Kerry Washington in Atelier Versace
This is both absurd and kind of amazing? If the Tonys had an associated superhero, this is exactly what she would wear. If she had flown onto stage to present, instead of walking, I would not have been surprised. It is a CHOICE.
Tiffany Haddish in Michael Kors
This is great, though -- no need for me to make up some kind of fictional scenario where it works. And, yes, I know I'm saying that about a jumpsuit. Is that personal growth?
Christine Baranski in Alexandre Vauthier
THIS IS UNEXPECTED. Vauthier is the last designer I'd have predicted for Baranski. I don't know if I think she was right to lengthen the pants of this look from the runway version, or if she didn't lengthen them enough, or if she should have just GONE FOR IT.
Thalia in Esé Azénabor
SPEAKING OF GOING FOR IT. Left leg saw her opportunity for DRAMA and took it. (She's in costume, I think, as Kerry Washington's arch rival.)
Joan Allen
"I just thought this velvet would be comfy!"
