00:00 (upbeat music)

00:02 - Hello variety, I am Samantha Hanratty

00:12 and I'm getting ready for the Emmys right now.

00:14 So come and join me.

00:16 (laughing)

00:23 Let's do this.

00:24 Okay, so one of my must haves is

00:26 something my mom got me off of Amazon.

00:28 It's these like little ball dudes.

00:30 You put it in the fridge and it is literally like,

00:33 it is one of my favorite things,

00:35 especially before getting ready.

00:37 So first, balls on the face.

00:40 (laughing)

00:41 Yeah.

00:41 My personal style like is very comfort driven.

00:46 Like I like am a very sweats,

00:49 like I mean pretty much every time

00:50 that most of the people here see me,

00:52 like I'm usually in sweats or like a t-shirt.

00:56 I love wearing like my husband's t-shirts

00:58 with like tucked into my jeans as like my vibe.

01:01 For red carpets, I think it's really just like

01:05 trying to understand what it is that I'm trying to convey.

01:07 Like, am I going to feel really sexy tonight

01:10 or am I going for more of just like a very feminine vibe

01:12 or am I going for more of like

01:14 diving into more of my masculine vibe?

01:16 Like it really is just dependent on what the event is.

01:19 This is actually, not many people know this.

01:22 I snuck onto the red carpet last year.

01:24 I was not invited onto the carpet last year

01:27 because due to COVID restrictions,

01:30 they were only allowing people who were nominated.

01:33 And I may or may not have seen my opening

01:37 and was like, you know what?

01:38 My show's nominated and that door is open right there.

01:42 So I'm just going to walk through it.

01:44 And I did.

01:45 (upbeat music)

01:48 I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was two years old.

01:52 I literally told my mom, I was like,

01:54 I want to be on stage and TV.

01:55 Like I knew I was going to be an actor

01:58 really out of the womb.

01:59 I don't know if it was like I wanted attention

02:01 from being like the youngest of five girls

02:04 or just the love of entertaining.

02:07 Yeah, you can really make people feel something.

02:10 And I think like my favorite thing about acting too

02:13 is like getting to tell the stories of people

02:15 that don't always have a story told about them, you know?

02:18 And so, yeah, I mean, I love my job so much.

02:23 And I mean, I'm still doing it 20, 22 years later.

02:27 I wish there was more of a difference

02:30 between me and Misty's style.

02:31 There have been moments on set, I have shown up.

02:34 One of our cast mates, Maya, she literally goes,

02:39 oh my God, she was like,

02:40 she was like, your wardrobe looks so clean today.

02:43 And I looked at her, I said, Maya, this is my outfit.

02:46 Oh, season one, there's one, I literally told them,

02:49 they were like, if there were a couple of clothing

02:51 that like burned in the fire,

02:52 what would like you be okay with?

02:54 And one of them, I was like,

02:54 please burn this orange shirt.

02:57 It's the whole look, the shorts, the shirt, the every,

03:01 oh my God, oh my God, somebody help her.

03:05 I could not be caught wearing this,

03:07 but Misty, on the other hand, look at that confidence.

03:10 She is strutting her stuff.

03:13 She's never felt better in her life.

03:15 Literally, oh my God, I can't.

03:17 When we wrap, I want my kitty sweater,

03:21 but I'd rather not have the bloody, dirty versions.

03:24 I'd rather have the clean versions.

03:27 I'm wearing Dolce and Gabbana tonight,

03:29 which I am so grateful.

03:31 I love wearing Dolce and Gabbana.

03:34 I believe I wore Dolce and Gabbana

03:35 to the premiere as well, right?

03:37 I did, and it was like one of my favorite dresses ever.

03:40 It was, honestly, the premiere dress

03:41 was one of my favorite looks ever.

03:43 That was very, very me.

03:45 Hair and makeup too.

03:47 - Which one was the premiere?

03:48 - It was the premiere was the black Dolce and Gabbana,

03:51 like it was, yes, yes, yes.

03:52 And then it was like, you had did the half up and down,

03:54 you had the long hair.

03:56 Oh, it was just, once again,

03:57 like an amazing collaboration of the whole team.

04:00 Like it was so good.

04:02 Eddie added that long, beautiful hair and like that slick back.

04:05 Adam did the beautiful like tie in

04:08 with the eye and the cheek.

04:09 And it just, oh, it was just gorgeous.

04:11 I've also, one of my favorite looks, Katie,

04:14 it was Versace, right?

04:16 That purple, that purple dress

04:18 is one of my favorite looks that we've done too.

04:20 Like that was, Versace just like hugs the body

04:24 and makes you feel so confident and beautiful.

04:27 - Well, one of my favorite things

04:28 that I've learned from Adam actually

04:29 is just like being able to go in.

04:31 Like I now like go in and try and clear out

04:33 like my sinuses and everything

04:34 before I even start with my makeup.

04:37 And I use like, my go-to's are Osea and Illya.

04:41 Those are like, I use Osea when it comes to my skincare

04:44 and I use Illya when it comes to my makeup.

04:46 And that's like my go-to for myself.

04:49 And I, yeah, I think that's like all the tips and tricks

04:52 though of just like the contour points

04:55 and like also just like the beautiful blending.

04:58 I think more than anything,

04:59 like I just like paying attention to what Adam's doing

05:02 and always making sure that you match.

05:04 That's why we pulled this down

05:05 is so that we make sure that we match the neck

05:07 and the chest to the face.

05:08 'Cause we've all seen those girls

05:11 and I've been one of those girls.

05:13 Things like this, like honestly,

05:14 I love learning from this team.

05:17 I love learning from this group.

05:19 Like it's, it really is, like it's so fun.

