If it feels like you just watched the Emmy Awards—well, it’s because the last awards show just took place in January, due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Now, we're back on schedule with the Sept. 15 ceremony held at the Peacock Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. But unlike the previous red carpet, which was defined by pretty pink lipstick and sleek hairstyles, the best 76th Emmy Awards looks are proving to be a lesson in fall 2024 beauty trends.
Vampy lipstick, red nail polish, and ‘90s blowouts were reinvented by the industry's most talented makeup artists, hairstylists, and nail pros. Brown lipstick typically associated with autumn picked up maroon undertones—looked to Laverne Cox for proof. Short and square natural nails replaced long acrylics, as demonstrated on Ella Purnell. And fresh, rich girl blonde seemed to dominate the hair color cycle.
