Tony Awards: Complete Winners List
‘Maybe Happy Ending,’ ‘Purpose,’ ‘Sunset Blvd.’ and ‘Eureka Day’ took home top prizes.
Maybe Happy Ending, Purpose, Sunset Blvd. and Eureka Day took the top prizes at the 2025 Tony Awards, winning best musical, best play (in a surprise), best musical revival and best play revival, respectively.
The Cynthia Erivo-hosted ceremony also saw The Picture of Dorian Gray‘s Sarah Snook; Oh, Mary!‘s Cole Escola; Maybe Happy Ending‘s Darren Criss and Sunset Blvd.‘s Nicole Scherzinger win the lead acting awards for plays (Snook and Escola) and musicals (Criss and Scherzinger).
Maybe Happy Ending won a total of six awards after going into the night tied with Buena Vista Social Club and Death Becomes Her for the most nominations with 10 apiece. Buena Vista Social Club won four awards, while Death Becomes Her only took home one trophy, for Paul Tazewell’s costume design, which was presented in the Tony Awards‘ Act One preshow.

‘Oh, Mary!’ Loses, Cole Triumphs And Oprah Shades Patti Lupone: The Biggest Takeaways From Tonight’s Tonys
The 78th Annual Tony Awards were generally free of snubs and shockers, but there were enough little surprises to keep things more than interesting. Oh, Mary! didn’t win Best Play? The Audra vs. Nicole contest tipped which way?? And Patti LuPone made her entrance how exactly?
But more than anything, Cynthia Erivo did an absolutely flawless job as host, no nitpicking whatsoever. This is what an awards show should look like, to cap off a Broadway season that made records financially and earned its accolades legitimately.

The One True Andy Kaufman: A New Doc Uses Private Tapes to Capture His Genius, Kindness, and Chaos
Andy Kaufman Is Me, which premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival today, has heavyweight producers in David Letterman and Dwayne Johnson.
Who was the real Andy Kaufman? It’s a question that had people scratching their heads even before the actor/performance artist—who was often pigeonholed as being a comedian, much to his own chagrin—passed away in 1984 at the age of 35. Within his too-short lifetime, the Taxi star managed to pack in a lifetime’s worth of rich material that we’re still analyzing today. Whether he was lip-synching the Mighty Mouse theme song—specifically, the chorus—wrestling women as the self-proclaimed Intergender Wrestling Champion of the World, reading The Great Gatsby in its entirety to an audience, crooning as an obnoxious lounge singer named Tony Clifton, or taking the entire audience of Carnegie Hall out for milk and cookies, Kaufman is still keeping us guessing as to what is and isn’t real.

The ‘pageboy bob’ is trending for girls who like soft layers
Fun and flirty.
The prerequisite haircut for summer has always been the bob. But this year, we’re going shorter and more playful with the pageboy bob.
A ‘60s hairstyle made famous by the likes of Princess Diana and The Beatles, “the traditional pageboy bob featured a rounded, ear-to-shoulder length with inward-curled blunt ends and a heavy fringe,” says Elliot Bute, a stylist at London-based salon Hershesons.
Fun fact: It got its name from a hairstyle worn by English pageboys in the medieval era. But don’t worry things have changed a lot since then and today’s pageboy bob centres on soft layers and a modern, low-maintenance style that’s a whole lot more wearable.

How to style a shirt dress like a true fashion pro
My advice? Start with the shoes.
Merriam-Webster defines the shirt dress as “a tailored dress patterned after a shirt and having buttons down the front.” But I’m a firm believer that any shirt can turn into a shirt dress, if you try hard enough — tank tops, button-downs, vintage band tees, cardigans, flannels, oversized sweaters, etc. The difficulty is just in knowing how to style a shirt dress once you’ve successfully converted it.
Style it too sparingly, and you could end up looking like you forgot to wear pants (and not in a chic, Kendall Jenner kind of way). Pair it with trousers — and, well, then it just looks like a really big shirt. So, how should you style a shirt dress? For the most part, it comes down to choosing the right pair of statement shoes, like knee-high boots, sparkly pumps, or toe ring sandals. After that, it’s the smaller elements that matter.

‘Princess nails’ are the barely-there manis taking over your FYPs
Short but sweet.
Summery temperatures beg for low-maintenance beauty looks. Bobs rule supreme, fingers work just as well as a brush for blusher and now ‘princess nails’ are emerging as the latest manicure trend to go viral on TikTok.
While we’ve seen the rise in popularity of the Japanese and Italian manicure, ‘it girls’ such as Daisy Edgar Jones and Alexa Chung are cosigning princess nails as the cool Brit-girl version. And it’s hardly surprising, says celebrity nail pro Julia Diogo (a.k.a @paintedbyjools), “because who doesn’t want the perfect pinky nude manicure?”

