Stars stay classy in glam gowns at Tony Awards 2008

Brooke Shields arrives at New York's Radio City Music Hall for the 62nd annual Tony Awards on June 15, 2008. The evening was hosted by Tony-winner Whoopi Goldberg.

It was a fashion disaster-free night at Sunday's Tony Awards, even though one actress lost her Chanel the night before.

After an airliner lost her luggage — and dress — Alice Eve ("Rock 'n' Roll") said she remedied what could have been a disastrous situation by venturing Sunday to a Prada store for a replacement frock.

Eve's choice: A flapper-style dress in champagne-hued satin and black trim, and black and gold heels by Christian Louboutin, whose red-soled party shoes have become an awards show mainstay.

Presenter Marisa Tomei stepped up the drama in a sweeping red dress with embroidered black flowers, while Brooke Shields looked chic in a black sequin jumpsuit by Proenza Schouler.

Martha Plimpton, nominated for featured actress in a play for "Top Girls," arrived with her father, actor Keith Carradine, at Radio City Music Hall in a silver mermaid dress designed by Carolina Herrera.

"I just wanted to look simple and striking — that's all I wanted, and Carolina's the perfect person for that," said Plimpton, wearing chandelier earrings from jeweler Fred Leighton.

Laura Bell Bundy, who portrays Elle Woods in the Broadway musical version of "Legally Blonde," wore an understated black dress with a lace bodice.

Unlike her fuschia-loving alter ego, Bundy was going for "anything other than pink. ... I was like, `Give me something black!'"

Also in black: presenter and Tony-winning actress Kristen Chenoweth, who went with a simple black gown by Nicole Miller and brought boyfriend Charlie McDowell as an accessory.

Some of the stage's most talented performers attended the Tony Awards last night, but because I suspect few of you are interested in Jack Klugman's style, I thought we'd talk about Brooke Shields.

There's no question that she's one hot mama, and her famously thick brows look just as great now as they did when she was a teenager. Brooke doesn't usually pull out this much eyeliner, though, so it's a change of pace. Do you like it, or is it too much?

Mary-Louise Parker went the opposite route with a short dress, one of the few on the red carpet. We love seeing a curvy woman over 30 in Hollywould showing off her legs and a bit of cleavage to boot. The dress is tres sexy but still appropriate.
