Which Tony Award category did Jeff Mahshie win at the 2026 ceremony?

Jeff Mahshie won Best Costume Design of a Play at the 2026 Tony Awards.

Mahshie received the award for Fallen Angels, a revival of Noël Coward’s comedy. The category honors costume design in a play, including the visual choices that establish period, character, status, and atmosphere. Fallen Angels’ sophisticated social setting made costume an important part of its comic and theatrical identity.

The Tony Awards separate costume design for plays from costume design for musicals. Qween Jean won the musical category in 2026 for Cats: The Jellicle Ball, so Mahshie’s award belongs specifically to the play division. That distinction is why the same ceremony can honor two costume designers in separate categories.

Mahshie’s win was one of the technical awards presented during the 79th Tony Awards. The ceremony celebrated Broadway productions from the 2025–26 season and was held at Radio City Music Hall on June 7, 2026.
