Emerald Glam Takes Center Stage at the 2026 Tony Awards
At the 79th Tony Awards in NYC, Black stars lit the red carpet with bold, stylish looks—from Paul Tazewell's glittery emerald blazer and Kara Young's green gown to Qween Jean's blush pink dress and Amber Ruffin's polka-dot fishtail—while history was made as Qween Jean became the first openly transgender Tony winner; Joshua Henry took home Best Leading Actor in a Musical for Ragtime, underscoring a night of Black excellence on Broadway.
