Ella of course, is the daughter of actor and comedy legend Ben Stiller, 60, and actress Christine Taylor, 54, who is known for playing Marcia Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie.

Fans have seen Ella walk the red carpet before, but this is one of the rare solo outings of her own – without her famous parents.

For the occasion, which is Broadway’s night of nights, Ella looked chic in a green cut-out and layered dress.

Her frock featured a bustier-like top and a layered skirt.

She teamed the look with silver chandelier earrings and wore makeup including a winged eye and a soft glossy red lip.

Ella looked confident as she walked the red carpet, posing for pictures before heading inside the event.

Ella has followed in her famous parents’ acting footsteps, and has appeared in the likes of Adam Sandler’s Hubie Halloween and even her dad’s hit film, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.

“I think my dad and I are very similar in the way our brains work and the way we view art and writing and creativity. I feel he and I are very much cut from the same cloth,” she told the publication.

She added: “We have a very specific way of joking in my family, which I love so much. And sometimes I find myself making jokes and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I sounded exactly like my mum.’”

The pair first met back in 1999.

More recently, Christine spoke about their split and reconciliation during a podcast appearance, telling the McBride Rewind podcast: “I can talk about it now, but in the moment, it was very difficult to come to that decision.

“It was not light. It was not without a heavy heart.”

Explaining how the COVID-19 lockdown forced them to confront their issues while under the same roof with their kids, she added: “Ben and I spent a lot of time just working on us with a therapist. We’d log into Zoom and we’d do our therapy sessions, and [we] really found the way back.”
