Rachel Brosnahan and Melissa McCarthy both suited up to attend the opening night of Broadway musical Suffs (short for suffragettes), which was held at the Music Box Theatre in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday.

The 53-year-old Little Mermaid star just so happens to be an investor in the original play about the historical events leading up to the 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution that gave women the right to vote.

The 33-year-old Emmy winner wore a brown pantsuit over a black crew-neck top, matching purse, and pointed-toe heels selected by stylist Alexandra Mandelkorn.

Hairstylist Danielle Priano coiffed Rachel's piecy updo and make-up artist Lisa Aharon made sure her alabaster complexion was ready for her close-up.

Brosnahan was joined on the purple carpet by her husband- Three Women actor Jason Ralph - looking dapper in a grey plaid suit over a white polo shirt and black loafers.

The married couple of seven years - who dote on their dogs Nikki and Winston - originally met in 2014 while filming Jon Goracy's rom-com I'm Obsessed with You.

Since February, Rachel has been hard at work on set filming her role as Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane in James Gunn's Superman reboot - hitting UK/US theaters July 11, 2025 - with David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Brosnahan landed the plum part after beating out actresses like Emma Mackey, Phoebe Dynevor, and Samara Weaving.

Meanwhile, Melissa flashed her black bra in a sheer turtleneck beneath a matching blazer covered in 'Votes for Women' pins and wide-leg trousers.

McCarthy appears to be latest celebrity to hop aboard the trendy Ozempic train by flaunting her significantly shrinking 5ft2in figure.

The two-time Oscar nominee styled her brunette locks in waves and had her complexion fully contoured with defined brows, cat eyeliner, and a vampy pout.

Melissa completed her look on Thursday with sheer 'tattooed gloves' reading: 'Can ladies kill?'

McCarthy will next portray Kellogg's employee Donna Stankowski in Jerry Seinfeld's feature directorial debut Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, which premieres May 3 on Netflix.

McCarthy will next portray Kellogg's employee Donna Stankowski in Jerry Seinfeld's feature directorial debut Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, which premieres May 3 on Netflix

The 69-year-old comedian also stars in the 1963-set comedy about a pastry war between cereal rivals Kellogg's and Post, which originally derived from one of his stand-up bits.

Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, James Marsden, Christian Slater, Maria Bakalova, Bill Burr, Dan Levy, and Fred Armisen will also appear in Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story.

But the true woman of the hour was Suffs creator Shaina Taub, who wore a fetching floral pantsuit to celebrate the decade-in-the-making play, which originally debuted at the off-Broadway Public Theater in 2022.

Taub wrote, composed the music/lyrics, and made her Broadway debut as real-life suffragist Alice Paul who was jailed and suffered police brutality in her quest to successfully strategize the campaign for the 19th Amendment.

Leigh Silverman - who wore a sleeveless tuxedo top and metallic trousers - directed Suff, which began previews on March 26 and runs through September 1.

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, and two-time Tony Award winner Candy Spelling are among the more noteworthy producers behind Suff.

Hillary was, as usual, joined by Huma Abedin, the former vice chair of her 2016 presidential campaign.

And the 26-year-old Pakistani activist was joined by her husband of three years, Pakistan Cricket Board manager Asser Malik, who coordinated his purple necktie with her purple floral frock.