17 best blushes I’ve tested – from creams to liquids & powders
Tried-and-true blushes we can’t get enough of.
Be it a gentle halo of pink, a vibrant pop of coral, or a foolproof peachy hue, choosing one of the best blushes is guaranteed to elevate your makeup in the most effortless way possible. “Blush should give your face a healthy touch, like you’ve got a lot of oxygen in your skin,” says professional MUA Gucci Westman, whose client list includes Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lawrence and Cameron Diaz.

Mocha Bronde is Summer’s Chicest Hair Colour—and Kate Middleton is a Fan
If it’s good enough for a duchess
From crème brûlée to butter biscuit blonde, 2025 has been an incredible year for delicious hair colour trends. And while there was a time where complicated colouring techniques and more experimental shades reigned supreme, there’s one thing that has united this year’s more popular shades—their wearability. Gone are harsh highlights and dramatic balayage and, in their place, more subtle bronzing techniques to achieve a natural, lived-in look.

I’m Over Pastel Manicures—Sorbet Nails Are The Sweetest Nail Trend To Wear This Summer
Slushy-inspired nails are in
At my latest nail appointment, I did something completely out of character. As I thumbed through the nail colours placed in front of me, knowing I was undoubtedly going to plump for my usual milky pink hue, something came over me—it was time for a change. Maybe it was the sun shining outside or the fact that I’d just returned from a relaxing two-week holiday, but for whatever reason, I found myself feeling emboldened. And the nail trend that convinced me? Sorbet nails.

The 14 Biggest Easter Eggs In The ‘Wicked: For Good’ Trailer
Let’s break down all the details.
Just when the world stopped holding space for Wicked, the frenzy is about to kick back up again. The first trailer for the movie musical sequel, Wicked: For Good, was released last night, giving us our first glimpse of Elphaba and Glinda after that infamous ‘AhhAAAHAAAAAHH!’ at the end of ‘Defying Gravity.’
As we see in the footage, the former best friends’ relationship has completely changed. Elphaba is public enemy number one, Glinda is walking down the aisle to marry Fiyero, and now a girl named Dorothy is in the picture. Fans of the Broadway musical know how this story ends, and they’re probably already familiar with some of the tunes that appear in the trailer, like ‘No Good Deed’ and, of course, ‘For Good.’
Let’s break down some key details and takeaways from the trailer.

‘AJLT’: Here’s Where You’ve Seen Carrie’s Hot Gardener (And Tom Hardy Lookalike) Logan Marshall-Green Before
It’s a tough time being a fan of And Just Like That… and its leading lady, Carrie Bradshaw. So far this season we’ve had that hand lick, a bonnet and in episode two, we had to withstand a plague of rats. But thankfully, Carrie finally came up with the goods hiring landscape architect to the stars, Adam Gardens, played by Logan Marshall-Green.

Miley Cyrus Was Heckled Into Singing at Her Film Premiere—and Fans Are Calling Out ‘Entitled’ Behavior
Many of the pop star’s fans do not approve of what went down at the Something Beautiful premiere.
Miley Cyrus, get behind me.
On June 6, Cyrus was heckled by audience members after the world premiere of her 55-minute visual album, Something Beautiful, at the Tribeca Film Festival. Following the screening, Cyrus took the stage at the Beacon Theater to discuss the film with producer Panos Cosmatos, but that wasn’t good enough for some attendees.
In one TikTok compilation video shared by @mileyeditions, the conversation was disrupted by multiple audience members who believed Cyrus was going to sing live at the event. “We thought this was a concert,” one fan could be heard yelling. “We paid $800.”
Another yelled, “Are you actually gonna sing?” prompting other members of the audience to begin shouting.

Here’s What Mushroom Coffee Can (and Can’t) Do for You
The truth behind the trend you keep seeing on your feed.
Mushroom coffee certainly is having its moment. As Tastewise noted in its Q2 Food Trends Report, consumer interest in mushroom drinks has grown by 52% year-over-year. While these beverages are certainly not new — ancient Chinese texts refer to reishi as the “king of herbal medicines” — it seems that fungi-focused drinks are going mainstream.
But what is mushroom coffee, really? And can it actually deliver on all the promises made by marketers? Here’s what you need to know about mushroom coffee before you begin brewing it for yourself.

