N.Y.C.’s Radio City Music Hall was aglow with star power (and style) at last night’s 2010 Tony Awards, hosted by Sean Hayes. Lea Michele (who performed a duet with Glee co-star Matthew Morrison) looked stunning in a citrus Zac Posen gown: “I said I was going to go bright, and I meant it!” she told us. Naomi Watts accompanied husband and nominee Liev Schreiber in a strong-shouldered nude RM by Roland Mouret gown. Scarlett Johansson, who sparkled in forest green Elie Saab Couture, nabbed the night’s award for Best Actress in a Play (a first for the A View From A Bridge star).

Lea Michele’s Tonys Style: ‘Modern & Bright’

Jun 9, 2010 @ 3:07 pm

Before she hit it big on Glee, Lea Michele was already a Broadway sensation, so we weren’t surprised when she told us that she plans to make a theatrical entrance at Sunday night’s Tony Awards. “For the last several red carpets I’ve done classic Hollywood glamour, but the look I’m planning for the Tonys is more modern,” Michele told us at the launch of MARKTBeauty.com in N.Y.C. last night. “My dress is very bright; I’ve never worn anything like this on a red carpet before!” (The actress will change into an ensemble that she describes as “classic Broadway” before taking the stage at Radio City Music Hall to sing a duet with co-star Matthew Morrison.) Though she works with stylist Estee Stanley, Michele told us it’s boyfriend Theo Stockman (who is currently starring in the Green Day-inspired musical American Idiot) who gets to have final approval.

Hollywood Scores On Broadway

May 4, 2010 @ 5:53 pm

While they’re known for their performances on the silver screen, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Scarlett Johansson have both earned Tony nominations for their work on the Great White Way. “In my dreams, I couldn’t imagine a better way to make my Broadway debut,” Zeta-Jones, up for Lead Actress in a Musical for A Little Night Music, told BroadwayWorld.com. Ditto Johansson, who admitted that receiving a nomination for Featured Actress in a Play for her first Broadway role in A View from the Bridge is, “a dream come true.” Jude Law, Laura Linney and Liev Schreiber are among the other Hollywood actors up for the coveted Tony medallion this year. If you hear the bright lights of Broadway calling, upload a video of yourself belting out a show tune on the Macy’s Sing Your Way to the Tony Awards contest Web site for the chance to walk the red carpet at the ceremony in New York City. Those of us who restrict our singing to the shower can watch the action unfold when the Tony Awards air live on CBS on Sunday, June 13.
