Jim Parsons stars as Rose’s overbearing mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, in the hit Broadway parody musical Titanique.
And on Sunday night, the 53-year-old Big Bang Theory alum brought the character to life on stage at the 2026 Tony Awards in New York.
The actor slipped into the female role wearing a burgundy pantsuit embellished with a pink sash, pink trim, and beaded accents.
His look was complemented with pearl jewelry, including a tiered necklace, bracelet, and earrings.
He wore a headpiece consisting of two white doves and his face was fully made up with rouge blush and pouty red lips.
Parsons’s on-stage ensemble was a far cry from the dapper display he put on prior to the show, where he posed for photos in a black tuxedo.

He was joined on stage by Layton Williams, Constantine Rousouli, Melissa Barrera, Jim Parsons, Frankie Grande and John Riddle
For over two minutes, Parsons and his Titanique castmates gave their all as they delivered a riveting performance of Chances and My Heart Will Go On.
Joining him on stage were Marla Mindelle, Deborah Cox, Frankie Grande, Layton Williams, Constantine Rousouli, Melissa Barrera, John Riddle, and others.
‘Walking a carpet with this crew is heaven,’ Parsons wrote in an Instagram Story on Sunday night while sharing a photo with Riddle, Cox, and Barrera.
Parsons kicked off his time in the production at the St. James Theatre in March, and fans can see him there until September 20.
In May he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he spoke fondly of the show.
‘I have to tell you, this is the most fun I’ve ever had doing a show in my life,’ he gushed to Fallon.
He explained, ‘First off, it is the most joyous production I’ve ever been in as far as… it’s hysterical, the audience reaction is just amazing, and I thought, well that’s why I’m high as a kite every night when I leave here.’
The longtime actor added: ‘I am shocked by the consistency. I’ve never been in a comedy or anything that so consistently hit in the same places, and they always in a way that like, you’re blown back.
‘…It’s amazing, but it’s because the thing is so damn well-put-together.’

Broadway’s biggest names gathered in New York City on Sunday night to celebrate the 79th Annual Tony Awards.
Pink, 46, played host, arriving in a shimmering, low-cut, Jean-Louis Sabaji black gown.
She made her awards show hosting debut with a Lady Marmalade-inspired opening number, for which she changed into a pink corset and black fishnet tights.
The longtime performer kicked off the number with aerial acrobatics in a Peter Pan costume. The production featured a handful of surprise cameos including one from Megan Thee Stallion, who is fresh off her turn as Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge.
Later in the night Pink performed with the cast of Chicago.
John Lithgow won his third Tony Award, this time for his performance as Roald Dahl in Giant.
Shoshana Bean won Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical for her turn in The Lost Boys.
Laurie Metcalf took home the win for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play for her part in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman.
And Ali Louis Bourzgui won Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for his role in The Lost Boys.
