Audra McDonald is celebrating a remarkable week, marked by her 11th Tony Award nomination for her role in the Broadway revival of Gypsy. This achievement makes her the most-nominated performer in Tony history. Besides her stage performances, she attended the Met Gala in a stunning gown designed by Charles Harbison, known for his work with celebrities like Michelle Obama and Beyoncé. Despite a busy schedule including a visit to the Department of Motor Vehicles, McDonald expressed her excitement about the whirlwind events of the week.
I'm a little tired, she said in a phone interview from the West Side Highway on Saturday, en route to the Majestic Theater for the matinee, but it's all been very exciting.
The look was created by Charles Harbison, a Los Angeles designer who has also dressed Michelle Obama and Beyonce.
When she saw the design, she said, I gasped.
Mr. Harbison, who grew up in North Carolina, said he was inspired by Daughters of the Dust, the 1991 film directed by Julie Dash.
