If you’re someone who loves red carpet beauty moments as much as we do—especially when they feature our favorite television stars—2024 is the year of double the pleasure and double the fun. (For context, due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes last September, the 2023 Emmys were delayed and, ultimately, hosted earlier this year in January.)
We’re back to regularly scheduled Emmys programming just eight months later, and we’re hardly complaining. In fact, our anticipation has reached an all-time high as we giddily await the top-notch glam that’s sure to grace the red carpet. From swoon-worthy hairstyles to A+ makeup moments and a whole lot of wow-inducing manicures in between, we’re dropping the must-see red carpet beauty looks from this year’s Emmy Awards below. Keep scrolling—these are too good not to screenshot.
