On April 30, the Tony nominations were announced. Soon after, on May 2, the newly minted Tony nominees stepped out to introduce themselves to the media, in the annual Tony Awards Meet the Nominees press junket, held at the Sofitel hotel.
And they did so in style. There, Eddie Redmayne showed up in a sweater with puppies on it (he was styled by Harry Lambert, who also oversees Harry Styles' looks). Purlie Victorious star Kara Young wore a matching shirt-and-pants set that featured the face of Ruby Dee (the original star of Purlie Victorious). See those and other moments in the red carpet below, in photos taken by Playbill's Vi Dang.
