Emmys 2022: Natalie Zea of TV’s La Brea stuns on the red carpet

Blonde bombshell Natalie Zea stunned as she showed up to her first ever Emmy Awards on Monday evening.

That’s because the actress got a do-over by Angelina Jolie’s expert stylist Jen Rade, who has delivered some of the Oscar-winner’s top red carpet looks. 

The Texas-born Zea was as a solo presenter at the big show, hosted by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and held in downtown Los Angeles at the Microsoft Theater. The vet of the TV shows Justified and The Detour is now on the hit series La Brea about time traveling back to Los Angeles in 10,000 BC.

Zea is a Hollywood vet with several hit shows under her belt including Eyes, Dirty Sexy Money, The Detour, The Following, Justified (which is getting a reboot) and Hung.

La Brea is a big change for the looker who was last on the black comedy TBS series The Detour with Jason Jones. But the Texas native is happy about the new pace, even if it was physically exhausting.

‘I made sure to get as good a shape as I could before I left for the shoot, knowing I would have to run a lot,’ Zea told DailyMail.com.

‘I did a lot of running, I mean a lot!’ she added of the shoot in Melbourne, Australia. ‘I had to be in great shape.’

On the first episode she had to run from the sinkhole under the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles. And once she landed in a primeval time, she had to run from aggressive animals like dire wolves and saber tooth cats.

The synopsis for season one: A massive sinkhole opens up in the middle of Los Angeles, separating a family between two worlds. The mother and son fall into an unexplainable primeval land alongside a group of strangers trying to figure out where they are, and how to get back home. 

Now season two is coming out.
