AceShowbiz - Rachel McAdams stole the show at the 77th Annual Tony Awards in a breathtaking black and white satin slip dress. The actress, nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play for her Broadway debut in "Mary Jane", exuded elegance on the red carpet.
Accessorized with sparkling diamond earrings, a sleek middle-parted hairstyle, and a slinky diamond bracelet, McAdams made a statement with her minimal yet glamorous look. Her gown featured an asymmetrical silver satin neckline and a plunging back, held up by two spaghetti straps. The translucent fabric showcased her figure, while the skirt draped into a flowing train adorned with black satin trim.
McAdams' nomination for "Mary Jane" marks a significant milestone in her career. In the play, she portrays a single mother caring for her ailing toddler son. For this demanding role, she remains onstage for the entirety of the show's 90-minute running time.
In a statement following her nomination, McAdams expressed her gratitude, "Playing Mary Jane has been the role of a lifetime, and I am so honored to bring her story to the stage every day. I am incredibly grateful to the entire cast and crew for supporting me in this journey."
After making her "Mary Jane" debut in April, McAdams shared her excitement with PEOPLE, stating that she felt "honored" and "less nervous" on stage. "I'm embracing the nerves!" she declared, recognizing that they contribute to the vibrancy of her performance.
McAdams' experience as a mother of two young children informed her portrayal of Mary Jane's fierce maternal instincts. "I understand intimately what it feels like to know you would do anything for your child," she said. "This mother lives in that place every day."
The Tony Awards were broadcast live from Lincoln Center in New York City on Sunday, June 16, on CBS and Paramount+.
