Lea Michele stuns with a unique cutout dress while walking the red carpet at the Golden Heart Awards

Lea Michele used a day off on her hit Broadway show Funny Girl to hit the red carpet at God’s Love We Deliver 16th Annual Golden Heart Awards.

The 36-year-old actress hit the red carpet at the event – held at The Glasshouse in New York City – with her mother Edith Sarfati.

The Glee star is slated to perform at the gala, which is hosted by Pose star Billy Porter.

Lea’s outing comes just over a month after she debuted as Fanny Brice in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl, a role she has dreamed to play for years.

Her love of Funny Girl was even written in for her character in Glee, mirroring her own love for the production.

Her run has already had a small hiccup, testing positive for COVID-19 just four days after her debut, requiring her to isolate for 10 days before returning to the stage.

Her outing also comes just days after one of her Glee co-stars – Chris Colfer – threw some shade her way.

He was being interviewed on The Michelle Collins Show when he was asked if he’d join the host for a Funny Girl performance while he was in New York City.

‘Oh. My day suddenly just got so full,’ Colfer said, confirming later he wouldn’t see the show, adding, ‘No, I can be triggered at home.’

Her performance as Fanny Brice has largely won positive reviews from theater critics. 

Michele hasn’t appeared on the small screen since her role in ABC’s The Mayor in 2018.

She also released an album full of cover songs entitled Forever: A Lullaby Album in early November 2021.
