Julianne Hough brought the heat to the 2026 Tony Awards red carpet in one of the most minimalist yet boldest looks of the night. 

The Dancing with the Stars presenter, 37, arrived for the star-studded awards show at New York's Radio City Music Hall on Sunday 7 June in a striking white dress from Tom Ford that draped to the floor and pooled around her black stilettos. 

From the front, the dress covered her frame with a high neckline. But when she turned slightly to the side, the professional dancer revealed a daring cut-out detail and a thigh-high split in the skirt.

Glamorous accessories

Julianne complemented her red carpet look with 18k yellow gold and platinum earrings by Beverly Hills designer Maison Mèrenor by Amie Satchu.

 The Diamond Oblong Earrings featured 70 pavè set round brilliant diamonds that, according to the designer on Instagram, were "sculptural, intentional, quietly rebellious earrings that didn’t compete with the dress, they completed it."

Julianne finished off her look with striking glam and her chin-length bob parted to the side. "Let’s hear it for the glam," she captioned several photos of her gorgeous red carpet ensemble on Instagram. 

Tony's red carpet fashion

The Tony's red carpet this year was stacked with stars who brought their fashion A-game. Glee alum Lea Michelle was draped in sparkles for the awards show, wearing a belted black and white sequin ensemble from Michael Kors. 

It was big night for Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who was nominated for his performance in Every Brilliant Thing, and made a rare joint appearance with his long-time partner Erin Darke. The couple coordinated in blue and posed for pictures together on the carpet. 

Ahead of her hosting duties, singing sensation Pink arrived in a black sequin dress with a dramatic skirt. She was supported by her husband Carey Hart and their kids, Willow and Jameson.

Meanwhile, nominee Stephanie Hsu sparkled in a strapless pink dress adorned with embroidered flowers. Hollywood star Sarah Paulson also looked pretty in pink, wearing a silky midi dress embellished with bows.
