Lindsay Mendez Cradles Her Baby Bump in Red Hot Gown at the 2024 Tony Awards

Lindsay Mendez is positively glowing!

The actress walked the red carpet at the 2024 Tony Awards showing off her baby bump — and her glam attire. Mendez wore a red, off-the-shoulder fishtail gown and proudly cradled her stomach as she posed for photos.

The nominee decked her look in a diamond and ruby necklace. As for glam, Mendez wore romantic side-swept waves and kept her makeup soft and natural to let her inner glow take center stage.

Mendez, 41, is nominated for best performance by an actress in a featured role in a musical for Merrily We Roll Along. Also nominated are Shoshana Bean, Amber Iman, Nikki M. James, Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer, Kecia Lewis and Bebe Neuwirth.

Her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Jonathan Groff are also nominated for Tony Awards (it’s Radcliffe’s first nomination!), and the show scored nods for best revival of a musical, best sound design, best direction and best orchestrations.

Mendez announced the news of her second pregnancy — her first baby with husband J. Alex Brinson — on Instagram in March. She shared a photo of three pairs of matching shoes and one tiny pair of knit booties with the caption, “Our family band is expanding! And we are bursting with joy! J and I can’t wait to make Lucy a big sister and welcome our new baby this fall.”

She also confirmed in the caption that she’d be finishing out her Merrily run while pregnant. The show closes on Broadway on July 7.

“I’m also so grateful for the unrelenting support of my @merrilyonbway producers and company. Together, they have made it so that I can happily work safely, all while growing this true Broadway baby.”

Mendez and Brinson tied the knot in a small ceremony in April. Groff officiated and Radcliffe acted as ring bearer.

“It was a dream come true,” Mendez told PEOPLE of her wedding. “Absolutely magical. J. is a magnet of love. A resilient, passionate, leader whom I’m excited to build a beautiful life with.”

The two wed in front of 40 guests in New York and the bride’s 2-year-old daughter Lucy threw confetti in the air in celebration.

The Tony Awards are airing live from Lincoln Center in New York City on Sunday, June 16, on CBS (8 ET/PT) and streaming on Paramount+.
