The Absolute Best Hair, Makeup, and Beauty Looks at the 2024 Emmys
The 76th Emmy Awards has returned to its usual September slot, and everything feels right again. Awards season has officially commenced, which means our eyes will be glued to screens for the foreseeable future to witness all the wins, including all the red carpet-worthy beauty looks that will infiltrate our group chats come morning.
If the 76th Emmy Awards are any indication of what’s to come, the popular “clean makeup” trend is now rivaled by experimental, moody beauty. The dramatic shift in color palettes signals a shift in season. While soft, fresh-faced makeup will always remain a classic, the stars of the red carpet were the varying shades of fall-ready lips. They say the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice—and deep, burgundy hues proved to be worth the squeeze, thanks to looks by Laverne Cox, Ella Purnell, and more. On the softer side, stars like Selena Gomez and Anna Sawai championed the “clean makeup” look, with barely-kissed flushed cheeks and nude lips.
See what looks we’re gushing about, from updated versions of the timeless deep side parts to all those berry-hued lips.
Vampy - Laverne Cox
Sorry to all the muted, soft pink lips we wore this past summer—there’s a new sheriff in town, and she’s moody, dark, and sultry. Laverne Cox went full vamp with berry colored eyelids and an even deeper, oxblood pout to match.

Glossy Red Lips - Morphine Love Dion
Red lips are always a red carpet staple, but a formula change can make all the difference. Add a glossy top coat to your red lipstick for an elevated, playful update to the classic style, à la Morphine Love Dion and Ilona Maher.

Soft & Sweet - Selena Gomez
For the fall-averse folks, delicate, monochromatic looks were still prevalent on the carpet. The color of choice? Soft, blush pink, of course. The looks consisted of softly kissed cheeks and muted lips.

Deep Side Parts - Saoirse Ronan
Side parts have gotten a bad rap in recent years, thanks to Gen Z. But stars like Saoirse Ronan and Naomi Watts prove the hairstyle still looks pretty fabulous. If you’ve been a side part apologist throughout the rise of the middle part, stay strong—the tide may be turning back in your favor.
