Sutton Foster beamed from ear to ear as she hit the red carpet solo at the 69th Annual Drama Desk Awards on Sunday.
The Broadway star, 50, dodged all questions relating to her new flame Hugh Jackman — just days after his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness broke her silence on their split, seemingly alluding to Jackman’s alleged affair with Foster.
Despite Furness’ remark, Foster appeared in good spirits at the glitzy event, where she was nominated for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical.
Still, despite the nod, the actress beelined for the exit to avoid the press after posing for a series of photos on the red carpet, the Daily Mail reports.
Foster also posed for snaps with actor Michael Urie, before sticking close to her publicist throughout the night, the outlet added.
The event was packed with celebrities, including Nicole Scherzinger, Debra Messing, and Sarah Hyland — all of whom spoke to press at some point in the evening.
Her outing came just days after Furness issued a scathing statement following the demise of her 27-year marriage to the “Greatest Showman” star.
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” Furness said.
“It’s a profound wound that cuts deep. However I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.”
The Australian actress added, “This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.”
“It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom,” she said, sharing that “one thing” she’s learned is that “none of this is personal.”
“We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random,” she went on.
“We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves…I remain grateful.”
Days later, Jackman’s longtime friend broke his silence on the pair’s “difficult” divorce.
