The 2024 Emmys' Best Hair & Makeup Looks
The stars went bold.
And just like that, Hollywood’s star-studded awards season is officially here. The 2024 Golden Globes, Governors Awards, and Critics’ Choice Movie Awards are already a memory — and now, it’s officially time for the 75th Emmy Awards to take its turn in the spotlight, with the ceremony taking place on Jan. 15 in Los Angeles, California.
The Emmys are an opportunity to celebrate artistic achievement in American television, and this year’s long list of nominated programs includes cult-loved shows like Succession, House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, The Bear, Beef, Wednesday, and many more.
As always, the evening affair is also an opportunity for A-listers to get glam and have their main character moment on the glitzy red carpet. This year, everyone’s television faves went for bold makeup and elegant hair moments that felt simultaneously classic and daring.
As far as the eye makeup went, stars like Jenna Ortega and Laverne Cox adorned their lids with glittery pigment that dazzled on the silver carpet. Selena Gomez wore one of her darkest lip colors to date, opting for a sultry burgundy color that enhanced her darker features, while Issa Rae elevated her low-key slicked-back ’do with chic feathers.
Below, take a look at the best hair and makeup moments from the 2024 Emmy Awards.
