Vogue editor Wintour helps Tony stars scorch the red carpet

New York

THE stars strutted down the Tony Awards' red carpet, including nominees who got an able assist from Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who a year ago proclaimed the annual event a fashion disaster in need of help.

No one look predominated. Hemlines and necklines varied. Colours ran the gamut from vivid reds, pinks and greens to neutral beige. Fabrics were alternately floral, solid or embossed, and there was a smattering of metallics. Heidi Chronicles Best Actress nominee Elisabeth Moss chose a white, sleeveless Oscar de la Renta boldly embroidered with colourful flowers and vines in deep pink, yellow and green.
