While not as star-studded as the other prestigious award shows, this year’s Tony Awards kept the red carpet interesting with a string of celebrities in their fabulous and elegant dresses.
Intriguingly, most people opted for elegant, fully-covered gowns that matched the event’s classy theme. To us, these are the seven celebrities who appeared in their prettiest:
1. Jennifer Lopez in Valentino
At the 2015 Tony Awards in New York City, Jennifer Lopez stunned on the red carpet with an old Hollywood look, wearing a navy Valentino Couture gown adorned with sparkling gold embellishments and accessorized with Harry Winston jewels and a Jimmy Choo clutch, perfectly complementing the ensemble with an elegant curled-under bob and dark berry lip on June 7, 2015 (Credit: Rob Rich / WENN / Joseph Marzullo / Ivan Nikolov)
The 45-year-old donned a gorgeous, strapless Valentino Spring 2015 couture gown styled with a gold-toned clutch. Jennifer’s retro hairstyle and makeup complemented the dress perfectly.
2. Vanessa Hudgens in Naeem Khan
Vanessa Hudgens attended the 2015 Tony Awards in New York City wearing a stunning Naeem Khan Spring 2015 ball gown with a voluminous skirt, statement-making floral print, and elegant evening-ready appeal, accompanied by a gold Rodo clutch and Norman Silverman jewelry on June 7, 2015 (Credit: Rob Rich / WENN / Joseph Marzullo / Ivan Nikolov)
The High School Musical alum impressed in a Naeem Khan Spring 2015 pansy print halter gown that she styled with a Rodo crystal-covered tube clutch. Vanessa then styled her hair in milkmaid braids and donned minimal accessories and make-up.
3. Amanda Seyfried in Oscar de la Renta
At the 2015 Tony Awards in New York City, Amanda Seyfried sported a Fall 2015 Oscar de la Renta floral jacquard mini dress with off-the-shoulder style and peek-a-boo lace panels that added touches of femininity, complemented by Tiffany & Co. jewelry, Christian Louboutin ‘Maltaise’ pumps, and sultry smoky eye makeup on June 7, 2015 (Credit: Rob Rich / WENN / Joseph Marzullo / Ivan Nikolov)
The 23-year-old was a vision in a gilded Oscar de la Renta Fall 2015 cocktail dress that boasted an off-the-shoulder top and fit-and-flare structure. We approve of her heavy eye makeup and Christian Louboutin’s “Maltaise” pumps.
4. Kelli O’Hara in Oscar de la Renta
The Broadway actress was not just a big winner that night (she bagged the Best Actress award). She was also a big winner on the red carpet in this ethereal Oscar de la Renta lace gown.
At the 2015 Tony Awards held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Kelli O’Hara gave an emotional acceptance speech for her Best Actress in a Musical win for The King & I, marking her first win after six previous nominations, on June 7, 2015 (Credit: Rob Rich / WENN / Joseph Marzullo / Ivan Nikolov)
To complete her look, she wore Jimmy Choo sandals, a clutch, and Fred Leighton jewelry.
5. Sutton Foster in Naeem Khan

These layers of ombre fabric are a creation of Naeem Khan. The actress has won the Tony Awards twice for Best Actress in a Musical and has been nominated four times for the same category.
6. Emily Ratajkowski in Marc Jacobs
Emily Ratajkowski looks stunning on her 24th birthday at the 2015 Tony Awards in New York, wearing a deep blue floor-length Marc Jacobs gown featuring a halter neckline, beaded embellishments, and a thick fabric belt accentuating her waist on June 7, 2015 (Credit: Rob Rich / WENN / Joseph Marzullo / Ivan Nikolov)
The svelte model, who celebrated her 24th birthday the same day, was decked out in royal blue in this Marc Jacobs halter neck gown. We also love the drop earrings and the updo.
7. Joan Smalls in Givenchy
Joan Smalls made a stylish appearance in a long-sleeved dress by Givenchy featuring an asymmetrical neckline at the American Theatre Wing’s 69th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York on June 7, 2015 (Credit: Rob Rich / WENN / Joseph Marzullo / Ivan Nikolov)
This Givenchy dress may not be as glitzy and glamorous as the other dresses, but it’s just as stunning. The slitted front and the one-shoulder structure have helped elevate it to red carpet status.
