Sherri Shepherd showcased a reported 50lb weight loss at the New York premiere of her new Lifetime film, appearing in a strapless, beaded royal blue gown.
The 59-year-old actress smiled for photographers in the close-fitting dress, which drew attention to her slimmer figure as she attended the event ahead of the film’s release.
Shepherd stars in Robin Roberts Presents: Angel in the Rubble: The Genelle Guzman Story, portraying Genelle Guzman, who was trapped beneath the wreckage of the World Trade Centre’s North Tower after it collapsed on September 11, 2001.
The film, based on Guzman’s survival story, is due to air on Lifetime on Saturday, September 12, marking the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
Shepherd’s appearance comes as she prepares for another major role, with the actress set to play the Genie in Broadway’s Aladdin from October 16 to January 3.
