Renee Elise Goldsberry in Oscar de la Renta
Obviously we are starting with Angelicaaaaaaa.
Philippa Soo
And then Elizaaaaa.... who looked beautiful but it mostly here for her shoes...
Jasmine Cephas Jones (right)
AND PEGGY. Because it's about damn time someone gave And Peggy some props. I don't think she'll win this, in part because she wasn't as visible on the night, but I thought Jasmine killed it. She actually pulled focus for me a little in this number. WORK.
Sophie Okonedo in Zac Posen
If Fug Nation's comments are indicative, Sophie is the one to beat here.
Lupita Nyong'o in Boss
Some of you questioned the actual beads, but I think this is flat-out fantastic.
Nicollette Robinson (in Christian Siriano) and Leslie Odom Jr.
Honestly, they're basically here as a duo -- in spite of his hipster pant length. The jacket and her EVERYTHING are magnificent.
Heather Headley
I needed four more nights in NYC last time. I am gutted I missed the chance to see Heather Headley join "The Color Purple." She's fabulous here, and everywhere.
Oprah
This makes me want to get an eye test, in case I need glasses.
Busy Philipps
She looks perfect.
Audra McDonald
Speaking of perfect.
Adrienne Warren
This is so swingy and fun.
Lucy Liu in Zuhair Murad
I just processed how many women in this slideshow are wearing yellow.
Joan Smalls in Altuzarra
Made of yes.
Laura Benanti in Oscar de la Renta
And, full circle, we close with another Oscar de la Renta. I truly feel like another handful of people could've squeezed in here, but I didn't want it to get too unwieldy; still, the Tonys NAILED IT overall this year and there truly are no losers. Well, except for...

Diane Lane
At least she seems like a kick?
Renee Elise Goldsberry
I ended up thinking this was really unusual and fun, but a LOT of Fug Nation did not care for it. AND THUS. Here it is.
Tavi Gevinson
This feels like... I don't know. An indoor party during an unseasonably warm Sundance.
Karolina Kurkova
Not even a model OR gold lame can make me want to wear the jacket.
Jessie Mueller
I really like her, and BOY did she sing her guts out in the "Waitress" number. I also saw her on the Tonys Shapchat insisting on including the people who had been helping her fluff her gown. She seems like a joy. But evidently those are SHORTS under there. SHORTS.
Judith Light
It's the top, Judith. It's not you. It's NEVER you.
Liya Kebede
Fishing lures for the WTF. Which, by the way, is a palindrome. FTWTF.
Allison Williams in DKNY
I want to like it but I can't.
Cynthia Erivo
I felt weird putting this one on here, because while I truly do not like the garment, I found it so JOYFULLY bonkers. As did a lot of you. So... empirically, this is one of the worst, but boy, her charm does wonders.
Cate Blanchett in Louis Vuitton
And then evil showed up.
