Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth made a spectacular appearance on the red carpet this Sunday, accompanied by her husband Josh Bryant for the opening night of her new production The Queen of Versailles.
A Fashionable Couple Steals the Show
The 57-year-old actress, who recently faced controversy over remarks about Charlie Kirk's death, commanded attention in a stunning black and silver gown that perfectly accentuated her figure. Her elegant halter neck design featured a low-cut bodice that highlighted her trim waist, while her bright blonde bob haircut with face-framing bangs completed the glamorous look.
Josh Bryant, the 42-year-old musician who married Chenoweth in 2023, coordinated perfectly with his wife in a sophisticated all-black ensemble. The dapper musician wore a turtleneck beneath a flawlessly tailored suit featuring a satin lapel, demonstrating their stylish synergy as a couple.
From Wedding Bells to Broadway Lights
The former Wicked star and her spouse, who is fourteen years her junior, began their romantic journey after first meeting at Kristin's niece's wedding in 2016. Their relationship blossomed when they reconnected in 2018 at her nephew's wedding ceremony.
Bryant proposed in October 2021 at New York's iconic Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center, with Chenoweth telling Vogue: "I've been the runaway bride. Now that I've found him, I won't let him go. I will race to greet him at the altar."
Her husband echoed this sentiment, sharing with the publication: "Kristin is my world, my everything, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her!"
Star-Studded Support for Broadway Return
The opening night attracted numerous celebrities from the entertainment industry, showing their support for Chenoweth's latest theatrical venture.
Her former Wicked co-star Idina Menzel, 54, made a striking appearance in a bright red power suit accessorised with a flower-shaped brooch. The singer and actress brought a bouquet of pink peonies for the leading lady, which Chenoweth later acknowledged on Instagram Stories with the message: "Thank you for the opening flowers @idinamenzel ❤️ I love you!"
The guest list included several other notable figures:
- Jesse Eisenberg, 42, who arrived in a black suit and sweater
- Anna Wintour, 76, the longtime Vogue editor who made a stylish entrance in a black leather trench coat
- Katie Couric, 68, who looked darling in a fringed black dress complemented by a classic coat and beret
- Jenna Lyons, 57, and her partner Cass Bird, 51, who coordinated in matching outfits of jeans, white shirts and black blazers
- Kathryn Gallagher, 32, who appeared elegant in a semi-sheer black blouse and wrap skirt
- Neil Patrick Harris, 52, and David Burtka, 50, who enjoyed the event as a date night in their respective suits
The presence of so many distinguished guests underscored Chenoweth's respected position within the Broadway community and marked a triumphant return to the New York theatre scene for the acclaimed performer.
