Who won Best Costume Design of a Play at the 2026 Tony Awards for Fallen Angels?

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

Mahshie received the award for creating the costumes for Fallen Angels, a play by Noël Coward. Costume design contributes to a production’s period, character identities, silhouettes, and visual storytelling; the Tony category recognizes that work specifically for a play.

The nominees included Qween Jean for Liberation, Emilio Sosa for The Balusters, Paul Tazewell for Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, and Brenda Abbandandolo for Dog Day Afternoon. Mahshie’s win was therefore a design honor, not an acting or directing prize for Fallen Angels.

The Tonys presented a separate Best Costume Design of a Musical category in 2026. Qween Jean won that musical-design award for Cats: The Jellicle Ball. Because Qween Jean appeared among both the play and musical design nominees, checking the production type is especially important when recalling the results.
