All The Must-See Beauty Looks From The 2025 Emmy Awards

The runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris aren’t the only sources of fashion inspiration this month. Your favorite celebrities are also bringing their sartorial A-games to the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. As the official kick-off to awards season, the night always sets a glamorous tone for all of the high-profile red carpet events to follow, and this year is no exception.

Early arrivals like Molly Gordon and Chase Sui Wonders brought some of this year’s TikTok-viral beauty looks to the Emmys. If you’ve spent enough time on your FYP, you’ve probably come across the debate as to whether or not winged liner is “cheugy.” Both of their takes on the makeup style confirm it’s most definitely not. Meanwhile, other celebrities turned to the past for inspiration. The White Lotus Star Parker Posey channeled the ‘60s with her fresh bob haircut, while Meghann Fahy’s voluminous, bouncy blowout was inspired by ‘90s supermodels.

Jenna Ortega

Ortega brought her signature goth glam aesthetic to the 2025 Emmy Awards. Makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis sculpted her skin to perfection with Lumeo SkinLift and prepped it with ERLY Skincare and NatureWell body care before giving her a steel blue smoky eye and vampy oxblood lip. Meanwhile, hairstylist César Ramirez used OGX products and L’Oréal Professionnel’s AirLight Pro to style her long raven strands into a wavy loose braid.

Ruth Negga

Skin prep is always important during a red carpet glam session, but especially when the look is minimal save for a cool rosy mauve lip. Makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis got Negga’s complexion into shape with Sothy’s Paris de-puffing Express Eye Patches and Beau Domaine’s nourishing The Fluid Cream. As for that lip, she swiped on Le Rouge Français’ Le Nude Wantura Lipstick.

Her makeup artist Melissa Hernandez accented her red silk dress with a fresh-faced rosy look consisting of Armani Beauty cosmetics, topped off with fluttery lashes achieved with Lashify.

Molly Gordon

Sorry, Gen-Z: The Bear star’s winged liner is anything but cheugy. The actor’s hairstylist Derek Yeun used Olivia Garden tools to create a bombshell blowout that complemented the TikTok-divisive makeup look.
