She's been setting standards for Hollywood glamour for decades.

And on Sunday night Brooke Shields kept up with appearances at the Broadway premiere of Spring Awakening in New York.

The 50-year-old looked absolutely stunning in a cream-coloured skirt and black top as she stole the limelight on the arrivals carpet.

Also in attendance was Kelly Ripa, who showed off her slim figure in a little black dress with a graphic bow across her chest.

Debra Messing, meanwhile, went hell for leather in a chic dress and stilettos as she made funny faces for the cameras.

But it was Rosie O'Donnell and her Blake who perhaps stole the most attention with their affectionate display while posing for snaps together.

In Spring Awakening the actors use their faces, mouths and hands to communicate. 

Projections offer song lyrics and dialogue. Performers run through the theater aisles, even occupying a box seat. 

Musicians roam the stage with their instruments. At one point, incense fills the theater.

The nonprofit Deaf West Theatre in Los Angeles, which brought Broadway the triumphant Big River in 2003, has done it again with Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik's rock musical - making inclusionary, astonishingly alive work.

Spring Awakening, which opened Sunday at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, mixes hearing and deaf performers with elegant ease, adding new depth to a show about the dangers of failing to communicate. 

Meanwhile, Brooke all but skipped into a New York court on Tuesday after being called up for jury duty.

The Pretty Baby star told the New York Post she was more than happy to do her civic duty.

She told the newspaper: 'I'm here. It's a right and – I don't think most people think of it as a privilege – but it's a right as well as a privilege.'
