What's a red carpet [1] that celebrates Broadway shows without a little bit of drama? You can thank the dresses and trouser suits for all of the action at this year's Tony Awards [2], which saw the likes of Kerry Washington [3]'s crystal-embellished, cutout jumpsuit complete with a floor-skimming train and Tina Fey [4]'s metallic, feathered number. Sara Bareilles even showed up to play host in the loveliest shade of peach. These looks all make a statement: the Tonys are no casual event. Just scroll on if you need that reminder.
