With exactly a month to go,Sheryl Lee Ralphhas no idea what she’ll be wearing to theEmmy Awards, she revealed on Friday’s episode ofthePEOPLE Every Daypodcastwith host Janine Rubenstein.
“I don’t even have a pair of shoes,” theAbbott Elementarystar, 65, tells Rubenstein. “I need to get it together.”
That’s not to say she’s not taking it seriously, though; she and her daughter Ivy-Victoria Maurice are starting to strategize.
“My daughter does a lot of styling for me,” Ralph said on the podcast. “She was like, We gotta get somebody, the right person, to make you fabulous on that red carpet.”
And no matter what they land on, you can be sure Ralph will be making an entrance to remember.
“I love to slay a red carpet,” Ralph explained. “I love the walk. I love the preparation of it all: Depending upon what side of the car you will be getting out, where is the red carpet? Is that leg in a beautiful shoe? Does the leg come out first and then you turn and you stand and is the train endless? I don’t know, but I can see it in my head!”

“It feels better than you think,” Ralph said. “It is so much of a good vibe. It is so much excitement. I’m tired, I’m happy, I’m busy, I’m confused. I’m overwhelmed. I am so many things all at once and I am loving the moment. Love, love, loving the moment.”
Ralph’s enthusiasm and excitement was on full displayin a clipshe shared of the moment she found out she was nominated.
Ralphspoke to PEOPLE earlier this year, saying she and herAbbott Elementarycostars are genuinely friends.
“I’ve done a lot of series. This does not happen very often to actors,” said Ralph. “You are not often — if ever — put in a group of people who actually like each other, who actually look forward to seeing each other. It’s not hype.It’s not fake. We fit together like a zipper. We just lock perfectly together, and it is a dream come true for all of us.”
