Whether you watched any of the nominated shows or not, it’s always fun to check out the Emmys red carpet. On Sunday, Sept. 14, stars showed up at the event in Los Angeles wearing their best — featuring plenty of naked ensembles, sleek tuxes, and jewel-encrusted gowns.

To complement their fancy black tie ‘fits, celebs donned equally show-stopping beauty looks. Jenna Ortega made an appearance wearing extremely Wednesday-coded glam, featuring the ultimate vampy lip. Selena Gomez paired her fire-red gown with peach-hued makeup for a statement-making color story. Actors Hannah Einbinder, Michelle Williams, Sarah Catherine Hook, and more sported bobs — one of the evening’s most striking hair trends. And that’s just a teaser.

Other stars opted for glossy blowouts, glowing skin, and classic red lips. Meanwhile, bolder touches — like shimmery lids and thick flicks of eyeliner — added personality to even the most traditional looks. For more beauty inspo, keep scrolling for the standout hair and makeup moments from the 2025 Emmys — each of which deserves a spot on your fall mood board.
