It was an eventful Emmys night for Melissa Peterman! The actress joined E!’s Countdown to the Emmys before walking the red carpet with her co-star and friend Reba McEntire and then presenting an award. But first, she took a moment to get everything in order before the celebrities arrived.
Melissa shared a video ahead of the show of herself slaying the red carpet in full glam, wearing a black dress with a sheer organza overlay by Staud. For the evening, she chose a dramatic updo to complete the look, which she said was inspired by Brigitte Bardot.
In the video, she proclaims, “The red carpet is ready” because “Meryl Streep is on her way!” Melissa’s fans showed their appreciation in the comments section with messages like, “You are the funniest!❤️” and “There’s a reason you’ve been one of my favorite actors and people since I was a kid! You always bring laughs and heart! By the way, you look STUNNING!!✨🙌🏼💋💕” Another fan wrote, “This epic video says more about your incredible heart than your incredible comedy… Thank you for this moment and have SO MUCH FUN tonight! ❤️”
Melissa later donned a lavender dress as she took the stage with Reba to present the award for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series. Her fans on Instagram praised her for the “Best presentation of the night 😁❤️🔥.”
Luckily for Melissa Peterman fans, we will be seeing a lot more of her this fall. She is set to star alongside Reba again in Happy’s place, and she will reportedly reprise her role as Brenda Sparks in Georgie and Mandy’s first marriagethe new Young Sheldon spin off.
