The stars came out tonight on the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet, unveiling newly styled hair and makeup looks Bazaar editors couldn’t stop buzzing about. As seen at previous award shows this season, the popularity of hair accessories like bows and feathers shows no sign of diminishing, nor do bold makeup looks to anchor custom gowns and structured suits. For a closer look at the glam we’re bookmarking from the 2023 Emmys, read on for the short list of some of our favorite beauty looks of the night.
Riley Keough
Celebrity stylist Gregory Russell added volume to the Daisy Jones & The Six star’s hair with a blow-dry and a lightweight mousse from Pureology, before adding a well-placed bow for a polished finish. Makeup artist Mai Quynh added the perfect complement to the delicate bow: Chanel's soft pink 31 Le Rouge Satin Lipstick in Rouge Croisière.
Selena Gomez
We’re loving the Only Murders in the Building star’s bold lip color, which expertly balanced her striking gown and diamond collar necklace.
Laverne Cox
Cox’s high ombré ponytail was the perfect beauty complement to her showstopping sparkly eye shadow.
Niecy Nash-Betts
The Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story Emmy winner paired a bold eyeliner look with soft, cascading waves for a glamorous red-carpet appearance.
Aubrey Plaza
Celebrity stylist Mark Townsend gave the White Lotus actor a retro-meets-modern hair look using bestsellers from Olaplex. And combined with a wine-colored lipstick shade from L’Oreal Paris? The cherry on top.
Issa Rae
If bows aren’t exactly your thing, allow Issa Rae’s whimsical placement of feathers in a sleek bun to give you the ultimate hair inspo. Her fresh glow is courtesy of Chanel's radiance-boosting moisturizer, which doubles as a hydrating primer.
Ali Wong
Only highlighted by her sculptural glasses, the Beef Emmy winner’s elegant makeup look was created by artist Daniel Martin for Dior Beauty. Her cascading waves were crafted by Clayton Hawkins using ghd.
Elizabeth Debicki
To hone her effortless red carpet glow, Elizabeth Debicki's skin was prepped and polished with Guerlain Paris essentials.
Padma Lakshmi
We’re loving Padma Lakshmi’s effortless waves and bright pink lip, which echoed the vibrancy of her 2023 Emmys gown.
Suki Waterhouse
The Daisy Jones & The Six star is glowing—and not just because she’s the world’s coolest mom-to-be. We love the combination of her effortless waves with metallic eyes and a soft rose lipstick.
Jessica Chastain
The George & Tammy star and True Botanicals ambassador channeled the ’70s with a sleek hairstyle crafted by Renato Campora using Hair Rituel by Sisley Paris. Chastain’s fresh-faced makeup look was created by artist Kristofer Buckle for Charlotte Tilbury.
Tracee Ellis Ross
A sleek and shiny retro-inspired ponytail and a matte red lipstick are always a winning combination.
Jenna Ortega
Want Jenna Ortega’s lipstick? Makeup artist Melanie Inglessis used all Dior Beauty products on the Wednesday star, including Rouge Dior in #976 Daisy Plum.
Kathryn Hahn
Celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles used skincare from Yon-Ka Paris and makeup from Addiction Tokyo to give the Tiny Beautiful Things star’s skin a lit-from-within glow.
Simona Tabasco
The White Lotus actor looked like the first sign of spring in the most beautiful floral gown and matching pink lipstick.
