We know the awards have already been given out, but here are some of our favorite looks from the Black stars who rocked the red carpet at the 2025 Tony Awards.

Cynthia Erivo

Host Cynthia Erivo turned every head on the red carpet in this blush-colored Schiaparelli gown. Her simple jewelry was the perfect choice to show off the beautifully bejeweled neckline.

Camille A. Brown

Tony-nominated choreographer Camille A. Brown glowed in this blue bodycon gown.

Audra McDonald

Before Best Actress nominee Audra McDonald stunned the audience with an amazing performance from her hit show, “Gypsy,” she worked the red carpet in this eye-catching gown.

Michelle Williams

“Death Becomes Her” actress and Destiny’s Child alum Michelle Williams wore a beautiful black floor-length dress from Bibhu Mohapatra’s ready-to-wear collection.

Sasha Hutchings

We love the romantic ruffles in actress Sasha Hutchings’s sheer sky blue gown.

Renee Elise Goldsberry

“Hamilton” actress Renee Elise Goldsberry keeps it simple and sexy in a high-slit gown from Donna Karan.

Joy Woods

Joy Woods is a golden girl in this beautiful metallic long-sleeved look.

Natalie Venetia Belcon

Actress Natalie Venetia Belcon, who won the Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical Tony for her role in “Buena Vista Social Club,” is giving Broadway diva in the best way in a black gown and cape with feathered details.

Danielle Brooks

Tony-nominated actress Danielle Brooks werks a couture dress by designer Stephane Rolland, but we have to pause to appreciate her beautiful braided updo.

Kalen Allen

Who says men have to wear all black? Kalen Allen brightens up the carpet with this jewel-toned suit.

James Monroe Iglehart

We’re used to seeing him in his genie costume, but we’re not mad at Aladdin actor James Monroe Inglehart’s double-breasted jacket and sneakers.

Cynthia Erivo

So, we know this is supposed to be about red carpet looks, but we had to give a special shout out to Cynthia Erivo for the purple gown with feathered neckline she wore during a performance.

Paul Tazewell

Of course the winner of the Best Costume Design, Musical Tony would stun on the red carpet. We see you, Paul Tazewell.

Samuel L. Jackson & LaTanya Richardson Jackson

We love the subtle sequin details in Samuel L. Jackson and his wife, LaTanya Richardson Jackson’s coordinating black looks.
