The host brought along husband Carey Hart and their children for her major Tony debut.
Meanwhile, Rose Byrne, who is nominated this year for her Broadway debut in Fallen Angels, stunned in a monochromatic coordinated look alongside longtime partner Bobby Cannavale.
The Bridesmaids star’s polished ensemble leaned classic Old Hollywood while still keeping things modern and sharp.
Sarah Paulson also turned heads with a colorful fashion-forward ensemble that instantly became one the favorites from fans.
But one of the biggest buzz moments came courtesy of Aubrey Plaza, who officially debuted her pregnancy on the red carpet while attending with her partner, Christopher Abbott.
