On her nomination she added: “How could you not love people paying attention to you and with positive feedback – it’s the best. I mean you don’t do it for that, but when you get it, it’s the cherry on top of a really great job.”

Although Seyfried’s work on the Hulu series earned her first-ever Emmy nominations, the 36-year-old actressoriginally turned down the role as the fraudulent Theranos founder.

While it meant time away from her family –husband Thomas Sadoski, 46, and their two children, daughterNina, 5, and theirson Thomas, 1, – she couldn’t walk away from the complex and challenging part. “It’s really going to be difficult,” she toldThe Hollywood Reportin February. “It’s a huge challenge. But I can’t believe that I get a challenge like this.”

Seyfried’s continuously growing portfolio of performances has come with a catalog of memorable ensembles, on and off screen. Over the years, theMama Mia!star has shown to be the name of the fashion game.

She further tapped into the old-school glamour with a chignon framed with finger waves and a crimson red lip with a burgundy eyeshadow look to match.

In February 2021, Seyfried made a case for stay-at-home glam in apeachy, ruffled Oscar de la Renta gownand yellow-hued Forevermark diamond earrings for the virtualGolden Globes.

“The flowers blooming remind me of Amanda,” Seyfried’s stylist Elizabeth Stewart told PEOPLE of the look.

While barely making it to Seyfried’s home in Georgia – “the dress was lost for an entire 36 hours on its way to Savannah,” Stewart told PEOPLE at the time – the sartorial vision came to life in what Stewart described as a look that “felt just right for her first Globes nomination.”
