Style was center stage at Sunday’s Tony Awards in New York City.
There was no shortage of drama during the event at the Big Apple’s Lincoln Center, where people celebrated the best plays, musicals and performers from Broadway’s 2023-2024 season.
Opening the red carpet was the evening’s host, Oscar winner Ariana DeBose, who dazzled in a strapless, stained glass-inspired Oscar de la Renta gown.

Alicia Keys evoked the energy of her biographical musical, “Hell’s Kitchen,” wearing an off-the-shoulder burgundy Gucci dress with chunky sequins and matching opera gloves.
This year marks the 77th iteration of the Tony Awards; each year it honors the top plays and performances that graced the collection of 41 New York theaters that make up Broadway.
Thirty-five shows are in the running for awards this year, with the Hillary Clinton-produced musical “Suffs,” Keys’ “Hell’s Kitchen” and the song-peppered stage play “Stereophonic” all competing for top honors.
