On July 11, Cole Escola’s riotously funny, gleefully ahistorical take on the life of Mary Todd Lincoln Oh, Mary! had its grand Broadway opening at the Lyceum Theatre—probably the most memorable and important thing to happen in an American theater since April 14, 1865.
Broadway.com hit the red carpet to survey the most fabulous looks from the cast, creatives and special guests. Certified style icon Escola was dressed to impress. They went for elegance with a strapless bustier gown, long, black gloves and a makeup look that blended sophistication with drag couture. Escola’s stylist was David Moses, a former designer at Vaquera, who runs the vintage clothing business Winning & Losing and curated Escola’s tres outré Miss Havisham-inspired Met Gala outfit earlier in the year.
