The 2026 Tony Awards took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York, hosted by Pink. The 79th annual ceremony celebrates the finest theatre productions of the year, with highlight moments including tributes marking the 30th anniversary of “Chicago” and the 50th anniversary of “Rent,” while “The Lost Boys” and “Schmigadoon!” led with 12 nominations each. The Best Leading Actress category featured only first-time nominees for the first time since 2002.

With a lineup like this, the event had its major moments ready, but before anything even started, the red carpet had already captured attention with a range of looks, from bold colors to minimal details.
