10. Evan Rachel Wood’s Flower Power

In bloom: The Westworld nominee added a distinctly feminine edge to her tailored suit with a flower crown. “I wanted her to walk down the red carpet looking like a gorgeous Renaissance painting,” her hairstylist, John D says, so he added some fresh flowers to her twisted chignon. After prepping damp hair with TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Mousse applied “to the roots and combed through,” he blow-dried hair using the ghd Ceramic Vented Radial Brush “to build softness and volume.” He waved hair on the ghd Platinum+Styler, before pinning and twisting the chignon into place, leaving a few face-framing tendrils out. The finishing touch: fresh flowers pinned in and a spritz of TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hair Spray Level 3.

9. Tracee Ellis Ross’s Rosy Outlook

In the pink: There’s an unexpected twist to the Black-ish star’s rosy eyeshadow that blew Us away! To create the wash of fresh coral, makeup artist Lisa Storey mixed Charlotte Tilbury’s Eyes To Mesmerize in Bette with… a lipstick! She blended in a touch of Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Lipstick in Tell Laura to boost the pink hue and also create the sheer, creamy texture! Ross’ skin got an assist from the brand’s new Magic Away Liquid Concealer, too. The most eye-catching feature was undoubtedly the lips; the tropical fuchsia shade was a combination of Charlotte Tilbury’s Hot Lips lipstick in Carinas Love and Hollywood Lips liquid lipstick in Screen Siren, “sheered out with fingers to achieve a matte satin finish.”

8. Constance Wu’s Glass Bun

Sleek and chic! For the Crazy Rich Asians’ star’s center-parted, slicked-back bun, stylist Derek Yuen was inspired by “her floor-length, sequined Jason Wu dress and incredible Harry Winston earrings,” to create something simple. “She looked like a goddess!” he exclaimed. He started styling with dry hair, using a rat-tail comb to get “a perfect center part.” He use a paintbrush to apply Leonor Greyl Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice precisely at the top two inches of hair “in order to set the part and help direct the hair back into a low ponytail. To heighten shine on ends, he misted in Leonor Greyl Conditon Naturelle leave-in conditioner for a “really shiny, healthy finish.” Next he set hair using the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Professional Edition on the lowest heat setting, before wrapping and pinning the bun.

7. Rachel Brosnahan’s Cherry Pout

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, indeed. In addition to taking home a statue for Best Actress, Brosnahan won our hearts thanks to her just-retro-enough red lip, which makeup artist Lisa Aharon describes as “classic with edge.” The gorgeous hue was Chantecaille’s Lip Veil in Tiger Lily, a strong coral, “complimented by a true red lip liner,” Chantecaille’s Desire. Adding to cart immediately!

6. Zazie Beetz’s Rich Neutral Makeup

Sweet caramel: The Atlanta star showed Us that neutral hues can be your best bet for a big night out, especially if you pay attention to detail. While makeup pro Pati Dubroff was inspired by the “russet-toned, goddess-like gown” to go for “a monochromatic palette,” she also found inspo in the ’70’s “for the shape of the eyes.” After prepping Beetz’s skin with a touch of base (“her skin is gorgeous, so I used very little foundation,”), she blended Soleil Tan de Chanel around the face and on her decollete and “areas where her body was showing for a uniform glow.” She then used the russet and darker brown shade in Chanel’s Les 4 Ombres in Candeur et Experience eyeshadow palette to create an elongated shape to the eye. She added sweeps of Ombre Premiere Powder Eyeshadow in Pourpre Profond across lids and Cream Eyeshadow in Terra Brulee on the corners and underneath the lower lid. For the sumptuous semi-sheer lips, Dubroff applied Chanel’s Le Rouge Crayon in Natural Brown to the center, then applied Rouge Coco Shine in Noir Moderne to the entire pout “for a slight plum tone.”

5. Madeline Brewer’s Updated 1940’s Glam

Swoon-worthy! The Handmaid’s Tale actress’ makeup pro, Jenna Kristina, chose “something pretty and sweet to counteract her gorgeous black lace dress.” To create the ethereal glow, Kristina prepped skin with Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in 4 on the center of the face and 6 on the outer rim “to add dimension.” She contoured cheeks with Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer in 11 as blush and 8 along cheekbones. For the unique, glowing eyes, Kristina mixed Giorgio Armani Eye Tint in 11 and 12  and applied all over lids, then popped bronzer in the crease and under the eye to “warm the look.” The finishing touch? The perfect pinky beige creamy matte lip, courtesy of Giorgio Armani’s new Rouge d’Armani Matte Lip in 600.

4. Letitia Wright’s Embellished Half-Updo

What a bling fling! We loved many things about the Black Mirror nominee’s look: The gorgeous, glowing skin, that shimmering Pamela Rolland dress (not to mention her grandmother on her arm as date!), but our favorite part was undoubtedly Wright’s braided half-updo, with sparkling embellishments woven right into the top knot.

3. Elisabeth Moss’s Tangerine Dream

Hello, bombshell. For the Handmaid’s Tale star’s look, longtime makeup pro Daniel Martin took inspiration from an unlikely place: the 1970’s film Grease. “We wanted to disrupt her look a bit since last year’s beauty was more polished and pretty. So ‘Bad Sandy’ was my inspiration!” he says, of the hot orange hues he used on lids and lips. First, Martin prepped skin with Honest Beauty’s Everything Primer to mattify the t-zone and forehead and “blur any imperfections.” He heightened glow at the cheekbones with a dab of Honest Beauty’s Magic Balm. For the gorgeous wash of color on eyes, shades from Honest Beauty’s Eyeshadow Palette were blended. The standout pout was created using a Dior Beauty lipstick, the brand’s new Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge in Ultra Star #777.

2. Yara Shahidi’s Golden Glow

Glowing goddess! The Grown-ish star never fails to disappoint Us in the glam department, taking risks with edgy and unexpected looks. But even when she shows up with a subdued glow, as she did at the Emmys, her longtime makeup artist Emily Cheng uses brilliant techniques that wow Us like never before. Case in point: To boost Shahidi’s complexion, Cheng applied foundation (in this case, Bobbi Brown Longwear SPF formula in Golden Honey and Warm Almond) using a Beauty Blender dipped in SK-II’s famed Treatment Essence for an ultra-smooth finish. But that wasn’t the only trick up Cheng’s sleeve. She also used the same product on eyes, lips and cheeks to tie the makeup look together: Bobbi Brown’s Luxe Matte Lipstick in Burnt Cherry.

1. Jessica Biel’s Berry-Stained Lips

#Winning. The Best Actress nominee for The Sinner hit the red carpet with her hot husband, Justin Timberlake, and gorgeous-yet-subtle glowing skin and bitten lips. The actress’ makeup pro, Kara Yoshimoto Bua, was inspired by her “romantic white gown” to go with a “fresh and elevated” Pre-Raphaelite look. The key to a pared-down pretty: subtle pink peach and copper shades from Chanel’s Les 4 Ombres in Mystere et Intensite along upper and lower lids, and a plummy brown mascara, specifically Chanel’s Le Volume de Chanel in Caractere. For the juicy berry lip stain, Bua layered shades and textures. First, Chanel Le Crayon a Levres in Natural around the edge of lips to create shape, then a dab of Chanel’s new Rouge Allure Liquid Powder lipcolor in Avant-Gardiste and finally a pop of Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme in Ideal to the center of the lip “for a light ombre effect.”
