The 78th Annual Tony Awards took place at New York’s iconic Radio City Music Hall. Nicole Scherzinger wowed on the red carpet in a striking off-the-shoulder red gown by Rodarte, adorned with shimmering sequins. The figure-hugging dress, featuring a thigh-high slit, highlighted the 46-year-old singer and actress’s elegant silhouette. She completed the look with matching stiletto heels.
Nicole wore bold makeup with red lipstick and had her hair styled in an elegant updo. For jewelry, she opted for understated earrings, a pendant necklace, and several eye-catching diamond rings. Scherzinger became emotional on stage as she accepted her very first Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for Sunset Blvd.
Brooke Shields also turned heads in a raspberry mini dress with ruffles and asymmetrical sleeves. The 60-year-old actress flaunted her toned, sun-kissed legs, paired with pointed red patent leather heels and a clutch reading “Radio City Music Hall.” The Blue Lagoon star accessorized with a sparkling diamond necklace and matching earrings.
George and Amal Clooney were among the evening’s standout guests. The 64-year-old actor was nominated for his role in the play Good Night, and Good Luck, an adaptation of his film of the same name. He wrote the script, directed, and starred in the production. However, the award ultimately went to Cole Escola for Oh, Mary!.
Amal looked radiant in a floor-length white off-the-shoulder gown embellished with pearl threads, complemented by white stilettos and a silver clutch. George wore a classic black tuxedo with a bow tie and polished leather shoes. He had temporarily dyed his hair brown for the stage role but has since returned to his signature silver locks. The couple shared a kiss on the red carpet.
Other celebrities in attendance included Katie Holmes, Ariana DeBose, Lea Michele, Cynthia Erivo, Natasha Hodgson, Zoe Roberts, Aleyah Chanelle Scott, Ella Beatty, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Rosie Perez, Alicia Deslorieux, Charli D’Amelio, Michelle Williams, Anna Alimani, Justina Machado, Lea Salonga, Sasha Hutchings, Camille A. Brown, Dylan Mulvaney, Jordan Tyson, Gayle King, Helen J. Shen, Julianne Hough, Karli Betteiol, Megan Hilty, and more.
