There was no shortage of glamour on the Tony Awards red carpet.

Leading the red carpet fashions were celebrity Broadway fans Jennifer Lopez and Kendall Jenner who both looked stunning in chic but conservative ensembles while the night's co-host Kristin Chenoweth, 46, stood out in a sparkling silver Zac Posen design.

J Lo swapped out her usual nearly naked dresses for a more princess themed Valentino gown. The mother-of-two arrived just moments before the start of the show, shutting down the red carpet in a stunning sequined gown.
The American Idol judge complimented her navy sparkler with a deep red lip for elegant dramatic effect.
Another sequined stunner was Kendall Jenner, 19, who donned a custom Calvin Klein long sleeve mini dress.
Her upper body may have been covered but she made sure to display her mile long legs in a strappy metallic heels.

Tony winners Alan and Kristin co-host the show which will be broadcast live on CBS television, while Lopez will be introducing one of the night's big musical performances, Finding Neverland.
The best musical prize has turned into a race with An American in Paris, with a score by George and Ira Gershwin, and the lesbian coming-out story Fun Home in the lead.
An American in Paris had a slight edge among a poll of 14 theater experts on the awards show tracking website Goldderby.com.

'It's the big commercial hit, American in Paris versus the small, critical darling, Fun Home,' said Paul Sheehan, Gold Derby's executive editor.
Producer Debbie Bisno described 2014-2015, in which attendance topped 13.1 million and grosses soared to $1.36 billion, as 'an incredibly robust, creative season.'
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, a British import about a 15-year-old math whiz with Asperger Syndrome, is the top bet to take home the Tony for best play.
Its young star, recent Juilliard School graduate Alex Sharp, could also top multiple Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper as the physically deformed male in The Elephant Man and English actor Bill Nighy's wealthy restaurateur in Skylight for the best actor award in a play.
'It's a slam dunk (for the play) and it is a slam dunk for him,' Playbill magazine's Harry Haun said about Sharp. 'Every aspect of that play supports his performance.'

Oscar and Emmy winner Helen Mirren seems the one to beat for the best actress prize for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in The Audience, outpacing Carey Mulligan's inner-city schoolteacher in Skylight and Elisabeth Moss in the feminist play The Heidi Chronicles.
'It's the right time. It's the right showcase for her and it is deserved,' said Sheehan. 'This play looks at 60-plus years in the life of the queen. It is an extraordinary performance.'
For best actor in a musical, most experts predict it will be close call between Michael Cerveris, up for his second Tony as the closeted homosexual father in Fun Home, and ballet dancer Robert Fairchild in his Broadway debut in An American in Paris.
In the best actress in a musical category Chenoweth will be battling for her second Tony as a Hollywood star in On the Twentieth Century, against Kelli O'Hara, nominated for the sixth time for The King and I, and Broadway veteran Chita Rivera, who could nab her third Tony for The Visit.'

'I think in the end Kristin Chenoweth will have a pair of Tonys at home,' said Joe Dziemianowicz of New York's Daily News newspaper.
'The King and I' is the likely front-runner for the Tony for best musical revival against On The Twentieth Century and On The Town.
Rock star Sting earned his first nomination for best original score for The Last Ship, which closed earlier this year, but many experts think Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori will win the prize for Fun Home.
'I think 'Fun Home' will win and should win,' said Dziemianowicz.
Meanwhile, Chenoweth's co-hosts were Alan Cumming, Jessie Mueller, and James Monroe Iglehart.
