What is Issa Rae's net worth? Actress flaunts diamond encrusted grill at Emmys 2021

Issa Rae recently stunned her fans after wearing a diamond-encrusted grill at the 73rd Emmy Awards. The actress looked gorgeous in a metallic Aliétte fishnet gown paired with Fernando Jorge earrings and classy makeup.

The Insecure star made sure to flaunt her diamond grill while smiling for the cameras. The accessory from Grillz by Scotty is reportedly made with 22-karat gold and white diamonds. The 36-year-old also grabbed eyeballs with her shimmery purple eyeshadow that enhanced her glam look.

The Golden Globe Award nominee also documented her preparations for the event on her Instagram story. Popular makeup artist Joanna Simkin created her bold purple eye while hairstylist Felicia Leatherwood did her sleek hairdo.

In an interview with InStyle, Simkin shared the secret behind the bold eye:

"The best way to keep a bold eye soft is to blend out the edges using loose translucent powder, so the color washes out to the skin tone with no hard edges. It's such a fun trick to allow your eye to still be the main focal point of the look, without it being overpowering or harsh."

She also talked about Issa Rae’s love for grills:

"She loves a grill, and this was such a perfect moment for some of that added bling."

However, most of the Awkward Black Girl creator’s look was created using drugstore products. Simkin used a pallet from e.l.f for the glamorous makeup, with her purple eyeshadow costing an affordable $3. Meanwhile, the Studio 24 crystal mesh outfit was designed by stylist Jason Rembert.

Issa Rae was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series and Executive Producer for A Black Lady Sketch Show at the 2021 Emmys.
