All the Best Beauty Looks From the 2024 Emmys

Major hair, makeup, and nail inspiration ahead.

It’s Hollywood’s big night celebrating excellence in television.

After being postponed due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the Emmys returned on January 15, and the red carpet was back with a vengeance. While TV’s brightest stars laid the glamour on thick on the fashion front, there were countless standout moments on the beauty front.

After all, TV’s biggest night has seen many iconic hair and makeup moments throughout the decades. Think: Barbra Streisand’s winning an award for her first TV special, My Name Is Barbra, with a mod pixie cut and graphic eyeliner in 1965 or Zendaya taking home an Emmy statuette for Euphoria with a swept-back bouffant and rose lip in 2022.

Tonight, the most talked-about beauty moments fell into two camps: Simple elegance and bold statement-maker. In the former, it was no surprise to see Claire Danes looking as timeless as ever with an S-waved bob and soft pink lip. Meanwhile, for Selena Gomez and Simona Tabasco, it was all about taking a bold lip to the extreme, sporting a deep oxblood and ultra-bright fuchsia, respectively. But perhaps the biggest statement of all? Ali Wong’s indigo smoky eyes framed by her signature frames.

Below, scroll through all the best beauty looks from the 2024 Emmys.

Riley Keough

Nodding to her grandmother Priscilla Presley’s iconic beauty, Riley Keough wore a teased, bow-tied half-up and charcoal eyeshadow punctuated by feline flicks. “I wanted to keep her makeup pretty and soft with a smudge along the eyes to pair with her ’60s hair,” says makeup artist Mai Quynh, who used Chanel’s Ombre Première Libre Loose Eyeshadow Intense, Longwear Colour in Mûrier Noir to create the eye look.

Ali Wong

Ali Wong brought the drama! The Beef star wore translucent cat-eye frames with a set of denim-inspired smoky eyes. Her makeup artist, Daniel Martin, used Diorshow 5 Couleurs Couture 5 in #279 Denim for the bold eye moment. Meanwhile, her hairstylist, Clayton Hawkins, gave her a set of side-swept Old Hollywood waves using ghd’s Curve Soft Curl iron.

Padma Lakshmi

Always one for a vivid dose of color, Padma Lakshmi wore neon-bright pink lips painted on by her makeup artist, William Scott. The former Top Chef host also wore matching fuchsia eyeliner along her waterlines. As for her glow, Scott used Delavie Sciences' Aeonia Age Defying Serum for a dose of dewy hydration.

Sophie Nélisse

Yellowjackets star Sophie Nélisse served up a sultry eye statement with her gaze smoked out in a burnt copper shadow by makeup artist Lilly Keys. A sleek updo and muted coral lip finished the look.

Issa Rae

To craft Issa Rae's look for the night, makeup artist Joanna Simkin drew inspiration from the classic glamour of Diana Ross and Diahann Carroll. Full falsies and Chanel's Ombre Première Laque Longwear Liquid Eyeshadow in Rayon were used for her gilded gaze. A plume-embellished updo helped Rae maximize the glamour.

Want to recreate her luminous lip? First, apply Lancôme L'Absolu Intimate Soft Matte Lipstick in cool berry brown 440 Got Me Blushing to the center of the lips and blend outward. Then, add a swipe of Lancôme Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss in 01 Pure for a vinyl finish.

Rachel Brosnahan

Supplying a lesson in color coordination, Rachel Brosnahan matched a wash of burgundy eyeshadow to her corseted Versace dress.
