Katie Holmes brought a burst of bold color to the 2025 Tony Awards, embracing an unexpected pink-and-green ensemble that turned heads at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.

The Broadway star, who was presenting at the ceremony, channeled summer vibes with a custom Prada two-piece that felt like a whimsical nod to Wicked’s iconic color palette. 

Her look featured a shiny emerald green taffeta top with a boxy silhouette, puffy sleeves, and a delicate bow detail on the back, perfectly paired with a floor-length blush pink satin skirt lavishly embroidered with crystal feather motifs.

The contrast between the minimalist top and the heavily embellished skirt gave the right amount of theatrical flair for Broadway’s biggest night. Known for her love for theater, Holmes recently wrapped up her time in the revival of 'Our Town' at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, a production that starred Jim Parsons and Zoey Deutch alongside her.

While 'Our Town' earned a Best Revival nomination, Holmes herself has a rich theater history, having appeared in 'All My Sons' (2008), 'Dead Accounts' (2012), and the off-Broadway play 'The Wanderers '(2023).

While some fashion critics criticized her outfit choice, the actress continues to shine on and off the red carpet with her bold looks, as she is not afraid to have fun with her ensembles.

Her accessories were understated but elegant, featuring diamond stud earrings and rings by Dana Rebecca Designs and sparkling Rahaminov Diamonds. She kept her makeup glowing and fresh, complemented by a loose low bun, completing the radiant look.

This Tony Awards marked Holmes’s return to the event after 15 years. Back in 2010, she graced the red carpet in a gray strapless gown featuring crisscross detailing and a pleated skirt, showing that her style evolution has only grown more adventurous as time passes.
