- Emilia Clarke
- Mandy Moore
- Kerry Washington
- Naomi Watts
- Sandra Oh
- Ashley Nicolette Frangipane
Zendaya
For the Emmy Awards, Zendaya wore an emerald green corset gown by Vera Wang, and boy did she look hot! We loved how subtle her makeup was, with just a hint of shimmer on her eyelids. Defined brows, subtle contouring and a super nude glossy pout completed her look. What we loved the most about her look was the deep side-parted, red hair that provided the perfect contrast to her outfit.
Eris Baker
Talk about drama! This is Us star Eris Baker’s eye makeup was so stunning. We are all for pastel eye makeup, and we are totally digging this look. The shimmery purple and pink eyeshadow paired with a chunky glitter highlighter was lit!
Sophie Turner
We loved the coordinated look Sophie Turner put together. Sticking to the pastel pink and nude zone, we couldn’t get enough of the actress’s flesh-toned glossy lips, delicate slip dress, beautiful choker necklace and perfectly coiffed half-up half-down hairdo. We also loved the hint of pink shimmery pink eyeshadow on her lids, which she has paired with oodles of mascara!
Lily Singh
Lily Singh managed to steal our hearts once again with her hair and makeup game at the Emmys. We loved the one-shoulder layered gown that she paired with lilac eyes, fluttery lashes and a beautiful nude pout. But we are totally crushing over her big, voluminous high ponytail with that cute faux fringe!
Emilia Clarke
The Mother of Dragons may have given up on her flowing blonde tresses, but we love how she is still making an impact in this plunging navy gown by Valentino. Her hair and makeup is a minimalist's answer to something sultry. Although her makeup was extremely simple with defined brows, classic eyeliner and a nude glossy pout, we loved how her side-swept, mid-parted poker straight tresses complement the silhouette of the gown.
Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore was easily one of the Emmys’ best-dressed celebrities. And that pink and red gown was definitely a showstopper. We loved her ‘fresh-as-a-daisy’ glowing makeup with a soft brown smokey eye and matte nude lipstick. Her textured lob took her look a notch higher.
Kerry Washington
Dressed in Alexandre Vauthier couture, Kerry Washington is a sight to behold! Everything from her faux fringe to sky-high ponytail are giving us serious hair goals. And that’s not all; you can’t miss the kohl-rimmed eyes with that oh-so-dramatic winged eyeliner.
Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts is giving out serious princess vibes dressed in this Jeanann Williams black corset gown. The sleek deep side-parted tucked bob is pure goals. She stuck to the classic combination of a black dress and red lip with barely-there eye makeup, and we are not complaining!
Sandra Oh
Sandra Oh’s hairstyle was a sure winner. Dressed in a pretty pink off-shoulder gown, she opted for a monochrome makeup look that was subtle and fresh, very much in sync with her pretty dress. But what we loved about her look was the messy, gravity-defying textured updo.
Ashley Nicolette Frangipane
Singer Halsey’s (Ashley Nicolette Frangipane) sequined lavender gown looked drop-dead gorgeous. The textured pineapple, grunge bun perfectly complemented the off-shoulder silhouette. A subtle winged eyeliner, matte pink lips and fluttery lashes put her entire look together.
