“She Looks Like A Stuffed Turkey”: 29 Stars Brutally Roasted For Their 2026 Tony Awards Outfit

Daniel Radcliffe had a big smile on his face as he arrived arm-in-arm with his longtime girlfriend Erin Darke, towering next to him on the red carpet.

The 36-year-old Harry Potter star was dressed in a blue-gray Todd Snyder tuxedo with a light blue button-up shirt and bowtie, while his partner since 2012 wore a dark blue halter-neck gown with a long, pleated skirt.

Daniel, who was nominated for Lead Actor in a Play for Every Brilliant Thing, said his son was always on his mind while acting in the one-man show, which required him to perform eight shows across six days every week.

But on the other hand, his 3-year-old seemed “fine” and “didn’t miss [him].”

“When I was thinking about certain things in the show, I would think about him a lot, so he was actually quite energizing,” he told E! News on the red carpet.

Some tsk-tsked at Daniel’s outfit.

“Awful child-like suit,” one said, “terrible.”

Others pointed out their height difference and said, “You're a mini-wizard, Harry.”

“He should have stood on that magic broom,” another said.

But most fans praised the couple for looking so happy together, calling them the “best-looking couple in showbiz.”

“They look fantastic together. Honestly, it is so refreshing to see a high-profile couple completely unbothered by traditional height stereotypes on the red carpet. Confidence is always the best look,” one said.
“Daniel Radcliffe out here proving height is just a number when you’ve got 14 years of chemistry and a Tony nom,” wrote another. “Short king energy with a tall queen by his side. Love this for them.”

Another star who looked like she was swallowed by a flock of birds was Queen Latifah.

During the star-studded event, the actress took the Radio City Music Hall stage, along with a cast of superstar special guests, to perform a medley of hits from Chicago, which is not only the longest-running American musical.

Queen Latifah, who was Oscar-nominated for her portrayal of Matron “Mama” Morton in Chicago's 2002 film adaptation, joined P!nk, Whitney Leavitt, and other stars to mark the musical’s 30th anniversary.

“At 30 years and counting, Chicago has proven to have more than just staying power,” Latifah told the audience. “And I count myself lucky to share in that legacy.”

While her performance scored major praise, her Red Carpet outfit seemed a little “scary” to fans.
 
“Look better if they used about 95% less Feathers,” one said.

“Too many feathers!” another exclaimed. “It’s scary. looking 👀 with all those feathers.”

P!nk, who hosted the glitzy award show, turned her red carpet appearance into a family affair.

She brought some of her favorite people to pose with her, including her husband, Carey Hart, daughter Willow, son Jameson, and her mom, Judith Moore.

The singer literally swept the red carpet in a shimmering, beaded black dress that had a mountain of dark, patterned feathers bursting out from her hips.

“What is she? A chicken?” one asked, while another wrote, “She looks like a stuffed turkey.”

“Return her to her cage,” said another.

“Did anyone tell her she has toilet paper stuck to her a**?” one asked.

Another said, “These people have all kinds of money, and they spend it on something that looks like pj's.”

During her opening monologue, P!nk joked about how someone who has never been in a Broadway show was hosting the Tony Awards 2026.

“For some reason, I’m your host, P!nk,” she joked.

She gave a shoutout to her 15-year-old daughter Willow as well, saying, “Tonight, I am here as Broadway’s biggest fan — well second biggest next to my daughter, Willow.”

So many textures. So many colors. The eyes just don’t know where to look.

Aya Cash was dressed in a high-waisted suit and completely ditched a shirt, wearing a leather bra top.

Her slouchy brown trousers were paired with a massive blazer, which patched together pinstripes, cream fabric, and brown panels all at once.

Aubrey Plaza proudly showed off her baby bump as she showed up with boyfriend Christopher Abbott.

The mama-to-be was dressed in a sleek striped black-and-white Chanel dress, while her Black Bear costar matched her in a sharp black velvet suit.

Christopher was nominated for his first Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play for his role as Biff Loman in the Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman.

Netizens had plenty to say about their appearance.

“Least flattering dress ever,” one said, while another rightly said, “Pregnancy looks good on her.”

“Aubrey producing both movies and babies, awesome,” said another.

One asked, “Didn’t her ex husband just pass away months ago?”

Earlier this year, sources revealed that Aubrey was welcoming a baby with Chris, but some fans claimed it was too soon after the tragic passing of her late husband, Jeff Baena, who took his own life last year.

“It was a beautiful surprise after an emotional year,” a source told People about the pregnancy.

Aubrey dealt with the loss of her late husband, Jeff Baena, last year. They began dating in 2011 and tied the knot in 2021.

The screenwriter and film director took his own life on January 3, 2025, at the age of 47.

It is believed he and the Parks and Recreation alum had been separated for months before his untimely passing. Jeff had texted his estranged wife about three hours before his body was found in a Los Angeles-area home.

“That didn't take long,” one commented after Aubrey’s pregnancy announcement.

