“This is my first time at a Sergio Hudson show, and I’m so honored. He just knows how to dress a woman,” said James, showing off her sequin striped dress. “I’m wearing one of his designs right now. I feel so sexy.”

“Abbott Elementary” recently returned for its third season, and the Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated actress offered a preview of what viewers can expect. “It’s a shorter season because of the strike, so it’s given us the opportunity to introduce some edgier subjects, some more stand-alone episodes, and more hijinks — if you can believe it.”

And there’s even more to come. Last week, the beloved series was renewed for a fourth season.

“I’m so proud of myself because I’ve known for awhile, and I told no one. I didn’t even tell my mom,” said James. “To be renewed after just one episode had dropped — it tells you we’re kind of killin’ it. We’re working hard.”
