3 Things They DON’T Tell You About Your First Emmys ✨🏆
1️⃣ Arrive EARLY ⏰ We arrived 1 hr before showtime. I’d suggest even earlier to get all your red carpet photos in that ✨perfect✨daylight. They WILL literally usher you in 10 mins before showtime whether you got your photo or not! 😬🤭 (Did you catch me getting rushed in?! 🤣)
2️⃣ NO RE-ENTRY ⛔️ Once you leave, you can’t come back. Be ready to stay 3+ hrs (No, you can’t go back out to take that pic you didn’t get! Lol). Theater food is available for purchase - $9 Sour Patch Kids 🍬 or $15 cold plastic-encased sandwiches 🥪 (which btw prices were unbeknownst to us… supposedly scans your face & charges your card 💳 as you leave). 😅👛 Pack your protein bars! 💥 🌟 Fun insider secret: when people take breaks, seat fillers run around to keep it looking full! 🪄
3️⃣ The prep underneath is EVERYTHING - What you don’t see makes all the difference. Foot taping, weight shifting insoles under the shoes (5.5 in 👠), but the real MVP? 🏆 🍰 ni**le covers (sticky triangle) under the dress. 👗 These undergarments had me playfully prancing + pirouetting all night - total confidence & zero self-consciousness! 🤗🦋
