Sheryl Lee Ralph is ever the icon in the Rhea Costa Salma dress, Tiffany & Co glasses and Chanel earrings. She added a touch of home with a purse by Jamaican-American designer Brandon Blackwood, who designed the dress she wore to the Emmys in 2022, where she won her first Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the role of Barbara Howard in 'Abbott Elementary'.
