Lea Michele Blossoms in Floral Emilia Wickstead Dress and Hidden Heels at Tony Awards 2023

Lea Michele was in full bloom for the 2023 Tony Awards.

Michele — who will be performing at the ceremony this evening, following her leading role in the hit Broadway play “Funny Girl” — arrived to the United Palace in New York City for the occasion on Sunday, wearing a white sleeveless dress by Emilia Wickstead.

The “Glee” actress‘ ensemble, styled by Brian Meller, featured a cinched bodice, faintly squared neckline and draped circle skirt. A delicate red print of blossoming roses covered the piece for an elegant, romantic finish.

Michele kept her accessories for the occasion simple, only wearing gold and diamond drop earrings and a thin bracelet to further allow her outfit’s prints to take center stage.

When it came to footwear, Michele’s shoes could not be seen. However, it’s likely the “New Year’s Eve” actress‘ outfit was finished with a matching or complementary pair of heeled sandals or pumps in a similar red or white hue as her dress, given her past red carpet outings. The technique could be seen in a range of stars in attendance, however, including Lily Rabe, Rachel Brosnahan, Betsy Wolfe and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
