\u201cWhere is Cordelia Cupp?\u201d was a pivotal question in Netflix\u2019s hit mystery series The Residence<\/a>, and while the avian-obsessed detective might be more comfortable scouting for birds, actress Uzo Aduba looked right at home as she hit the red carpet tonight at the Emmys.<\/p>\n In no small departure from the detective\u2019s go-to brown tweed suit, the star wore an elegant sleeveless gown with a black bodice and a swirling pink train by Safiyaa.<\/p>\n A modern love letter to classic detective mysteries of yore, The Residence centers on Aduba\u2019s Cupp, a brilliant detective tasked with discovering the truth after the White House\u2019s chief usher is found dead inside the presidential residence. The show features a hilarious, star-studded cast including Randall Park, Giancarlo Esposito, Jason Lee, Jane Curtin, and Isiah Whitlock Jr. Aduba\u2019s nomination this evening for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series marks her 6th Emmy nod\u2014if she takes home the statue, she\u2019ll be a 4-time winner.<\/p>\n \u201cI grew up watching Clue and Murder, She Wrote, so I can remember those, and I\u2019ve been a fan of Knives Out, but I don\u2019t know if that was the center of the approach for any of us\u2014certainly not for me,\u201d Aduba told T&C<\/a> earlier this year. She added, \u201cOur show is set outside of the realm of politics, which I love because we’ve seen so many shows not only about Washington, D.C. but also the White House\u2014but I don’t think we’ve ever had a show that is not only set in the East Wing but is spotlighting the people who have always been there. It asks the question: Who runs that house? And I think people will be surprised that it’s not who we think it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
