Christine Baranski | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Christine Baranski rocks a sharp suit for The Gilded Age special screening held at The Whitby Hotel in New York City on Tuesday (May 24).

The 70-year-old actress met up with her co-stars Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Denee Benton, Louisa Jacobson and Cynthia Nixon, and series showrunner/creator Julian Fellowes.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight recently, Cynthia and Christine opened up about being part of the period drama and learning from it as they work.

“[It's] such a fascinating part of history, and New York history in particular,” Cynthia shared. “It’s a period that has so much in common with our own and I think it’s a period that people don’t know that much about.”

Christine added that they “learn a lot about history.”

“We’re so lucky as we say to be part of this world that [Julian] creates,” she continued, noting that everyone “not only enjoyed the stories,” but they all “loved the costumes and the sets and entertaining that fairy-tale world where manners were very strict and formal.””

Season two of the HBO series just started filming. See which stars are confirmed to return here!

Christine Baranski is celebrating her 70th birthday at the 2022 Met Gala!

The actress, who currently stars in HBO Max’s The Gilded Age, attended fashion’s big event on her birthday, Monday (May 2), at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

For the event, Christine sported a black tuxedo-inspired dress paired with oversized black sunglasses.

Also stepping out for the Met Gala were Christine‘s The Gilded Age co-stars Louisa Jacobson – in a sheer black and gold dress – and Denee Benton, who wore a pink and red, silk dress.

The dress code for the event is “Gilded Glamour” and it’s inspired by the Costume Institute’s exhibition, In America: An Anthology of Fashion. Guests are asked to “embody the grandeur—and perhaps the dichotomy—of Gilded Age New York,” a period that stretched from 1870 to 1890. The official co-chairs this year are Regina King, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

FYI: Christine is wearing a Thom Browne outfit. Louisa is wearing a Schiaparelli dress while carrying a Tyler Ellis clutch. Denee is wearing Jimmy Choo heels.

The Gilded Age has been renewed for a second season by HBO!

The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of great conflict between the old ways and brand new systems, and of huge fortunes made and lost. Against the backdrop of this transformation, HBO’s The Gilded Age begins in 1882 with young Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) moving from rural Pennsylvania to New York City after the death of her father to live with her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and Ada Brook (Cynthia Nixon). Accompanied by Peggy Scott (Denée Benton), an aspiring writer seeking a fresh start, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George (Morgan Spector) and Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon). Exposed to a world on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?

“Julian Fellowes and the entire GILDED AGE family have thoroughly captivated us with their tale of late 19th century New York City extravagance. Along with our partners at Universal Television, we couldn’t be prouder to embark on a season two journey with this extraordinarily talented team,” HBO exec Francesca Orsi said in a statement about the renewal.

HBO has renewed four other TV shows in 2022 so far!
