Sarah Paulson Stands Out In Erdem At The Tony Awards
Given her strong ties to Broadway, and her 2024 Tony Award win for Best Leading Actress in a Play for Appropriate, Sarah Paulson returned to the Tony Awards on Sunday evening as a guest presenter.
The actress wore an Erdem Fall 2026 dress for the occasion, continuing her affinity for looks with an offbeat, slightly unconventional silhouette that feels entirely aligned with her personal style.
What makes this dress interesting is the contrast between the top and bottom halves, not only in colour but also in texture. The embroidered ivory bodice feels refined and romantic, while the pink skirt introduces a sense of disruption through its crinkled finish, raw hemline and oversized scarlet ribbon detailing.
That push and pull between elegance and eccentricity is something I often associate with Sarah’s fashion choices. Much like the characters she gravitates towards on screen, her red-carpet style rarely takes the most obvious route. There is usually an unexpected element that keeps the look from feeling too sweet, or too predictable.
I feel like this is a dress that many would struggle to pull off as it asks a lot of its wearer. Keira Knightley is perhaps one of the few others I can imagine making a convincing case for it.
Yet on Sarah, the dress feels believable, because the mix of romance, individuality and slight oddness has long been part of her style vocabulary.
Boucheron jewels and Aquazzura Tequila sandals completed her look.