Another said, “People are moving on quick af bro.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus looked ecstatic to be attending the Tonys in a black body-hugging dress from the Wiederhoeft Spring 2026 collection.

She wore the textured black strapless gown with a massive, blindingly bright silver diamond collar necklace, making netizens say, “OK, I'll pass.”

“Weirdo,” read one comment.

One viewer could only see “another face-lift” when she posed on the red carpet.

The Emmy-winning actress is making her Broadway debut this fall in the first Broadway revival of Jon Robin Baitz's Tony Award-winning play Other Desert Cities. She will be sharing the stage with Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Joe Keery and Lily Rabe.

Julia has been experiencing big feelings about her theater debut, saying it was “thrilling, terrifying, exciting,” and “scary,” all at the same time. 

“It’s a new challenge, but it’s welcome,” she told USA TODAY on the red carpet.

Fans were excited to see her onstage and predicted a few Tony nominations coming her way next year.

“She is SEATED to secure that tony nomination next year,” one said.

Another wrote, “So ready for her tony wins next year!!!”

A fitting before the event seemed to be a waste of Maya Rudolph’s precious time.

The star, who presented at the award ceremony, hit the red carpet in a tank-style black Chanel Fall 2026 gown.

With a low, elongated waistline, the material of the dress hung loosely without any defined structure or shape.

“She knows her way around a tent,” one joked.

“The Look at Me cult,” one commented on a video of Maya posing with Cole Escola, while another commented, “a waste of precious time.”

Dylan Mulvaney was dressed in a red gown from Christian Siriano that the internet described as “awful taste but great execution.”

“The skirt looks like it should go under the Christmas tree,” one said, while a hater snarked, “What a narcissistic puke.”

“Something about the proportions is so off here,” said another. “Also the mesh neckline and ill fitting sleeves are criminal. And the hair might be better down? IDK it's not horrific but it's definitely not good.”

Another said a Christian Siriano Red Carpet outfit is “usually an easy win” but not this time.

“Both the top and skirt propositions look awful,” the Reddit user said. “The skirt is too low & the top is too low. This does nothing for Dylan’s figure. The color is too harsh for her skin.”

“And once again- we have hideous shoes that look like they were grabbed from the stylist sample bin. I guess hideous shoes are this season’s see thru / underwear dress?” they continued.

Dylan was part of the show’s star-studded opening number with P!nk, Megan Thee Stallion, Lea Michele, and more.

She was seen wearing a white “protect the dolls” T-shirt, which is a common phrase advocating safety and love for the transgender community.

Menswear, but make it confusing.

Drew Barrymore clearly wanted to switch things up a bit, choosing a Balenciaga outfit. But the look felt like two different ideas stitched together at the last minute without committing to either.

She paired her black trousers with a crisp white button-up. And then there were the white gloves and a train flowing from the back that completely changed the narrative.

Tony Award winner Sarah Paulson returned to the award show on Sunday evening as a guest presenter, wearing an Erdem Fall 2026 dress for the occasion.

The unconventional look saw a contrast between the top and bottom halves, not just in color but also in texture.

The embroidered ivory bodice added to the pink skirt had viewers saying, “Its like they had two unfinished frocks and sewed them together.”

“I love each piece separately, but it's not a harmonious pairing,” one said.

“That dress is awful,” said one critic.

“Why is it so wrinkly??” one asked, while another quipped, “Where is her PA with a fabric steamer as soon as she got out of her car?”

“Looking like the present with jello wrapped inside from Christmas Vacation,” said another.

Okay. We have to talk about the headwear happening in Jordan Roth’s look.

The four-time Tony Award-winning Broadway producer took the prize for the most baffling accessory of the night. 

Jordan wore a Maison Margiela Artisanal 2025 dress printed with fragments of 17th-century Dutch still-life paintings and overlaid with delicate, wing-like formations.

Completing the bird-printed gown was a massive wad of sheer, crumpled netting that was wrapped around Jordan’s head and face, kind of giving off DIY mosquito netting vibes.

The Maison Margiela Artisanal collection, from which Jordan picked out the dress, had themes of decay, memory and illusion woven into the pieces.

As she stepped onto the 2026 Tony Awards red carpet, Rosie O'Donnell marked her first public appearance since telling the world about her recent facelift.

Her outfit seemed a little bit like a visual traffic jam. Her geometric-design pantsuit was covered from collar to hem in a mix of grey shapes, vertical pinstripes, and random bits of mustard yellow.

She told E! News on the red carpet that she wrote a Substack post about her facelift last month because she “wanted to be truthful.”

“All that matters is truth and love,” she said. “And so I wanted to be truthful and say all the complicated emotions I had about it. I just felt it was better to be truthful than not and I didn't want some tabloid to go, ‘Gotcha!’”

The comedian said it was “very expensive,” pricier than any car she’s ever bought in her entire life.

“But I can't drive around in my face,” she added.

Presenter and performer at the 79th Tonys, Rachel Zegler was dressed in a plunging brown Michael Kors gown, with the neckline stopping right above her waist and the skirt cascading down into a small train.

