We have some photos from last night’s Tony Awards, hosted by the venerable Neil Patrick Harris. A complete list of winners is here, we’ll be focusing on some of the fashion and will bring you more later today. To start we have Anna Kendrick, looking gorgeous in a navy blue and black Donna Karan Atelier gown. The bodice and side train on this dress are a little fussy for me, but overall this is gorgeous. She reminds me a little of Kate Mara here, I think it’s her styling.
Did you know that Anna got her start on stage, in the musical High Society in 1998? She was nominated for a Tony Award for best actress for that role when she was just 13 years old.
Here’s Sally Field in dark green Georgio Armani. The dress is striking on her but I dislike the single sequin boob, that’s just bizarre. The asymmetric neckline makes it look like she’s popping out. She looks amazing otherwise though.
Bernadette Peters was also in dark green, in Donnna Karan Atelier. I love the criss-cross design of this strapless gown. She is really working it. She’s 65 years old. I would have put her at 20 years younger easily.
Cicely Tyson was in a ridiculous ruffled gown for which I don’t have a designer ID. That looks like a complicated dust ruffle. She earned the Tony for leading actress in a play, for the “The Trip to Bountiful.” It was a return to the stage for her after 30 years. In her acceptance speech she said she prayed for the role. “I really didn’t think it would happen again in my lifetime and I was pretty comfortable with that, except that I had this burning desire to do just one more. One more great role, I said. I didn’t want to be greedy. I just wanted one more, and it came to me with no effort on my part.”
Cicely is shown with the lovely Patina Miller, who won leading actress in a musical, for “Pippin.” Patina is in a Zac Posen gown. Here’s another photo of her. I think I would like the dress better if the skirt was about half the volume.
