Murphy and Real Embrace Comfort and Couture at Virtual Reali-Tea Awards
Kenneth Cole suits crown the inaugural Page Six event, with the hosts balancing style and comfort on the pink carpet and through the afterparty, plus gift bags for attendees.
Podcast co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real lit up the pink carpet at Page Six's inaugural Virtual Reali-Tea Awards last week in New York City. Murphy chose a burgundy Techni-Cole Slim-Fit Suit for the awards ceremony at City Winery, telling reporters it helped him 'feel as chic as a reality star.' 'I loved that it mixed professional with a lil’ sultriness,' he added, calling it the 'perfect outfit to wear while getting some tea from some of our favorite stars.' Murphy also noted the suit's comfort made it practical for a long evening on a crowded carpet, describing it as a balance of style and ease.
Real wore his Kenneth Cole outfit to the afterparty, opting for a black pinstriped Ready Flex Suit. He completed the look with white leather sneakers and a chain necklace, underscoring how the Ready Flex line can transition from formal events to nightlife. The look was part of a broader trend among the evening's participants toward tailoring that can move between ceremonial and social moments, with Murphy and Real signaling that comfort can coexist with high style on a premiere-night stage.
Murphy noted the suit's comfort helped him through the carpet and the show, saying, 'The suit was so comfortable, which came in clutch for the carpet and to wear for the entire show itself.' He added that he 'didn’t want to take it off' at the end of the night, underscoring how the ensemble balanced form and function for a long, media-heavy program.
At the afterparty, Real's outfit change reflected the event's blend of red-carpet polish and nightlife energy. In addition to access to the exclusive afterparty, guests at the inaugural awards show also received luxe gift bags from Page Six with a surprise (or six) inside, a detail that underscored the evening's celebratory tone and the outlet's push to make the event a memorable, shareable moment. The first edition drew a celeb-packed guest list and strong social chatter, with observers noting the event's bold color palette and its mix of reality-TV luminaries and media personalities.
With the debut show generating ample interest, industry watchers and fans alike are already speculating about a return in 2026, signaling that Page Six may aim to establish Virtual Reali-Tea as a recurring cultural moment. The coverage accompanying the event highlighted fashion, comfort, and the social dynamics of celebrity gatherings, consistent with Page Six Style Shopping's focus on accessible, celebrity-worn styles and the trend potential of the labels involved.
