After feeling traumatized by Amanda Seyfried’s look on the red carpet at the 2012 Tony Awards, held at the Beacon Theatre in New York City last night, Bernadette Peters injected some much needed glamour to this event.
The actress wore a Donna Karan purple strapless gown, which appeared to be inspired by Look 41 from the Spring 2012 collection.
Her mermaid gown with a tiered hemline and folded detail on the bodice was styled with her signature red ringlets in an updo with tendrils framing her face, David Webb jewels plus a gold box clutch.
Now this is what the Tony Awards is all about.

Is it me or is it the same dress Nina Dobrev wore at the Emmys???
Yes! I thought the same
It definitely looks like the same dress. It seems as though it’s creased though ):
I think so but in purple
I thought the same thing- she looks amazing here.
+1 I think it looks exactly the same! The purple is nice, although the style of the dress doesn’t really work for me. The hair is quite bad.
The gown looks great on her, but I really dislike the hairstyle. I have natural curls and I would never style my hair like this.
Btw, I think the gown is also similar to Nina Dobrev’s Donna Karan gown at the Emmy Awards last year.
I agree.
Ah, this is what class looks like.
+1
She looks beautiful and elegant. Love. And I’m so upset that this is so similar to Nina Dobrev’s look. She really does look amazing.
Great gown and choice of accessories. Her signature red ringlets inject personality into the look. The similarity to Nina’s gown doesn’t ruin it for me. I like this look on Bernadette, beautiful.