05:21 And like, I mean, I trust them for a reason.

05:24 Like, look at me.

05:25 (laughs)

05:26 I'm a, look at this, look at this, look at me.

05:30 I was up for a movie in November and I did not get it.

05:35 And so like we all do in breakups, we need a change.

05:38 So I went and got like a little shag cut

05:41 and I got baby bangs.

05:43 And then I remembered that we had the Emmys coming up

05:46 and I kind of freaked out and was like, oh my God,

05:47 what did I just do before this?

05:50 And now the team, we're doing like kind of a homage

05:53 to Audrey Hepburn, which I love.

05:55 Honestly, Katie was the one who first told me,

05:57 she was like, the dresses are kind of inspired

06:00 by where your bangs are at.

06:02 And then we like showed the boys,

06:05 like this is like what the dress is,

06:07 is what we're thinking.

06:08 And now Eddie's kind of taking a, you know,

06:11 his own approach to the pictures that we had sent.

06:14 So that's kind of how it usually goes.

06:15 It's like, we send pictures

06:17 and then everybody does their own version

06:19 of like how they feel about that.

06:20 And then afterwards, I'm sure he's gonna go,

06:23 what do you think of this?

06:24 We're gonna like, you know, filter it out.

06:26 And that's, I mean, that's why it's so easy

06:29 to work with these guys, you know.

06:30 I'm about to put on my jewels.

06:32 I'm not going to, I'm going to have Katie do it.

06:35 This is Bray Jewels.

06:37 Look at this necklace.

06:39 This is like my princess diaries moment.

06:43 So is this also Bray?

06:45 - Yeah, it's all Bray.

06:45 - It's all Bray.

06:47 Ooh, I'm also wearing studs.

06:49 So yeah, so honestly, like I like very simple jewelry.

06:53 I usually like very dainty pieces,

06:55 but if it's gonna be like a statement piece like this,

06:58 then it's like, this is really, I mean, it's so beautiful.

07:02 It's so stunning.

07:02 It's so perfect.

07:04 So my smell of the day is Lume, Lume, Lume.

07:09 Whole body deodorant for pits, privates and beyond.

07:13 Invisible cream, it is toasted coconut.

07:16 This is what I will be smelling like today

07:19 because I'm not the biggest perfume person.

07:23 Also, we're in a hotel and I forgot to bring my perfume.

07:25 Honestly, whenever I'm getting ready,

07:27 like sometimes I'll just put like a playlist on Spotify.

07:31 It's like a happy day playlist.

07:33 It's a lot of like, I don't know, like,

07:35 I got sunshine, you know, like kind of shit.

07:39 Just like happy, like, you know,

07:41 and kind of in the background though,

07:43 because honestly, whenever we're getting ready,

07:45 we like to chat.

07:47 But if we do listen to music, it's pretty hyped music.

07:50 It's pretty, you know, Taylor Swift is the,

07:52 she's the one to go to for having a good time

07:55 before you're about to show up somewhere.

07:57 Especially if I wanna feel moody,

07:58 I'll listen to like "The Man" and I'm like,

08:00 I was the man, I'd be the man, you know?

08:03 But yeah, that's me.

08:04 Before I get to an event,

08:06 I get my stomach completely twists.

08:09 I get really, I'm really overwhelmed.

08:12 I like check myself and like my phone like a million times.

08:15 I just start to get like really like, oh my God, like,

08:17 and then I, did I figure out like what I'm,

08:20 how I'm gonna pose, how I'm gonna do this or that?

08:22 And I know it's gonna get really overwhelming.

08:24 And then the second that I actually get on the carpet,

08:26 it's like all of that just kind of goes away.

08:28 And it's like, I don't know, it's kind of like performing.

08:30 You know, you're like so nervous beforehand

08:31 and then you just get into it and you're like, okay,

08:34 like I'm just here to do the job now.

08:37 And I'm also here, like the second I see friends.

08:40 Like Quinta is one of my favorite people to see

08:42 at events like this.

08:43 It's like every time that we see each other,

08:45 it's just, it feels so warm and feels so happy.

08:48 And I'm so excited for her 'cause she just,

08:51 she's not just an actor, she's this creative boss.

08:54 She's, you know, this director and she's this writer

08:57 and she's this, she's just, she is, she's the boss.

08:59 She's the boss of the show.

09:00 She's a leader.

09:01 I remember last Emmys, like I saw Kaitlyn Dever

09:04 and Kaitlyn I've known since I was like 11 years old.

09:08 Like literally she was in a music video of mine

09:10 when I was 13 called "Finally a Teen."

09:13 Like, you know, we've known each other for so long.

09:15 And so when I get to see people that I know and I love

09:18 and I'm so proud of them and happy for them

09:20 and it just makes this whole thing so much easier

09:22 and you go like, oh my God, like it's not,

09:26 it's not so scary.

09:27 This is just, it's a bunch of people trying to pose

09:31 for cameras, trying to look cute.

09:32 And like, sometimes it's so funny too.

09:34 Like when you see people, like if you see me go from like,

09:37 ha ha, like it's so goofy.

09:39 Like what are we doing?

09:40 You know?

09:41 So it makes it not so scary once like that,

09:44 the nerves go away after that.

09:45 Oh my gosh.

09:48 Okay, this is the look.

09:49 This is the look.

09:50 I mean, we still have got to pin in,

09:51 but you know, this is close to being the look.

09:54 I am obsessed.

09:56 I feel like a little princess right now.

09:58 Oh my gosh.

09:59 Look at it, look at it.

10:00 And Versace shoes we've got.

10:04 Goes with my tattoos of course.

10:07 And still change up on a dress.

10:09 Ray jewels, I mean, with my, with my wedding ring as well.
