Rachel Zegler delivered a delicate and understated performance in a strapless yellow Dior gown as she attended the opening night of Romeo & Juliet on Broadway on Thursday.
The 23-year-old actress and singer, who plays Juliet in the play, was joined by 20-year-old co-star Kit Connor, her corresponding Romeo.
Zegler’s A-line dress, styled by Sarah Slutsky Tooley, featured floral embroidery throughout.
The dark-haired beauty accentuated the outfit with yellow Dior open-toe heels that exposed her nude pedicure.
Kit, for his part, wore a navy blue suit, a white shirt and a black and white patterned tie.

Rachel wore jewelry from Sophie Bille Brahe and Melissa Kaye, which Tooley mentioned in an Instagram post.
She captioned several behind-the-scenes snapshots of the star: “Happy opening night to our Juliet!!! @rachelzegler we love you to the moon and the sun and the stars! Congratulations on this great achievement!!! BROADWAY BABY!!”
And the official Romeo & Juliet Instagram account shared a promotional poster with the caption: ‘A pair of star-crossed lovers take the stage. It’s opening night!’
In August it was announced that the play had been given a four-week extension due to high demand.
The show was initially scheduled to run through January 2025, but dates through February 16 were added.
The Shakespearean classic opened on Broadway on September 26 with preview performances.
Tommy Dorfman, who is also part of the cast, turned heads on opening night in a draped, sheer black dress.
The 32-year-old entertainer wore her short, blonde bob haircut parted in the middle and tucked behind her ears.

Dorfman took to social media after the preview performances in September, saying, “made my Broadway debut this week (!!!) as nurse + tybalt in Sam Gold’s @romeojulietnyc, a line I never in a million years would have thought I who would write .’
She added: “I studied for ten years and I came here, what a gift! I love this cast and crew out there. we are now standing in the circle in the square – February 16!!!’
Zegler commented on the post: “Yes, so I’m crying.”
And actress Zooey Deschanel joined the comments, dropping three fire emoji.

Rachel and Kit initially got fans excited about their upcoming show in April when they posted the letters R and J, respectively, on their social media pages.
Connor placed the letter R, while Zegler placed the letter J, with interlocking halves of an addition mark on their posts.
Both geotagged the posts as Verona, the location of the Shakespearean story.
A trailer was then released in May, putting a twist on the timeless production that finds the two leads in the modern suburbs.
