The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre (a.k.a Tony Award) recognizes achievement in live Broadway theatre. The 70th Tony Awards were held on June 12, 2016 at the Beacon Theatre, Manhattan, NYC.

Musical Hamilton received a record-setting 16 nominations in 13 categories - winning 11 of them - including for
Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical for US actor and rapper Daveed Diggs.

Daveed's part as French aristocrat and military officer Marquis de Lafayette won him the award and his choice of attire for the Tony award Red carpet won our attention. He wore a double-breasted dark gray men's suit, which accents were the sleeves in floral motifs, big dots and snake skin effect patterns.

We like Daveed's experiment and encourage more celebrities to be braver and try something different for their next Red carpet appearance.
