries dependent on immigrant labor.' She went on to explain that 'these are people who feed us and take care of us and take care of our families and our children and our communities and we can't deny them as humans. We just can't.' 'For those of you who keep yelling, 'Well, you should've come here legally. Get in the back of the line,' there is no line. This mythical line that people are talking about. There's people have been waiting for citizenship for 25 years that have been 'in line.' I just ask for you guys to educate yourself, if you're out there yelling 'Good, they deserve this,' no, they don't. They're hardworking people from my community, and I think we need to have more compassion for them. They want to just come here and work and provide for their families.' In the post's caption, she listed support organizations like the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, SEIU California, National Day Laborers Organizing Network, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, aka CHIRLA, and the day laborer program IDEPSCA.
