Fashion roundup by Nicole Cimato, Michael Gilbert Wochowiak, and Vanna Deux
The 33rd Annual Artie Awards did not disappoint in terms of fashion. Green seemed to be the color of the season. And there were many floral gowns, continuing a theme we observed at this year’s Met Gala. We give you our picks of some of the standout looks of the evening.
It is incredibly hard to narrow our choices as everyone shows up in their best and ready to impress.
A chilly Artie night did not stop everyone from strutting their stuff down the red carpet to get their picture taken. Here are some of the top looks that made us do a double take.
Michele Marie Roberts
Diane Keaton, Celine Dion, and Blake lively are just a few names that pop into my head when thinking of iconic women who know how to wear a power suit and make it fashion fun and sexy. Let’s add Michele Marie Roberts to that list now. Wearing her Karl Lagerfeld, suit she won us over with her sleek confident look!
Bethany Burrows
Kermit the frog was most definitely wrong, because Bethany Burrows made green look effortlessly easy. Green seemed to be the color of the night this year. And Bethany nailed it in this kelly green layered look.
Kelly Bova
We can always count on Kelly to show up dressed to the nines. This year she channeled her inner Jessica rabbit with this fiery and daring red fitted gown. Yowza!! Awooga!!
Alexandria Watts
As we saw Alex walk up to the Arties on Monday, we all collectively ran over to her and made sure she got in front of the camera. She stunned in this off the shoulder taupe gown, which stood out amongst all the bright colors of others gowns and the red carpet. Another show-stopping moment from Alex!
Charmagne Chi
Even with her Artie hosting duties, Charmagne somehow always finds time to come visit us on the red carpet. She also always manages to find a new and exciting look, and this year was no exception with this orange asymmetrical gown. In a year with a lot of patterns and textures, this simple design stood out.
Emily Yancey
Emily was radiant in this pink empire waist gown. She shared with us that she wore a BARBIE inspired gown for Curtain Up! and wanted to have a full circle moment on the Arties red carpet this year. It was a home run for us! Red Carpet Barbie!
Jetaun Louie
Jetaun was nominated for playing Shug Avery in The Color Purple, and just like Shug she was turning everyone’s heads in this absolutely gorgeous black sheer gown complete with detailed star designs. She brought the whole look together with perfect styling and this gorgeous half up and half down hair look.
Brian Brown
Monochromatic is in this year, and Brian Brown is executing flawlessly. From head to toe, we’re obsessed. The accessorizing is perfection - from the puka shell necklace to the nary-a-scuff sneakers, Brian absolutely nailed the brief.
Kalub Michael Thompson
Normally, I find anything with a whiff of steampunk to be overwrought and costumey. But Kalub is pulling off this brocade corset ensemble in a way that should be studied by any Artie attendees. Add the touches of silver jewelry in? Chef’s kiss.
Amanda Borowski
If Amanda Borowski had a drag name, it would be Raya Sunshine. This vintage ensemble caught all our attentions the minute it showed up. Instantly recognizable, strong point of view, and styled immaculately. Easily my favorite ensemble of the night. Tens across the board.
Maria Pedro
Maria! We’ve just queened out over a girl named Maria! Obsessed with the simple styling - the dress speaks for itself. This stunner was turning heads all night. The color is an incredible choice, plus the gold pops on the wrist and the ears? I die.
The Dynamic Duo’s on the red carpet this year were in abundance
Marc Sacco and Nicholas Tolar
Marc wore a phenomenal jade colored suit with a black lace shirt underneath. The material was that of a Chanel tweed suit. And his husband Nick looked amazing in a classic fit blue suit. Sleek and sophisticated!
Jake Hayes and Alexia Guzman
Jake kept it fresh and light with his kimono inspired jacket and white pants. It was different and felt effortless. While Alexia brought the glitz and the glam wearing a form fitting silver sequined down.
Rolando Gomez and Maria Del Pilar Perez
This beautiful couple knows exactly what it means to dress to impress. Going with a tan and gold look, they complement one another in theme and color. It felt light, airy, and elegant! Maria was stunning in her chiffon beaded strapless gown.
Joe Siracuse and Sofia Matlasz
This year’s Met Gala had a theme of Garden in Time which brought out all the floral dresses, so it was no surprise when we saw many floral gowns at the Artie’s this year. Sofia Matlasz wore a gorgeous pink and red floral gown with pleated bodice. Her husband Joe complimented her nicely bringing a gorgeous shade of green in his suit.
Sean Ryan & Josh Matecki
While we love traditional ties, bow ties, etc. it was great to see so many men going with untraditional bases to their suits. We loved this sheer jeweled shirt that Sean chose to wear under his blue suit, which also featured a unique lapel - making it further stand out from the crowd. He was well complimented by his boyfriend Josh in this well fit vest/shirt combination.
Kristin Bentley & Chris Avery
Kristin always enjoys bringing something exciting to the red carpet, and we loved this gorgeous homage to The Color Purple, which was co-produced by Second Generation Theatre. The blend of colors in the flowers are stunning and the leg slit gives it just enough drama. She was well complimented by her fiancé Chris in a blue suit (complete with SGT pin!).
Ricky & Rhiannon Needham
Ricky & Rhiannon always brings it on the red carpet, so we were excited to see what they would have for us this year. We fell in love with this red dress on Rhiannon, and this checkered suit on Ricky. They easily stood out amongst the crowd. Ricky’s tie provided a nice touch - it more closely matches his wife hair than her dress.
Ariana Lasting and Lex Miller
Florals? For the Arties? Addicted. Sign me up for an Angelina leg any day of the weeks too. The sheer dress with the stunning floral appliqués EASILY made its way onto our list. Brava darling.
Cassie Cameron and Keelie Sheridan
As a woman of a certain age, I love a full coverage gown. But it can often feel distinctly unsexy. Cassie Cameron and Keelie Sheridan are the antithesis. These gowns are utter perfection. The fabulous colors with an unexpected cut of gown had heads turning all night.
Next Gen Glamour
We can’t forget the younger crowd that not only showed up but put the adults to shame with their style and confidence!!
Daniel Pitirri
This young man exudes style and comfort on our red carpet.
Carter Riccio
Tom cruise has nothing on this kid! Look at those Maverick sunglasses.
Oliver Parzy-Sanders
Oliver was representing his kinky boots family! They owned the red carpet in this metallic blue paisley jacket and those red jeweled high heels. Werk!!
Johnny Kiener
Another Kinky Boots cast member paying tribute in his purple suit and chunky high heeled boot. And who better to work the red carpet with other than his mother Jennifer Sperrazza Kiener.
