Fashion Editor Anna Wintour Approves Tony Noms for the Awards Runway

As previously announced, Vogue editor and fashion mogul Anna Wintour will be The Tony Awards newest consultant. And according to the New York Post, she's already started prepping this year's nominees for the red runway.

American Theatre Wing chair and Tony-winning costume designer William Ivey Long (currently represented on Broadway by IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU, ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY and CABARET) reportedly asked Wintour "to help make his red carpet...more chic."

Wintour has allegedly met with FUN HOME's young actors Emily Skeggs and Sydney Lucas, as well as AN AMERICAN IN PARIS' Leanne Cope and HAND TO GOD's Steven Boyer so far.

Vogue will be paying for their gowns, etc., and all their accessories. Rumor is Wintour, who attended several Broadway openings this season, will ask many of the nominees to wear one outfit on the red carpet and another for the telecast.

The Post speculates that THE KING AND I's Kelli O'Hara, CONSTELLATIONS' Ruth Wilson, AN AMERICAN IN PARIS choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, CURIOUS INCIDENT's Alex Sharp, SKYLIGHT's Carey Mulligan & Bill Nighy and THE ELEPHANT MAN's Bradley Cooper will be among Wintour's other models next month.

Which stars -- wearing which Wintour-approved designers -- do you most want to see on the Tonys red carpet on June 7?

Tony Award winners Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming will host the 69th Annual Tony Awards, broadcast live from Radio City Musical Hall in New York City on Sunday, June 7, 2015, at 8pm EST on CBS. The Tony Awards, which honors theater professionals for distinguished achievement on Broadway, has been broadcast on CBS since 1978. The Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing.
