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.
