Tony Awards 2023: Lupita Nyong’o puts on jawdropping display in a busty silver breastplate

Lupita Nyong’o put on a jaw-dropping display as she showed off her assets in a custom breastplate at the 2023 Tony Awards in NYC on Sunday.

The actress, 40, was stunned by the sassy silver garment that Pakistani artist and fashion designer Misha Japanwala created for her, molded to her own body.

The garment showed off her bust and midriff and was paired with chic black flared trousers.

She took another look at the sassy look as she took off her blazer.

The star also sported an intricate head tattoo that appeared to be henna, rocking a smoky shade and a berry lip.

The theater world reunites this Sunday night for the Tony Awards, an annual celebration of all things Broadway.

This year’s ceremony has also become the latest production affected by the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. It is the first time in 35 years that the Tonys have been affected by the WGA strike.

Despite the challenges, the show goes on.

The ceremony will air on CBS in an unscripted format and the union has agreed not to pick up the event. Broadway icon Lin-Manuel Miranda also stepped down as writer of the opening segment in solidarity with the WGA.

Veteran actress Ariana DeBose will host this year’s event from the United Palace Theater in Washington Heights.

Viewers will continue to be entertained with numerous performances from a variety of Tony-nominated musicals on stage.

Audience members are treated to performances by casts from Into the Woods, New York, New York, Shucked, Beautiful Noise, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and more.

It will also feature performances from the cast of the Lea Michele-led musical, Funny Girl.

In terms of nominations, Some Like It Hot, the musical adaptation of the Marilyn Monroe movie, has been nominated for the most Tonys with a whopping 13 nominations.

It will compete for Best Musical against & Juliet, Kimberly Akimbo, New York, New York and Shucked.

Best Play nominations include Ain’t No Mo’, Between Riverside and Crazy, Cost of Living, Fat Ham, Leopoldstadt.

In a statement, Jack Sussman, executive vice president of specials, music, live events and alternative programming at CBS said of the show, “CBS has been home to the Tony Awards for more than 40 years.

“We’re proud to once again celebrate the best of theater this season, and we continue to support Broadway, the wider theater community, and all of the incredible artistic talents both on stage and behind the scenes who bring the shows to life.”

“This year’s Tony Award nominees are a reflection of a great year for Broadway,” Charlotte St. Martin, president of The Broadway League and Heather Hitchens, president and CEO of the American Theater Wing, said in a statement.

“The show will feature performances from Broadway’s greatest lights – from pioneering artists to industry icons – in recognition of the memorable productions that are wowing audiences worldwide.”

The Tony Awards highlight the latest product affected by the ongoing strike.

Drew Barrymore stopped hosting the MTV Movie & Television Awards last month in solidarity with the writers, and the event continued in stripped-down, pre-recorded fashion.

Movie and television writers are on strike over complaints that studios have been underpaying them for years, especially when it comes to streaming shows that yield almost no residuals over time. They are also fighting back against studios’ attempts to shrink writers’ rooms, shorten the number of episodes of television seasons, and leave open the possibility of replacing human writers with so-called “AI” programs.