She attended the show right after it was announced that she would be starring as Argentine first lady Eva Perón in the Broadway revival of Evita.

“Calling it now, this time next year she will back at the Tony’s winning for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for Evita,” one fan confidently said.

“She’s preparing for her win next year,” another agreed.

But critics called her “insufferable,” asking, “Why she is still in Hollywood?!!!!”

“Too bad she is a horrible person,” one said.

Another wrote, “Stop forcing her on us. It's not working.”

It was fun, it was flashy, but it didn’t quite hit that modern red carpet sweet spot.

Paloma Diamond, the fictional actress created by British comedian and satirist Julian Sewell, wore a gold-fringe minidress on the red carpet.

The gold fringe dress shimmered beautifully under the lights, but the overall styling left the look feeling more playful than polished.

Fans, however, were happy to see Paloma bring her confidence and style to the oh-so-glamorous Tonys. 

“You’re telling me THE Paloma Diamond was at the Tony’s?! A monumental appearance from Mother,” one said.

“You are bigger than Tony, Paloma!” added a proud fan.

Another wrote, “She made it!!!!!!”

Anna Alimani’s dress looked a little bit like it was in the blueprint phase.

She hit the carpet wearing a highly formal, sheer black mesh ball gown. 

The strapless dress featured a see-through corset bodice that flowed into a transparent, multi-tiered mesh hoop skirt, looking kind of like it didn’t pass through the final leg of production.

Rose Byrne made her way down the red carpet as a first-time nominee, earning a spot in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play category for her portrayal of Jane in the 2026 revival of Fallen Angels.

The actress posed alongside her partner, Bobby Cannavale, in a rhinestone-covered Prada dress. 

The silvery-white column gown had floral beading from top to bottom, but the black ribbon accents at the shoulders left some fans confused.

Bobby matched in his own monochromatic look, wearing an off-white-and-black Todd Snyder tuxedo.

“I love her but she looks like she’s wearing a cut of wallpaper lol,” one commented on Rose’s dress.

“The straps are… weird,” another said. “I think they’d look much better if her hair was up in a bun or something, but I’m not sure anything could make them really work for me.”

“I did not like the bows. I felt they could have been used differently or not used at all. But it is a great dress and she looks beautiful,” wrote another.

One said, “I feel like this dress washes her out.”

Bronwyn Newport served couture fairytale energy with a side of lunch on the Tonys red carpet.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star was dressed in Christian Siriano’s Spring 2025 ballg own.

She was seen posing next to the designer as she flaunted the black-and-seafoam-corseted tulle dress. 

But viewers barely focused on the embroidered gown, as their eyes were quickly dragged away by the crystal-encrusted sandwich she was holding under her arm.

“The sand which bag!! I love it she’s such a campy b*tch,” one commented online.

A Tony winner herself, Anika Noni Rose knows her way around a Broadway red carpet, but this year’s look felt a little underwhelming. 

The actress won Best Featured Actress in a Musical at the Tony Awards in 2004 for playing Emmie in Caroline, or Change, and was nominated again in 2014 for A Raisin in the Sun.

At this year’s Tony Awards show, the 53-year-old actress wore a plunging gold gown, which sounds like it could have been a guaranteed hit. But her look somehow didn’t quite hit the high note.

Tituss Burgess was yet another star who seemed to swap formal red carpet elegance for some pure late-night club vibes.

Everyone appreciates a star who completely rejects a boring old tuxedo. But the star, who hosted the pre-show Tony Awards: Act One with Laura Benanti, appeared on the red carpet with some “after-hours club host” energy.

His party vibe included a skin-tight, sheer black lace top paired with shiny satin trousers. Added to the look were some dramatic, sweeping fabric cuffs trailing from his wrists, looking a teeny bit like a sorcerer's cape.

“Ain’t feeling this getup. Nah!” one said about his look, while another wrote, “Everybody's just trying so hard now it's pathetic.”

A hater unnecessarily criticized the gender-fluid style, saying, “I prefer men who dress like men, not str*ppers on a pike!”

The cameras love a coordinated couple on the red carpet, but Carrie Coon and her husband, Tracy Letts, seemed to get two different memos.

One showed up in a traditional yawn-inducing award show look, while the other was dressed up in an experimental “deconstructed buttler” look.

Carrie wore a stiff, buttoned-up white mock turtleneck that leaned heavily towards the style of a classic waiter’s bib. The top half transitioned into a massive black satin skirt. 

Standing next to her was her husband in his perfectly standard, traditional black suit. 

“Ick,” one commented on the outfit, while another said, “The father/daughter red carpet thing is so adorbs.”

“Awful dress… sorry.. doesn’t do her justice,” one said about Carrie looking like she was ready to serve glasses of champagne to the guests. 

“Can they get any worse?” one asked.

Another wrote, “When you’d rather be at home together watching a radiance blu with the nanny and your IT guy.”
