The Tony Awards: Broadway Razzle Dazzles!

On June 8th 2014, Broadway’s stars and fans gathered at the iconic Radio City Music Hall for the annual Tony Awards. This year, the host was none other than wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, looking dapper in a classic black suit and bowtie. Classic does seem to be a word to describe some of the looks we saw, especially on the men. Dule Hill, Orlando Bloom, Wayne Brady and Matt Bomer sported navy blue suits while Zachery Quinto, Jonathan Groff and Tony Goldwyn showed off in black tuxes.

The ladies were no slouches either, bringing an enchanting elegance to the red carpet. With designers like Reem Acra, Dolce and Gabbana, Zac Posen and Narciso Rodriguez on display the women of Broadway shone bright. Quite literally in some cases with bright orange one of the biggest colors of the evening; as seen on Fran Drescher, Celia Keenan-Bolger and Lauren Worsham. Varying shades of red also made a splash on Idina Menzel, Patricia Clarkson, Linda Edmond and Audra McDonald.

We simply cannot forget about those who stood out from the crowd. Stage actors and actresses are known for their eccentricities and some displayed those traits on the red carpet. RuPaul wore a hot pink suit jacket and black trousers, last year’s winner Billy Porter wrapped a silk scarf around his neck reminiscent of a bow-tie, three-time tony winner Mark Rylance donned a bowler hat and last but not least, nominee Adrienne Lenox was clad in a neon orange coat dress with white short shorts underneath and quite the unique hat.
