Preparing for the 2024 Tony Awards with ‘Lempicka’ Star Eden Espinosa

“Lempicka” star Eden Espinosa kept it a family affair on Sunday. The actress, nominated for a Tony for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Tamara de Lempicka, was joined by her parents as she prepared for the big night. While Espinosa wore a Dolce & Gabbana dress, her parents each wore something just as festive: the product from the “Lempicka” show.

“They’re the cutest.” Always loving and supporting me,” Espinosa said.

Espinosa was styled by Jake Sokoloff and hair and makeup by Kat Nejat.

“There’s always laughter when I get ready with Kat,” she said. “We have been friends for years in the industry. She was an actress, singer, dancer on Broadway and has now moved into makeup and hairstyling. We’ve been together for every event we’ve done this season and not only is she the best at what she does, but she’s the kindest and most fun to be around.

Espinosa and her parents took a “moment of prayer to give thanks and refocus” before taking a few photos in her dress.

“I played Tamara, who was known for her nude portraits and for the way she painted skin, for the way it was so smooth and luminous… when my stylist Jake and I tried on this dress, we both commented what she looked like in Tamara’s skin. paintings,” she said. “So naturally, we knew we had to let the transparency of the fabric be a moment for a few little hellos! »

Her date for the evening was the show’s composer, Matt Gould. “A while ago we made a pact that we would be each other’s Tony dates and while it was bittersweet for us that our show didn’t receive more recognition, It was so good to have him by my side.”
