Anya Taylor-Joy's 2021 Emmys beauty look screamed glamour through and through. The Queen's Gambit star kept it classic with a voluminous updo, shimmery eyes, wispy lashes, and a matte, red lip. We love it!
2. Michaela Coel

Neons are back, and Michaela Coel's bold red carpet look is absolute proof. Apart from sporting a close-cropped buzz cut that made her look like an absolute badass, the British actor matched her neon gown to her winged liner — and we're here for it.
3. Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen's 2021 Emmys look was a departure from her long locks. The WandaVision star, often seen with flaming red hair, chose to wear a sleek, parted lob and TBH, we're loving this lewk. Add in the rust-hued makeup that's totally in line with this year's fall makeup trends, and you've got a total winner!
4. Mindy Kaling

Mindy's soft, s-shaped waves and side-parted hair are a true symbol of old Hollywood glam, and her makeup matches up too. The Never Have I Ever showrunner kept her cheeks pink and peachy and opted for a subtle smokey eye with a slightly pink, glossy lip.
5. Tracee Ellis Ross

Tracee Ellis Ross' lewk seemed to be a subtle, graceful nod to the days of Studio 54 and a little retro, disco glam. She looked like a total showstopper with big hair that boasted of voluminous curls, and her muted, minimal face and lip colour didn't take away from it either.
6. Emma Corrin

Emma Corrin's 2021 Emmys beauty look was quintessential French girl beauty through and through. The Crown star opted for a healthy-looking, dewy base and kept everything looking rosy-fresh. Bonus points for the unique bonnet!