Kim Novak to Receive Venice Film Festival Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement
“Inadvertently becoming a screen legend, Kim Novak was one of the most beloved icons of an entire era of Hollywood films.”
Legendary Hollywood actress Kim Novak (Vertigo, Picnic, Bell, Book and Candle) will be awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival of La Biennale di Venezia (Aug. 27 – Sept. 6).

Pride and Prejudice: Indian royal Manvendra Singh Gohil on being the world’s first openly gay prince
For Pride Month, we revisit this Tatler interview from the January 2021 issue. When Prince Manvendra came out as gay, many hailed him as a hero – but his family disowned him
Coming out to one’s parents is hard enough at the best of times. For Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil, who was born into one of India’s royal dynasties, it was nearly life-destroying.
Speaking exclusively to Tatler from Rajvant Palace, his family’s grand residence in Gujarat, western India, the 55-year-old prince recalls how having a breakdown in the early 2000s set him on a path that led to his being crowned one of the country’s leading LGBTQ+ rights activists and hailed by many as the only openly gay prince in the world.
By 2002, Prince Manvendra was certain he was gay, having been attracted to men for years. But he had no idea how his deeply traditional parents, the Maharana and Maharani of Rajpipla, would take the news. His honesty was not rewarded. ‘My mother and father demanded I have surgery or shock therapy to be cured,’ he says.

Best and Worst Moments From the 2025 Tony Awards
There was a “Hamilton” reunion, Nicole Scherzinger’s outsize grandeur and Cynthia Erivo’s pleasant “sing-off” music. But those cheesy projections were a big miss.
Best Epic Acceptance: Nicole Scherzinger
Nicole Scherzinger’s acceptance speech was as epically demonstrative as her movements in “Sunset Boulevard” are controlled, restrained, precise. The acknowledging of “the exceptional warrior women in this category”! The shaking! The crying! The swooping motions from the hand that was not holding her new award! At times it felt like seeing a modern Maria Callas shaking her fist at the heavens, except that for once those heavens had ruled in her favor. There was an outsize grandeur to the drama of it all that felt classical. Can Medea be far off?

The Best, Worst and Most Oops Moments of the 2025 Tony Awards

When you put some of the world’s best actors and best singers in one room, you’re sure to have a memorable show, and the 2025 Tony Awards did not disappoint.
Hosted by Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo — who is no stranger to the stage herself after having starred in The Color Purple back in 2015 — this year’s Tony Awards were full of tear-jerking moments. From Sarah Snook’s touching acceptance speech to Audra McDonald’s rendition of “Rose’s Return,” to Francis Jue’s sweet homage.
However, with so much going on, some hilariously unplanned and unscripted moments made for good TV — we’re looking at you, Cole Escola!

The Benefits of Mustard—From the Jar in Your Fridge to Seeds and Greens
The mustard plant is packed with omega-3s, fiber, and antioxidants.
It’s easy to overlook the benefits of mustard—especially if you regard it as a one-note condiment best slathered on hot dogs and pastrami sandwiches. But mustard means more than just the jars in your fridge. It turns out that the condiment, plus all parts of the plant from seeds to greens, have dietary advantages. We spoke to registered dietitians to get the lowdown.

15 Most Beautiful Beach Towns Around the World
From an island off of North Carolina to a coastal village on Japan’s Izu Peninsula, these are the most beautiful beach towns in the world.
The beauty of a beach town is multifaceted. On one hand, there are all of the natural elements—whether it’s the shimmering blue waters, the white-sand beaches, or the rocky coastline. On the other hand, you have the human-made features: the charming cottages, the boats bobbing in the harbor, and the boardwalks sandwiched between the sea and the oceanfront structures. This combination breeds an inherently relaxed atmosphere, one where you can’t help but slow down and appreciate the splendor around you

This Charming Town Is an Easy Day Trip From NYC or Philadelphia—and It Has 70+ Miles of Scenic Trails, Americana Vibes, and a Gorgeous Riverfront
Frenchtown, New Jersey, is giving idyllic Americana.
When I tell people I live in Frenchtown, New Jersey, I usually get a blank stare. But this tiny riverfront town—just over an hour’s drive from both New York City and Philadelphia—is the kind of place that captivates. My parents moved here nearly 20 years ago after a weekend getaway. I loved bringing friends to stroll the pretty bridge, sip coffee from local roasters, and browse the bookstores and boutiques. It made for a perfect day trip from New York City, our home for more than a decade.
