The top 5 looks from the Tony Awards: Snook and Clooney win
Sarah Snook clutching her first Tony Award is not the only reason that the stars are now shining brighter on Broadway. The red carpet for US theatre's premier event ditched its dowdy reputation, with divas, directors and ingenues embracing the elevated style of the Emmys and Oscars, without ditching humour, diversity and drama, darling!
The presence of US Vogue editor Anna Wintour was a hint of the Met Gala-worthy looks to come from Hollywood actors returning to the stage and Broadway diehards.
Cynthia Erivo in Schiaparelli
Before returning to Wicked promotional duties later this year for the sequel Wicked: For Good, and the inevitable green-themed dresses, Erivo borrowed from co-star Ariana Grande's preferred palette as Glinda in a velvet blush skirt with an embellished bodice from Schiaparelli's spring haute couture collection.
Erivo proceeded to change throughout her hosting duties for the ceremony, but the dramatic pearl-trimmed neckline from Schiaparelli creative director Daniel Roseberry stole the show before the curtain went up.
Sarah Snook in Richard Quinn
Having embraced the masculine elements of her award-winning performance in The Picture of Dorian Gray at last month's Met Gala, Snook pushed her feminine side to the fore at the Tony Awards.
In British designer Richard Quinn's sequinned stretch gown, Snook was sleeker than the statuette she would eventually clutch. Broad shoulders and a high neckline elevated her leading lady status.
