Reposting because I need to be reminded! Thank you @thesherylleeralph ❤️ Repost from @angelicaross • “Do the work” - @thesherylleeralph 🌹🏆 ESSENCE EXCLUSIVE: Sheryl Lee Ralph is no stranger to the spotlight and our television screens. The legendary actress, singer, author, activist, favorite sitcom mom, and original Dreamgirl has been shining in the entertainment industry for four decades. Before the Emmys, ESSENCE met with the star at the posh Figueroa Hotel to catch up with the first-time Emmy winner in her hotel room. As we entered the room, we saw Ralph surrounded by her attentive glam squad, getting her face polished, nails done, and hair bejeweled. She’s poised, cool, calm, and collected, even hours away from her first Emmy appearance. Department head of hair for ‘Abbott Elementary,’ Moira Frazier, and Ralph’s daughter Coco teamed up to curate her stunning Emmys hairstyle. Both Frazier and hair assistant Christina Joseph worked to create a ‘starry night’ look. With Brandon Blackwood’s first dress wrapped around her body it was appropriate as Ralph was truly the star of the night and shined bright as a diamond. #ESSENCE
