Whether she’s creating the most iconic viral videos like 2021’s hit “Hi Gay,” or starring in the nine-time Emmy-winning show Hacks, Meg is really that girl.
If you recently saw her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which I believe is true performance art, you’d probably think, Wow, that actor is doing too much — and you’d be absolutely right.
Currently, Meg is the star of Lena Dunham’s Netflix series Too Much, and like my incessant need to force puns into every conversation, it’s a show that’s so unapologetic it will unite old and new fans of Lena lore from start to finish. HBO’s Girls hive, stand up. We are so back.
Speaking of unapologetic, Meg’s comedic timing isn’t something she’s only mastered for TV and movies. Her red carpet appearances are something to look at like when she wore a Di Pesta dress with a prom queen sash flaunting that she’s the “Best Gay Actor.”
On July 17, at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, a bunch of celebrities hit the carpet for Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers’s zeigeisty award show, and everybody served up a different tasty dish of slayage.
Everybody and their mother were in attendance, including Alison Janney, Alison Brie and Dave Franco, Quinta Brunson, Ana Gasteyer, and Parvati Shallow.
She rocked a Diet Coke box bodice with a cute black skirt and a tasteful Diet Coke accessory, and the look will make you giggle, scratch your head, and snap your fingers simultaneously.
A fellow writer reminded me that this might be the impact of Lisa Barlow from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and honestly, I see the vision.
When talking to Variety’s Marc Malkin, Meg said of her look, “This is not a brand deal, by the way. I’m trying to get more work. I’m trying to get a brand deal. It’s what all the girls are doing.”
Meg, I hope you get that brand deal because this ensemble is hilarious and creative. I hope she starts a trend because I would love to see somebody like Sabrina Carpenter dressed as a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.
Too Much starring Meg and Will Sharpe is now streaming on Netflix.
The Las Culturistas Culture Awards are set to air on Aug. 5, on Bravo from 9-11 p.m. ET, and will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
