Ellie Kemper has made her name playing a naive character who mostly dresses like a tween in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. But when she stepped onto the red carpet for the 2016 Emmy Awards, at which she’s nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy, she looked like a sophisticated woman.

She cut her gorgeous red hair to a midlength bob, which could easily be more practical than stylish for the new mom. Except it didn’t look boring or matronly in the least. It was swept over with a dramatic part and a swooping effect at the brow. Her left side was tucked behind her ear, and the whole look was smoothed out, with not a single hair out of place. Paired with a red lip and understated eye makeup, the effect was somewhere between 1940s Hollywood glam and futuristic bosslady. She wore a golden Jenny Packham gown that she told E!’s Giuliana Rancic made her feel “very princess-like.”
