'I was shocked. I sort of put it out of my mind that it was even happening,' she says of her Emmy nomination. 'I think often you’re less disappointed when you don’t expect something, and I was like, if it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, that’s life'

At an intimate dinner held at the Parrish Art Museum, Erivo — who was recently nominated for an Emmy for her role as Aretha Franklin in Genius: Aretha — diligently went around to each table to say hello to guests.
After a more than challenging year, it was heartwarming to see guests enjoying a meal and discussing the things that have brought us joy. As Erivo noted, “There is nothing better than gathering around a table and enjoying an evening of laughter, conversation, and connection with wonderful hearts and minds alike.” It didn’t hurt to have a bit of fun fashion in the mix, as Erivo donned an army-green and neon look by Alexander McQueen along with Bottega Veneta mules.
Of her Emmy nomination, Erivo told the Cut, “I was shocked. I sort of put it out of my mind that it was even happening.” She added: “I was crying my eyes out. I knew that there were incredible performances, and I guess I just didn’t expect it. I think often you’re less disappointed when you don’t expect something, and I was like, if it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, that’s life. So it feels good to see people celebrate Aretha.

Philharmonic at the iconic Hollywood Bowl debut on July 30 on the horizon, plus a new children’s book, Remember to Dream, Ebere, and her first solo album, Ch. 1 Vs. 1, coming out in September, you’d think Erivo would be easing into summer. Instead, she’s preparing to run the New York City Marathon. “I try and challenge myself,” she says.

Erivo lit up in her reply: “Well, we know that Miss Phoebe Philo is coming back, and I’m saving up pennies!” We couldn’t agree more.
