As 2022 comes to a close, we're sharing the outfits that we're still thinking about from theatre's red carpets this year. There was gender-fluid fashion, Y2K nods, envy-inducing coats, gigantic skirts, cultural pride, and much more on display.

See some of the most memorable looks from this year's opening night red carpets on and off Broadway below.

1. Alysia Velez stunned in an impeccably fitted cowl-neck sheath and her natural hair at Into the Woods' opening night.
