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.

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.
