It's time for mom to have a star-studded night out.

Close to one month after giving birth, Keri Russell stepped out for the 2016 Tony Awards at The Beacon Theatre in New York City.

The Americans star opted for a dark red gown with a plunging neckline and silver accents. She completed her look with a matching clutch, heels and Jacob & Co. triple drop earrings.

Keri was set to join Meg Ryan, Josh Groban, Common and more to present some of the biggest awards of the evening. And for those not keeping track, Hamilton is favored to break records thanks to all of their well-deserved nominations.

Back in May, Keri welcomed her first child with Matthew Rhys into the world. She's also the proud mom to two other children from a previous marriage.

During a recent interview with Parade, the actress couldn't help but acknowledge how much motherhood has changed her for the better.

"You instantly become less selfish. You can't be the biggest person in the world anymore—they are," she explained to the publication. "It really grounds you. I like working hard, but my entire life outside of my career is equally important to me. Maybe I'm not ambitious enough, but I'm just as interested in my friends and my relationship with my family."

Keri and Matthew first met on the set of the FX series. The private pair would ultimately take their romance public for the first time back in April 2014. As they like to say, the rest is history .
