Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared on the red carpet for the first time in years on Wednesday.

The 39-year-old actress apologized for appearing ‘wrecked’ on the red carpet on Tuesday, just one day after attending Fox’s upfronts, confessing that she wasn’t prepared for such a long day and ended up looking like a ‘hot mess.’

‘”It has been a really intense couple of days. Like, so great, so blessed—but intense,” the 39-year-old actress stated on Instagram Stories. “We go to the Upfront yesterday and nobody tells me the day is going to be like 12 hours long and the humidity is going to be almost 100 percent in New York City. So, I just have to apologize. Wearing a black suit? Not a good idea. Not wearing enough hairspray and teasing in my hair? Also a bad idea.”

She then went on to say, “I just have to apologize for how wrecked I look in all the pictures that have come out. I was literally melting. By the time I got to the red carpet, I was honestly melting. My hair was flat, my makeup was running off my face and I looked like I had completely forgotten I was an actress in this business who is supposed to look [perfect] when you step on the red carpet.”

She promised fans that in her new TV show, Ryan Murphy’s 9-1-1, she wouldn’t be looking that way.

“That is not what I’m going to look like on the show. I’m going to have makeup on my face. I’m not going to be sweating. I’m not going to be overwhelmed by being in front of a red carpet and crews again. Honestly, I apologise.”

“I should’ve really gotten it together!” she remarked, laughing.

Jennifer will be seen on 9-1-1 as Maddie, Buck’s (Oliver Stark) sister, and it will be her first job after becoming a mother.

‘It is going to be a whole new learning thing,’ she explains, adding that she is ‘really grateful for the opportunity.’

Due to her two babies, Hewitt hadn’t slept “all night,” She stated, “It was our first time traveling with them. Traveling with toddlers…wow. I had no idea. I mean, I waited this long because I knew that it was going to be hard. First of all, let me say: My kids were ballers. Amazing! They did a great job.” Hewitt, who suffers from anxiety and is frightened of flying, enlisted Brian Hallisay’s assistance. She said, “My husband is a saint. He really held it all together.”

Hewitt told her Instagram followers, “I had an amazing time in New York, I had an amazing time with my family, but I’m happy to be home,” despite her dissatisfaction with her looks.
