Rachael Ray is unrecognizable during quarantine

To be abundantly clear, there’s no reason anyone should be wearing full hair and makeup in quarantine unless they want to, and Rachael Ray is no different. In fact, her everyday look on television is often quite simple, too, with just enough makeup to stand out for the cameras.

In quarantine, Ray is even more relaxed with little to no visible makeup, naturally messy hair, and usually a pair of sweatpants. She actually looks super cute and comfy in her kitchen in the Instagram videos, and it seems to fit in with her easygoing, no-worries-attitude brand of cooking, too. Why make a fuss in quarantine when the coronavirus pandemic is stressful enough? 

During the at-home shows, she jokes around with hubby John Cusimano, and her pitbull, Isaboo, often makes an appearance. It also gives fans a very fun and intimate look into her home kitchen — she sometimes misplaces the garlic, per the Associated Press, which, along with the relaxed quarantine look, feels very on-brand for the low-budget cooking guru. “This is a weird time. I can’t say there’s a silver lining… but there are found moments every day,” she said in the first video, again per the AP. 

She’s staying busy at the very least, but she’s also giving back during these strange times.
