00:02Rachel Zegler turned heads at the 2026 Tony Awards in a daring dark brown gown with a plunging neckline and
00:08a slit up to her stomach.
00:10The 25-year-old attended as both a performer and presenter at the ceremony on June 7th.
00:14She is preparing to return to Broadway in 2027 to play Eva Peron in the musical Evita, which she calls
00:21a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
00:22The Golden Globe winner first gained fame as Maria in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story, beating out 30,000 applicants
00:29for the role.
00:30Her casting as Snow White in Disney's 2025 live-action remake sparked intense online backlash, which she says put so
00:36much pressure on her that she needed psychological therapy.
00:39Peron Vita co-star James Olivas recently defended her, saying much of the backlash is manufactured outrage and that she
00:45is being targeted as a young woman of color.
00:48Zegler recently admitted she is really scared about being replaced by artificial intelligence, calling it fucking dystopian after having 465
00:56photos taken of her body for CGI stunts.
00:58She also made waves at the 2026 Met Gala in a look inspired by the painting of Lady Jean Grey.
01:03Zegler will star alongside Adrienne Brody in the upcoming film Last Dance, playing his daughter in a story set during
01:08the AIDS crisis.
