The Best Red Carpet Looks From The 2026 Tony Awards

And just like that, the fourth major award show, the Tony Awards, which completes the final letter in theprestigious “EGOT” quartet, is upon us. And, as much as it’s known for celebrating the major Broadway plays and musicals that bring us so much joy, the Tony Awards are also known for the incredible looks on the carpet.

This year, specifically, Usher turned heads in his brown leather blazer and shades. Meanwhile, Proof star Kara Young was seen in a green, shoulder-bearing dress. Artfully sculpted baby hairs framed her forehead, while a berry-stained lip added a pop of color and dimension to the look.
