This is pretty solid from Sarah. Possibly even restrained, given that her win seemed like a given. She could've shown up swaddled in ruffles.
Ben Platt, Sarah, Nick Jonas

She did, however, seem to have a very good time. And NOT showing up swaddled in ruffles does free a person up to photobomb with abandon.
Gayle Rankin (nominee, Cabaret) in Dior

This is really understated, and nice on her. The cut flows so nicely on her, the neutral makeup still keeps her from being washed out. And the cream verses a harsher white is key to that.

The back has an interseting little drape, too. Like... loose suspenders. But not as dumb as that sounds. She also really reminds me of Busy Philipps in this photo; does her Girls5Eva character need a long-lost sister?
Jim Parsons (nominee, Mother Play)

Everything is in order here.
Lena Waithe

I think I'd have done almost any color shirt and sneaks other than white? That suit is great.

This has a beautiful vintage bridal feel. I could see Emily Webb wearing that to get married in a revival of Our Town.

This actually would also make a good wedding dress for a low-key ceremony.
Shoshana Bean (nominee, Hell's Kitchen)

This leaves me cold, but I LOVED how tightly she hugged Maleah Joi Moon when Maleah won; she seemed so flustered and Shoshana came in like her rock in that moment.
Genevieve Angelson and David Korins (nominee, scenic design, "Here Lies Love")

Genevieve is an actress in her own right, but is there for her partner. Her dress needs a hoik and it MIGHT be because she stapled air filters to the hem and they're weighing it down?
Quincy Tyler Bernstine (nominee, Doubt)

This is great. And all hail her arms.
Will Butler (nominee, score and orchestrations, Stereophonic) and Jenny Shore

I am not entirely convinced he didn't fashion that ascot himself out of Kleenex in the limo. I also think whoever made his partner's dress ought to have hemmed it properly. Cut those strings, y'all! Unfinished just looks unfinished.
Paul Tazewell

This ALSO looks woven from paper products, but far more tenderly.
William Jackson Harper (nominee, Uncle Vanya) and Ali Ahn

First, she is great in The Diplomat; I love this coupling. Second, I adore Chidi and think he looks smashing. (If I had to guess, I'd say Thom Browne dressed them both? The stripe on his sweater vest seems like a sign for him, anyway.) It's a happy ending.
