You know it's going to be a night for the record books when Neil Patrick Harris steps out on stage to host anything, especially the Tony Awards, for the fourth time. His opening sketch had the entire audience giving him a standing ovation for nearly fifteen minutes. You go, NPH.
"Kinky Boots" was the clear winner, taking home six Tony's, including Best Musical, one of the more coveted awards of the show. But what's a musical without a score? Enter Cyndi Lauper.
Cyndi went through a costume change herself a couple of times. She wore Valentino and many more throughout the evening.
She's more than just "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." The 80's icon accepted her award quite choked up; thanking first her mother and then every member of the cast and crew for their hard work and dedication to the show.
If you've never heard of "Kinky Boots" before, it's a remake of the 2005 film in which a factory owner saves his failing business by changing the company into a fetish footwear shop for cross-dressers.

There are few things in this world we love more than the red carpet. And we're not allowed to put those few things on here. Check out some of the most beautiful looks from the night.
The stunning Anna Kendrick in a Donna Karan Atelier dress
Matthew Morrison in a Brooks Brothers suit and striped cummerbund
The beautiful Sienna Miller in a Burberry dress
Scarlett Johansson making hearts stop in her Saint Laurent dress and blazer, too bad she couldn't make hearts stop with her thespian career. Sucks to suck Scarlett.
Cicely Tyson, showing off her Tony and a bold ruffled purple gown. It was a bold step for Cicely, but an even bolder step for fashion.
Debra Messing in a Matthew Christopher Marchi Sobaski dress that is both cute and chic. Drobe Approved!
Jane Lynch in a great looking Dolce and Gabbana three-piece suit, simple, elegant, and probably more comfortable than anyone else's stuff.
Judith Light in a elegant long white gown by Zac Posen, and you cannot go wrong with that look.
Sigourney Weaver stayed simple in this blue Michael Kors dress.
We'll see you on the next red carpet, Drobers. Stay chic.
With Style,
Your MyDROBE Team
