Best Dressed Broadway Actors

Posted: 6/1/06 at 12:06pm

Both times I have seen John Lloyd Young in person he is always so impeccably dressed, not to mention all of the great ties he has in all of the pictures of him at various events.

Who do you think are the best dressed actors on Broadway?

Raul Esparza. He can't go wrong with a button down stripe-y shirt.

Definitely Brian Stokes Mitchell. He always looks impeccable, even in rehearsal - freshly pressed, always beatifully put together. He also has the distinction to be one of the only men I've ever seen who can wear sandals (not flip-flops) and still look elegant.

Raul Esparza, hands down. Does the man ever NOT look fashionable? He even looked good in a "Navy" t-shirt, however ironic that might be...

I think Brent Barrett is my favorite dresser.
Taye D- He always looks like he stepped off a runway.
When I saw him a few years ago at the Obies I almost fainted.
That man is gorgeous.

Christine Ebersole. She is very classy and always looks stunning.

Ebersole is a very elegant woman.
Whoever told her she was over the hill should be shot.

Chita Rivera.

One of the only people I know who still dresses-up to go to work. And it was a very nice pant suit too.

oh and as far as "Just-did-a-show-and-now-I-have-to-meet-people-at-the-stage-door" looks:

Kristoffer Cusick and Telly Leung

they always manage to look very casual but stylish at the stage door, even though everyone else comes out in sweats and stuff (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with that...cuz that's how I'd look).

I totally agree on John Lloyd Young. Christian Hoff has also looked sharp each time I've seen him outside the show.

I think Anthony Rapp has a unique and classy sense of style.

I have to add Idina too. Her dress on the Today show yesterday was so cute!

John Lloyd Young, definitely.

As for actresses, I love Stephanie D'Abruzzo's dresses and Lauren Molina's all-around style... so artsy.

EDIT... forgot Jesse Tyler Ferguson! Those glasses do it for me.

Definitely Kerry Butler, in my opinion.

She dresses so beautiful, especially when she's out walking. I bumped into her once and she was wearing a mid-length red strapless dress. Looked beautiful.

And one time after I saw Miracle Brothers and I met her and I played for her, she wore this absolutely beautiful full-circle skirt with peasant designs. That skirt looked absolutely beautful, and I think that was one of the best things I've seen her wear ever.

Yeah, Kerry is probably the best dressed actress on Broadway. I bet some people would agree with me, if not a lot.

BARRET FOA. I have a picture of us together and my friend was like that guy is Seth Cohen (pardon the OC reference) dressed but much much hotter. And then I realized, it's not just how beautiful he is... it's his amazing style!

Carolee Carmello always looks phenominal. Kelly Ohara always looks so conservatively professional and Audra McDonald does as well.


Can't say the same about Amy Spanger. Anyone remember that black outfit with the white shoes? ugh.
