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.

Tamara Ralph and Candy Ventures settles legal case brought by the major Ralph & Russo creditor
, designer and one half of ex-top British couture duo Ralph & Russo, has settled a legal dispute with Candy Ventures that was owed over £15 million by her failed former Ralph & Russo business. See catwalk It comes shortly after her former label again filed for administration with the owners who bought it in 2021 appearing to have thrown in the towel The fashion house with which Ralph was still involved collapsed four years ago and The Times reported that Candy Ventures launched a legal claim against her over a loan it had made to the firm she founded with Michael Russo. Candy was its largest creditor and claimed she'd misused company funds for personal expenses, an allegation she strongly denied. The case was due to reach the High Court, but as is often the case, the parties have agreed a confidential settlement. Neither side has commented on this. Ralph has launched a new fashion business under her own name which — like Ralph & Russo before it — has been proving popular for red carpet events. As for the Ralph & Russo brand, that was acquired out of administration in July 2021 by US-based Retail Ecommerce Ventures. But its bold ambitions for the label appear to have come to nothing with administrators at RSM appointed late last month. But with Tamara Ralph's current celebrity success, it's clear that interest in the ultra-glam look for which she is currently and Ralph & Russo had been known is in high demand. That was also underlined earlier this year when there was intense interest in an auction sale of the couture archive of Ralph & Russo at Bonhams. Featuring 120 lots, it was the first time such a large number of dresses from the label's archives were available. Hot pieces included dresses worn on the red carpet by Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya and Kylie Jenner.

But for legend Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who has graced the red carpet 21 times till date, 2025 Cannes Film Festival will be a warm homecoming. Well, as the world eagerly waits to witness Aishwarya walk the red carpet for the 22nd time in all her glory, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of her most memorable looks. 23 years ago, Aishwarya made a dazzling debut on the red carpet when her film Devdas premiered at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. She arrived like an Indian princess in a chariot and was joined by her co-star Shah Rukh Khan and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Aishwarya paid tribute to her roots in a yellow-gold Neeta Lulla saree and heavy gold jewellery, redefining grace For her third appearance on the Cannes red carpet, Aishwarya opted for a bold change, trading traditional wear for a striking cut-out gown, also designed by Neeta Lulla. The dazzling white halter neck piece, adorned with rhinestones, accentuated her figure beautifully, while her radiant smile captivated onlookers In 2014, Aishwarya left everyone awestruck with her show-stopping look. She transformed into a golden goddess in a strapless mermaid gown by Roberto Cavalli. Considered as one of her most iconic red carpet moments, the shimmering gold dress highlighted her hourglass silhouette, while her bold red lips added the perfect pop of colour. Truly worth it! Another one of Aishwarya's iconic red carpet looks is her enchanting icy blue gown by Michael Cinco. Resembling a modern-day Cinderella, she dazzled in the off-shoulder creation adorned with Swarovski embellishments and intricate white lace embroidery. She finished the look with sleek, poker-straight hair, soft glam makeup, and a deep brownish-pink lip colour Another look of Aishwarya's from the 2017 Cannes Film Festival which won hearts was a multilayered strapless ruffled gown with a fitted corset-styled bodice in crimson red, by Ralph & Russo. The gorgeous diva complemented her dramatic ensemble with studded earrings, loose waves and a dark rouge pout We can't wait to witness Aishwarya turn heads on the red carpet again this year!
