"    Photo: Getty Images   Broadway had a fashion moment at The American Theatre Wing&amp;#039;s Tony Awards, making Kinky Boots its top winner of the evening with six awards, including Best Musical, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, and Best Original Score Written for the Theatre for Cyndi Lauper. There was a whole lot of love on the red carpet for the creators of this show Harvey Fierstein and Lauper, in a black lace Valentino jumpsuit. The crowd gathered on Sixth Avenue across from Radio City Music Hall let out roars of cheers each time Lauper crossed to the edge of the red carpet to wave to them. Cuba Gooding Jr. gave Lauper Jerry Maguire-style kisses, blowing them from his fingers in rapid-fire pace from across the carpet. Mike Tyson also cut through a crowd to pay homage to the fiery red head.   Fresh off a one-man show on Broadway, the boxer-turned-performer admitted there&amp;#039;s not much difference between the two. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s pretty much the same thing, but you don&amp;#039;t have to go to the hospital after every show,&amp;quot; he said. The honors for Best Play went to Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Who&amp;#039;s Afraid of Virginia Woolf won for Best Revival of a Play, and Pippin won for Best Revival of a Musical.  But it somehow always came back to the footwear. Laura Osnes, wearing a Randi Rahm gown and nominated for her leading role in Rodgers + Hammerstein&amp;#039;s Cinderella, joked that she was thinking of leaving one shoe on the Audemars Piguet-sponsored red carpet, then reconsidered. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve got on Jimmy Choos, so I don&amp;#039;t think so,&amp;quot; she said.

And they&amp;#039;re Jimmy Choos\u2014it&amp;#039;s not like they went to Payless.&amp;quot;   Photo: Getty Images   It was a night for usual boldfaced names to take a back seat. Debra Messing, in Matthew Christopher, was quietly supporting her boyfriend and Smash co-star Will Chase, nominated for The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Starlet Sienna Miller, in Burberry, quietly stood by her actor boyfriend Tom Sturridge, nominated for Orphan. Rita Wilson, in Tom Ford, stood by husband Tom Hanks, nominated for Lucky Guy, and Angela Bassett, in Theia, attended on the arm of husband Courtney Vance, who took home the Tony for his part in the same show.  &amp;quot;My wife is the queen,&amp;quot; said Vance, praising his wife in the press room after his win. &amp;quot;There are very few actresses like Angela Bassett.&amp;quot; He added that she enabled him to take on the grueling role of performing eight times a week. &amp;quot;She shouldered it this time and was under a lot of stress and I&amp;#039;m thankful to her.&amp;quot; It was also a night for good fashion on the red carpet. Who&amp;#039;s Afraid of Virginia Woolf actress Carrie Coon wore a gloriously deco vintage 1930s dress, Jane Krakowski wore Escada, Smash star Megan Hilty wore Badgley Mischka and David Yurman jewelry, Sigourney Weaver wore Michael Kors, Sally Field wore Armani, Audra McDonald wore David Meister, Scarlett Johansson wore Saint Laurent, Maura Tierney wore Alberta Ferretti, and Thalia wore Roberto Cavalli. Judith Ivey, nominated for her role in The Heiress, outfitted in Eileen Fisher joked, &amp;quot;I always remember the line in Nora Ephron&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Love, Loss and What I Wore.&amp;#039; Once you start wearing Eileen Fisher, it means you&amp;#039;ve given up,&amp;quot; She added, &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t care, I think giving up looks good.&amp;quot;   Photo: Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
