2026 Tony Awards: Lots of Sparkle and Polish in Earrings

By Karen Dybis | June 08, 2026

Broadway’s finest showed the power of the earring, wearing an array of styles—bold, long, polished, and often loaded with diamonds—to the 2026 Tony Awards last night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

A good example was the pair with pear-shape diamond drops worn by Caissie Levy (pictured), who took home one of the four Tonys won by the revival of Ragtime, for best actress in a musical (her costar Joshua Henry won best actor). Levy’s Bibendum earrings by Lauren Adriana, from Fred Leighton, also featured black DLC rondelles.

There were also those horn-shaped diamond earrings on pop star Pink, who hasn’t performed on Broadway but impressed all in her debut as a major awards-show host. The Rainbow K earrings brought both rock-and-roll energy and elegance to one of Pink’s many looks for the night.

With multiple outfit changes and an aerial opening act, the singer set the stage for a night of fashion and theater excitement. There were special tunes for the show from the Tony- and Oscar-winning songwriting team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land), big wins for acting legends John Lithgow (Giant) and Laurie Metcalf (Death of a Salesman), and more than a smidge of Schmigadoon! to go around.

One jewelry favorite was Christiani Pitts, a nominee for her leading role in the musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York). Her stylists Tsigie White + Darryl Glover selected Oscar Heyman jewelry, including stunning statement pieces for the ear, neck, and finger, to pair with her Marchesa dress.

“As a New York brand, we always look forward to the celebration of the city that is the Tony Awards,” Tom Heyman, president of Oscar Heyman, tells JCK. “This is a first for us, though: This year, we had two Tony nominees sparkling in Oscar Heyman jewelry on the red carpet.” The brand also accessorized Rachel Dratch, a supporting-actress nominee for The Rocky Horror Show.

“Interestingly, both actresses chose diamond necklaces, but each completed the look with color, in distinctive one-of-a-kind cocktail rings,” Heyman says. “Rachel’s ring features a rare and stunning cat’s-eye alexandrite. Christiani accented the pink hues in her Marchesa gown with a beautiful 15 ct. pink tourmaline. Both ladies looked amazing in their own unique way.”

Here are some other jewelry looks from the Tonys that caught JCK’s eye.

Paulson, a Tony presenter this year and winner two years ago for Appropriate, wore Boucheron—including its Plume de Paon pendent earrings set with more than 7 cts. diamonds, as well as the Vendôme Liseré morganite ring in white gold with diamonds and black lacquer.
