Can you believe she is 76? Bernadette Peters looks half her age in a tight black dress at NYC event... 45 years after starring with Steve Martin in The Jerk

Can you believe she is 76? 

Bernadette Peters looked half her age on Monday evening at the the 2024 Chita Rivera Awards at NYU Skirball Center in New York City.

The stage and screen star was also svelte as she modeled a tight little black dress with high heels.

Peters is an actress and singer. Over a career spanning more than six decades, she has starred in musical theatre, television and film, performed in solo concerts and released recordings.

And she made her mark in hit films.

She was in The Jerk with Steve Martin in 1979, in Woody Allen's Alice in 1990, and in Cinderella with Whitney Houston in 1997.

She has recorded six solo albums as well as many cast albums, and performs regularly in her own solo concert act.

Peters was born into an Italian-American family in Ozone Park in the New York City borough of Queens.

Also at the Chita River event were Brooke Shields and Kristin Chenoweth.

Shields, 58, looked like a golden goddess in a sparkly toga-inspired gown while Chenoweth, 55, wore a chic, baby blue number.

Posing on the red carpet at the awards ceremony dedicated to dance, the Pretty Baby actress paired her dazzling dress with nude pumps and a metallic bronze clutch.

She swept her bombshell waves to one side to showcase a pair of gold, chunky statement earrings and rocked a sultry, dark brown makeup look.

Shields — who shared stunning photos from the Thailand set of her Netflix romantic comedy Mother of the Bride earlier in the day — completed her look with a deep mauve glossy lip.

At the event, Shields threw her arm over Ira Mont's shoulder as they posed for a snap together. 

The Broadway actor and professor looked dapper in a black suit and a colorful, patterned tie. 

Elsewhere on the red carpet, Chenoweth was seen modeling a black jumpsuit with dramatic, baby blue ruffles layered across the one-shoulder neckline and cascading down her body.

At one point, she turned around to showcase the low scoop style on the back of her jumpsuit. 

The Tony-winning Broadway star paired the bold garb with a pair of dark platform heels covered with sequins.

To show off the chic neckline of her jumpsuit, she threw up her platinum blonde hair in a polished, low ponytail and wore dainty stud earrings. 

She wore two shiny diamond statement rings as her only other accessories.

For makeup, the Descendants actress opted for a dewy makeup look with peach-colored blush and a nude pink gloss.
