Smash Star Megan Hilty Knows the Power of the Perfect Dress

Feb 20, 2012 @ 12:00 pm

Smash star Megan Hilty may look like a pro on the red carpet, but she still finds the process a little intimidating. “I’d never done anything like this before, so I thought there would be a lot of pressure,” the Broadway veteran told InStyle.com of her appearance at the Smash premiere this month. One thing that calmed her nerves—having the perfect outfit. “As soon as we found the right dress everything made sense,” said Hilty, who wore a sparkly black number to the event. “But it was a little daunting.” However, the actress does have a secret for hiding red carpet jitters in photos: “Keep breathing, don’t be so stiff.” Good advice! Watch Hilty in a new episode of Smash airing tonight at 10/9c on NBC.
