Key Takeaways

• Ordway was one of the Y&R stars in attendance for the 52nd Daytime Emmys.
• The actress got red-carpet ready with the help of her husband and daughters.
• Ordway and her co-stars had a fun time at the awards ceremony and the after-party.

Ordway Had Help From Mommy’s Helpers

The Daytime Emmys are a special event for soap stars. Every year, actors and actresses dress to the nines as they celebrate the soap world’s accomplishments. Ordway was one of the many Y&R cast members on hand to cheer on the show and her co-stars.

The actress dazzled on the red carpet with her red dress and jewels. But before walking and attending the ceremony, Ordway had a busy morning. On Instagram, the star posted a video of her activities the day of the Emmys.

The video started with Ordway, her husband Justin Gaston, and their daughters Olivia and Sophie walking down the street. “Good morning, everybody!” Ordway greeted her Instagram followers. “It is Emmy day, and I have my whole crew right here to help me get ready.”

The family enjoyed a breakfast of waffles and coffee before heading back to their hotel. Ordway then prepared for the Daytime Emmys with her daughters’ help. “Every year, it’s a tradition for the Emmys that my glam squad I have right here help me get ready. It’s a family tradition,” the actress said as Olivia and Sophie smiled for the camera.

Unfortunately, there was one minor mishap with Ordway’s dress not being steamed in time. So the actress relied on the shower method, which did the trick. Once the dress situation was fixed, it was time for hair and makeup.

The Final Reveal

After a busy morning and afternoon of getting ready, it was time for the big reveal. Ordway looked stunning in her red ensemble, complete with matching lipstick. “Glam squad worked their magic,” the camera panned to her family who was thrilled with their work.

With Ordway ready, it was time to head off to the ceremony. The star posed for photos on the red carpet, then mingled with co-stars Melissa Claire Egan and Sean Dominic before taking her seat.

It was a fun night for Ordway and the Y&R cast and crew. The actress was ecstatic when her co-star and fellow Georgia native, Susan Walters, won the Emmy for Supporting Actress.
