Sheryl Lee Ralph Wore a Blinged-Out Ponytail Braid on the 2022 Emmys Red Carpet
It's been an especially exciting and meaningful week for the Dreamgirls star: Ralph attended the Glamour and Tory Burch Emmys luncheon over the weekend, where she was surprised with a framed copy of her Glamour's College Women of the Year feature circa 1975.
Upon accepting the gift, Ralph gave a brief history lesson (staying in character, I see). “When I put this together, I was 17 years old, I was a sophomore at Rutgers College, and when I found out that I won, it was a big deal because Rutgers was a historically male college,” Ralph told fellow attendees, which included Sydney Sweeney, Issa Rae, Rachel Brosnahan, and Abbott Elementary costar Quinta Brunson. “So I was in the first class of women, and winning this, it made all the men on campus wonder, ‘What the hell is going on?! What is Glamour magazine?’”

But the best part of all? The president of the university personally congratulated a young Ralph at the time. “He said, ‘For the first class of women, for you to make a global statement, we are so proud and we made the right choice,’” she recalled.
