Ariana DeBose made a sensational appearance on the star-studded red carpet at the 77th annual Tony Awards last night.

The Oscar-winning actress and Broadway star, who hosted the show for the third consecutive year in a row, arrived in an Oscar de la Renta gown and Aquazzura shoes. Her strapless, multicolored dress featuring a full skirt paid homage to Tiffany’s iconic stained glass windows. The silver sandals she wore still managed to pop thanks to their shimmering crystal design.

DeBose sported the celebrity-favorite shoe brand’s “Ari” sandals for the special night. The style is crafted with mirror-like metallic leather soles, crystalized cut-out straps and sharp stiletto heels measuring over 4 inches.

Shiny metallic leather laces that tie at the ankle to hold the foot in place complete the look. The exact sandals are currently on sale, marked down from $1,595 to $960, on aquazzura.com.

The “West Side Story” star pulled things together with an elegant, minimalist updo, a slicked-back ponytail secured with a black bow, that showed off her diamond drop earrings.

During the awards ceremony, she changed outfits multiple times. DeBose hit the stage in a silver metallic gown and matching platform sandals, a black gown with wooden block platform heels, and a gold number with gold closed-toe pumps featuring a crisscross strap design.

The latter was worn during the show’s opening number, in which she made a splash performing “This Party’s For You.”
