Just this past Sunday was the 69th Annual Tony Awards that was held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. It was a celebration of the Broadway production achievements for the past season. The award show itself is a musical extravaganza that is loaded with celebrities, as well as talent. Prior to the show, there is a parade of fashion across the red carpet of celebrities. Some of the fashion is fabulous and some, not so much.
Starting off with one of the best dressed women at the Tony Awards is Vanessa Hudgens. The former child actress and singer is certainly all grown up looking in her Naeem Khan abstract floral halter gown. The coral flowers with pops of yellow, on a cream colored background was a great color for Vanessa and the plunging halter top with cumber bun-style waist, along with the full pleated bottom made her look like the Queen of Spring.
On the best dressed men’s list for the 69th Annual Tony Awards was boy band singer and actor Nick Jonas. He looked simply dashing in his Louis Vuitton solid black tuxedo with traditional satin lapels, trousers with side striping, and a crisp white dress shirt. This particular suit hugged Nick’s shoulders and gave him a waist-shape that was very flattering. Sometimes, a classic choice is the best.
During the presentations, there was a “double take” with actresses Anna Chlumsky and Debra Messing, as they arrived to the stage in very similar gowns. I have to say that I really didn’t like either of them. Anna’s gown was a little more shapely in the placement of the straps, but the overall look with combination of black, eggplant, and a maroon stripe at the bottom just left me feeling confused. Debra had a more tonal look, but the fit was terrible and not very flattering.
At the top of the guy’s worst dressed list was actor Alan Cumming. He is always striving for a unique look, but this one is just bizarre with the Bermuda style shorts, black high-top shoes that are paired with a patterned blue and white jacket. I guess he was probably one of the coolest in temperature at the awards show.
