At the 2025 Emmy Awards, S. Epatha Merkerson appeared, showcasing her natural short hair on stage. Known for wearing styled wigs in her role as Lt. Anita Van Buren on Law & Order, Merkerson made a personal style choice for the Emmys.
Merkerson has worn wigs on-screen for years to portray a more coiffed, polished version of her characters. Off-screen, she’s proudly worn natural styles, including twist-locs, which she eventually cut off in favor of a short and natural look (via Los Angeles Times). At the Emmys 2025, her hairline may look different, but she has always flaunted her dreadlocks, instead of wearing a wig, and the Emmys is no exception.
