Rachel Zegler put on a brave face as she was seen for the first time since the release of box office bomb Snow White on Thursday evening. 

The actress, 23, who has taken the brunt of the blame for the film underperforming its mᴀssive budget amid controversies, beamed as she attended the opening of George Clooney’s Broadway play Good Night And Good Luck, in New York. 

Rachel, who played the тιтle character in the ‘woke’ film, looked gorgeous in a graphic blue and white gown which boasted a Bardot neckline and hugged every inch of her svelte figure. 

Her dress was emblazoned with an eye-catching lip print that she teamed with a pair of towering black platform heels and chic clutch.

The stunner , who forwent a necklace to let the outfit speak for itself, sported glam make-up and wore her raven tresses straight. 

Amid the film’s many controversies Rachel was criticised for her political views after tweeting ‘free Palestine’ with claims the studio ‘didn’t know what to do’ with the outspoken actress.

It comes after Rachel’s former West Side Story co-star Ariana DeBose made an embarrᴀssing backtrack after inadvertently trashing her amid the movie’s release. 

DeBose shared a direct quote from Jonah Platt, 38, the son of Snow White producer Marc Platt, 67, in which he seemingly blamed the film’s failure on Zegler.

Her post, shared on a colorful rose backdrop to her Instagram account, read: ‘Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.’ 

The message has since been deleted, with DeBose swiftly erasing it from her timeline and insisting she was unaware it was about Zegler, 34, in a follow-up post. 

An apology to Zegler was absent from her clarification.  

‘I post quotes all the time and thought this one was meaningful. Will fully cop to the fact I did not do any research on where this quote came from, nor did I know of the connection until it was pointed out to me,’ DeBose, 34, wrote on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday. 

‘I have no intention of inserting myself into a news cycle. This is not the first time I’ve posted about narcissism and it probably won’t be the last, but next time I’ll be sure to clarify it’s origins first.’ 

DeBose’s now-deleted post was set to the tune of Beyonce’s self-love anthem Cozy, in which the Grammy Award-winner sings about rising up after taking a ‘dagger’ to the back.

Amid the film’s many controversies Rachel was criticised for her political views after tweeting ‘free Palestine’ with claims the studio ‘didn’t know what to do’ with the outspoken actress 

She had the comments on her post turned off, which prevented her over 700,000 followers from sounding off on the drama. 

DeBose and Zegler were rumored to have had a falling out towards the latter end of West Side Story’s 2022 awards season campaign.

While it’s unclear what or if any drama occurred between them, Zegler failed to publicly congratulate DeBose, who she’d previously shown fondness for, on her historic Best Supporting Actress win at that year’s Oscars.

She did however re-post a pH๏τo of DeBose as West Side Story’s Anita, a role originated by Oscar-winner Rita Moreno, to her Instagram Story at the time.

The two actresses reportedly went on to unfollow one another on Instagram the day after the ceremony, which Zelger had been invited to last-minute after the Academy initially snubbed her.

Zegler has been at the center of controversy in recent weeks as her controversial views further fueled outrage over Disney’s ‘woke’ live-action Snow White remake.

The $270million film, which hit theaters on March 21, is on track to become a box office flip after it garnered just $42.2 million domestically on opening weekend.

As of this week, Snow White — who also stars Gal Gadot — has currently taken in $66.9 million at the domestically after two weekends and $142.7 million worldwide.

The live-action rendition of the original 1937 animated classic hasn’t been a hit with critics either, with just a 40% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

DeBose directly quoted Snow White producer Marc Platt’s nepo baby son Jonah, who recently slammed ‘narcissistic’ Zegler in an now-deleted tirade, however she has now insisted she was unaware the message was about Zegler

Snow White was also plagued with other controversies outside of Zegler’s comments, amid accusations of a ‘woke’ clean-up job to remove dated cultural references and stereotypes 

ᴅᴇᴀᴅline recently claimed that Disney will likely suffer a loss of $115 million from the film, when all is said and done. 

And producer Marc Platt’s son Jonah shocked fans last week when he unleashed his fury on Zegler, seemingly blaming her for the film flopping.

Jonah, who is Marc’s eldest child, took to Instagram  in a now-deleted post to brand Zegler as ‘immature’ and insinuate she has ‘narcissistic’ tendencies. 

He did so in response to a fan comment, which referenced an article published by Variety that claimed Marc had flown to New York to speak to Zegler about her controversial pro-Palestine social media posts.

The fan comment read: ‘Your dad flew to NYC to reprimand a young actress? Any words on this? Cuz that’s creepy as hell and uncalled for. People have the right to free speech no? Shame on your father.’

Jonah, whose younger brother Ben Platt, 31, is an award-winning actor/singer, sH๏τ back with an angry rant which began: ‘You really want to do this?’

‘Yeah, my dad, the producer of the enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicly for.’

The host of the Being Jewish Podcast continued, saying her actions ‘clearly’ hurt the film’s box office.

‘Free speech does not mean you’re allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions,’ he continued.

‘Tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of the colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful.’

‘Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged,’ Jonah concluded his explosive rant.

Jonah has since been slammed for his response online by many users who then commented on the heated exchange.

‘”Had to leave his family” is a crazy thing to say about a 67-year-old billionaire with adult children,’ one user wrote.

‘Momma Platt holding 38-year-old Jonah and 31-year-old Ben in her arms: “You’re going to see HER again aren’t you, while I’m here raising our babies,”‘ joked another.

‘Jonah Platt is damn near 40 and popping veins over a girl born in 2001 in Instagram comments…’ said another.

Someone else wrote: ‘Jonah Platt has no idea how films work. Box office has no effect on “blue collar workers” who worked on this film. They were already paid!’
