Aubrey Plaza turned Chanel’s beach capsule into maternity black tie at the 79th annual Tony Awards on Sunday, arriving at Radio City Music Hall alongside her partner, Christopher Abbott, a featured actor nominee for his turn as Biff Loman in Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman.”

For the Broadway night, Plaza chose a black-and-white long dress from Chanel’s Coco Beach 2026 collection, a piece rooted in summer dressing rather than traditional eveningwear. The choice gave her latest pregnancy-era appearance a lighter route into formalwear.
The black knit style featured fine white striping and a deep V neckline. The beachwear reference came through in the white triangular bust panels and slim straps, which fastened with small metal adjusters at the shoulders. Through the lower half, the knit appeared more sheer, giving the ankle-length silhouette a lighter finish than a conventional black tie gown.

Styled by Jessica Paster, Plaza kept the rest of the look restrained: Rheanne White styled her dark hair in loose waves, Fulvia Farolfi gave her a soft pink lip and defined eyes, and small drop earrings, a fine necklace, rings and red nails finished the graphic black-and-white look.

Plaza’s latest maternity dressing has stayed relatively understated. In April, she wore a black Camilla and Marc minidress with Betsey Johnson pumps for an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” using an Empire waist, sheer tights and gold jewelry for a cleaner late-night version of pregnancy style after her reps confirmed she and Abbott were expecting their first child together earlier that month.
