Sheryl Lee Ralph teases that her daughter will be styling her in 'red' for the Super Bowl, but the 'Abbott Elementary' star promises she's rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles
- Sheryl Lee Ralph is performing "Lift Every Voice and Sing" at Super Bowl LVII.
- Ralph told Insider she'll be "wearing red," but may try and sneak some green in there for the Eagles.
When "Abbot Elementary" star Sheryl Lee Ralph performs "Lift Every Voice and Sing" ahead of kickoff at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, she'll rock a look picked out by her daughter, Ivy Coco Maurice.
"She is absolutely styling my look for the Super Bowl," Ralph told Insider while promoting a partnership with Microban 24 on Monday.
When the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles face off, Ralph teased she'll likely represent both teams on the field.
"I'm probably going to have to have green on my feet because I will be wearing red," Ralph said of the look we can expect to see.
Maurice recently told HuffPost her mother will wear a custom look by a young, Black designer.
The 28-year-old entrepreneur and content creator has been styling her mom throughout awards season with talked-about looks at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.
"Every birth pain was worth birthing that child and my son, because the three of us work together now," Ralph said of the family business she's created.
Maurice handles Ralph's styling while her son, Etienne Maurice, is in charge of the Emmy winner's social media and content development.
Ralph said that even though she'll be wearing one of the Chief's colors during her performance, she'll be rooting for the Eagles.
"Just because I'm wearing that red out loud does not mean that I won't be singing 'Fly Eagle Fly' in my heart," Ralph said."
"How can I not? 'Abbott Elementary' takes place in Philadelphia. My husband, Senator Hughes, is the senator for the district," Ralph added. "You know I'm rooting for the Eagles."
Ralph has been married to the Pennsylvania senator since 2005, so it's no surprise she'd want to represent the Eagles with its signature green on Sunday, even if it may not be noticeable at first glance to fans watching on TV.
Leading up to game night, Ralph told us she plans to rest her voice and focus on nailing her performance.
"When I finish this next interview, that will be my last," Ralph said. "I will be going on vocal rest. I will be doing nothing but listening to my song in great preparation for that moment."
