Every Emmys Red Carpet Beauty Look I'll Be Thinking About for Weeks to Come

There have been so many incredible red carpet beauty moments the past few months that I don't even know where to start. From Lizzo's slicked-back look at the MTV Video Music Awards to Florence Pugh's showstopping dress and hair at the Venice Film Festival, let's just say my Pinterest board has enough inspiration to last me a lifetime. But as a a beauty-obsessed editor, I've also come to realize that I can't stop and, quite frankly, won't stop. That brings us to the current source of my admiration—the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet beauty looks. Stars arrived to Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles for the annual awards sporting a variety of looks—from Old Hollywood glamour and rhinestones to trendy cuts like the blunt bob. Keep scrolling and prepare to be wowed—stunning looks ahead.

I can't even quite pinpoint what exactly makes this look so perfect. The diamond earrings? The '60s-style hair? The peach lip? All of the above.

Zuri's smoky bronze shadow with a hint of maroon blush is such a wearable look for fall.

Elle's look is giving Old Hollywood glamour in the best way possible. Pinned and curled strands with a platinum necklace complement her dress so well.

I'm totally obsessed with Julia's golden brown eye shadow look here. It really makes her eyes pop. Not to mention those incredible earrings.

I love a rhinestone moment more than anyone, so of course Sheryl's bedazzled braid made the list.

Christina's sleek bob is so on-trend. She also opted for a nude lip so her brown smoky eye shadow could really shine through.

Lily really upped the glamour and went with a sparkly shadow on the lids. Normally, I'd think it wouldn't work with an equally sparkly dress, but she balanced the two so perfectly with this look.

Must-have beauty product: Urban Decay 24/7 Moondust Eyeshadow ($22)

It really is the little things. Hoyeon used a tiny flower as a hair accessory, and it's so so cute.

Nicole's hair alone deserves an award here, but I'm also all about the rosy blush and gorgeous highlight she's sporting.

Must-have beauty product: Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Divine Powder Blush ($39)

Amazingly enough, Issa's whole makeup look is from affordable brand E.l.f. Cosmetics. Yep, you read that right.

Must-have beauty product: E.l.f. Cosmetics C-Bright Putty Primer ($12)

Kaley is definitely leaning into the Barbiecore trend, and I'm here for it. Who doesn't love a rosy-pink lip?

Never underestimate how good simple makeup and slicked-back hair can be. If you were ever having doubts, let Rosario be your proof.

Electric-purple eye shadow is so in. Sasheer kept the rest of her makeup pretty simple and went with a super-bold eye.

Must-have beauty product: Armani Beauty Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eye Shadow ($30)

Rachel's look is subtle, but the lilac shadow on her lids and shimmer on the inner corners is really working for me.

I love that this shade of red is bold but not overtly so. It almost has a hint of pink to it.

Must-have beauty product: Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick ($32)

Another gorgeous bold lip from Alexandra, but I also can't stop staring at her lashes. They look so naturally wispy and long. Talk about goals.
