‘Only Murders in the Building’ star Da’Vine Joy Randolph on skincare, subtle bling and her secret to always looking svelte
Da’Vine Joy Randolph will be an EGOT winner. It’s just a matter of time. She already has a Golden Globe and an Oscar for her standout performance as Mary Lamb, a grieving mother and cafe worker, in The Holdovers. Her impressive range earned her a Tony nomination for her role as Oda Mae Brown in the Broadway production of Ghost: The Musical. And the scene-stealer received an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Detective Donna Williams on the Hulu comedy Only Murders in the Building, which premiered its fourth season on August 27.
“Details of the show are under wraps,” Alexa Randolph, 38, tells him. “But I will say that Detective Williams is known for being a super-serious, tough detective, and this season we’re going to see her daughter in a new character.” (Something the star understands well. “Every day I push myself to work alongside such icons,” she says, referring to acting vets like Steve Martin, Martin Short and Meryl Streep.)
The Philly-born Yale School of Drama alum’s fashion game is as strong as her acting, wearing bespoke red carpet looks from Louis Vuitton, Rodarté, Zac Posen and Christian Siriano .
However, her true obsession? Glass. “I’ve lost track of how many pairs of sunglasses I have and I always have eye glasses (even though I don’t really need them),” she confesses. “When I was little, I would purposely fail my eye exams so my mom would buy them for me!”
Read on to see which shades are Randolph’s latest favorites, as well as the actor’s recipe for a good close-up, body contouring and cocktail.
“I’m a huge fan of shapewear and when I heard about these, I knew they would be a great fit for me. I love to accentuate my curves and find that these swimsuits emphasize everything you want to show and minimize what you don’t.
“My current obsession is all Loewe sunglasses. They’re chic and timeless, while still having a bit of an edge. They really have frames that look good on everyone!”
“They have the cutest shaped hats that are so iconic. When you see a second one, you know it’s an Essential.
“This bag is perfect for any occasion. You can dress it up or down so easily and it’s a great piece that can elevate any look. Not to mention, there’s more room inside than you’d think and it’s very comfortable to hold!”
“I found a bracelet similar to this while vintage shopping and thought the design was so unique. No matter when I wear it, I always get compliments on it!”
“Speak aloud of my life. Whether I’m feeling good or sad, for big or small moments, that’s always my wish.”
“Dr. Dennis [Gross Skincare] The products are effective enough to get the job done, yet gentle enough for all skin types. This cream has long-lasting hydration, strengthens the skin and makes you glow.”
“You can’t go wrong with Danessa Myricks Beauty! All their products are easy to apply and offer a wide range of colors and highly pigmented shades. They are perfect for everyone from professionals to beginners!”
“I can’t say enough about this brow gel. Provides strong hold without caking. It makes your brows look so good that people will think you just had them laminated!”
“I use wood therapy tools to eliminate cellulite and tighten my body. It’s an old school method that’s tried and true and still works today. Models swear by it and it’s my favorite thing to do in front of a red carpet to grab a hold of!”
“I’m obsessed with the smell of home! I’m a little more of a hoarder when it comes to candles and diffusers. I especially love this one because many of their scents are based on the scents featured in the hotels. Since I travel a lot, it’s fun to pick scents from hotels that I’ve loved. It brings back so many wonderful memories!”
“A Bearaby weighted blanket is on my couch all the time. After a long day, it’s perfect for curling up!”
“I am an avid cook and take my cookware very seriously. Le Creuset cookware not only looks beautiful, but is of such high quality.”
“I love hosting dinner parties and this machine has become a staple in my house! It’s such an easy and fun way to make a cocktail.”
