2019 Tony Awards Red Carpet Rundown: The WTF!

Welcome back, my dear readers. What a wild ride it's been! Today we will close out our WTS Tony Awards coverage with an all-suits WTF pile. Let's dive right into the uterine depths of fashion!

THE WTF

Billy Porter (with Adam Smith)!
Officially recognized national treasure Billy Porter came to party in a suit with a train in the shape of a uterus. Not only that but the material is from curtains used in the Broadway production of Kinky Boots  - you know, the one that Billy Porter got the Tony for. If you'd love to see this up close and personal someday, I have it on good authority the "entire lewk" will be donated to the Theatre Development Fund's costume collection. 


Michael Shannon (with Kate Arrington)!
This is bananas and I think I might sort of love it? I mean I definitely hate it but maybe it doubles back into love? Who knows. 

Aaron Tveit!
How many coats is too many coats? Asking for a friend.

Daniel Fish!
This is some 1980s-era Richard Belzer cosplay.

Brandon Uranowitz!
Sure.

Reeve Carney!
Designer: Gold pants?
Reeve Carney: More.
Designer: Cravat?
Reeve Carney: More.
Designer: Top hat made of feathers?
Reeve Carney: More.
Designer: Comically large lapels?
Reeve Carney: More.
Designer: Rip the sleeves off the jacket?
Reeve Carney: Perfect.

Hamish Bowles!
May the lord bless and keep you, Hamish Bowles. 

Michael Urie!
Why do I feel like this outfit was put together by way of MadLibs? 

Kelli O'Hara (with Greg Naughton)!
While it is not technically a suit, it is definitely a jumpsuit. A jumpsuit with fully sheer lace pants. I would say it's also a footectomy except I can see her feet THROUGH THE PANTS. But she was not the only one in sheer pants....

Ephraim Sykes!
I. Just. Can't. This broke me.

  1. Aaron Tveit is proposing his costume to play the next Doctor after Jodie Whitaker steps down. That is the best explanation for that outfit.

  2. Ensemble made by mad libs is an amazing concept and I am definitely going to use it in my design classes!

  3. Kelli O'Hara's outfit made me think of My Little Pony. Maybe she's also cosplaying.
