“What on Earth?” That was literally the first thing that came to mind when I saw that Amanda Seyfried had attended the 2012 Tony Awards wearing this Givenchy get up.

The 26-year-old actress made a surprising appearance during the opening of the show in a purple, crystal-embroidered slinky silk dress from the Fall 2012 collection designed by Riccardo Tisci, with lace elements and a bright orange-red belt.

I liked this dress on the runway, and without a doubt, it works for a premiere — and certainly for editorial — but it was all wrong for the Tonys and, sadly, Amanda couldn’t make it work.

Amanda color-coordinated with nice accessories, but her tightly pulled hairstyle and ultra-fair skin paired with intense blood-orange lipstick made this ensemble such a costume.

She finished off with a bright Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci “Obsedia” minaudière to match the belt and a pair of horn-detailed black leather sandals from the Spring 2012 collection.

Amanda is also wearing gold, diamond and amethyst jewelry from Fred Leighton.
