The Best 2025 Emmy Awards Live Red Carpet Beauty Updates

Collage of 4 women in gowns.

Television's biggest night is finally here with the arrival of the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. The stars are taking to the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 14 to honor the best shows, limited series, and documentaries , and I'll be here to showcase the evening's most jaw-dropping beauty looks. With nominees from The Pitt, Matlock, Severance, and Only Murders in the Building all primed to dazzle with glamorous hair, makeup, and nails (those glam teams are working overtime), this will definitely be a must-see red carpet.

Industry heavyweights like Only Murders in the Building's Selena Gomez and two-time Emmy Award winner Ayo Edibiri are nominated this evening, and the A-list presenters include a Gilmore Girls reunion of Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham, along with Sydney Sweeney, Jennifer Coolidge, and Mariska Hargitay—all of which are known to turn it out when it comes to the award shows.

The red carpet kicks off now and I'll be reporting live on the best Emmy's red carpet beauty moments all evening, which I predict will include plenty of voluptuous curls, come-hither nails, and mesmerizing makeup. If you're a TV lover, stay tuned for the best of the best in red carpet glam.

I love to see a writer walking the red carpet (we can glam it up too!) and the Last Week Tonight alum looks so classically chic with her glossy brunette blowout.

I LOVE GRAY HAIR ON THE RED CARPET. Ugh, this is so chic. Plus I loved Dying for Sex so much, and the EP now has me dying over her stunning silver hair.

GASP, I love love love this classic cat eye on The Bear's Molly Gordon. Plus the subtle curl with her voluminous blowout is understated chic in the best way.

I'm still unwell that Tracy Ifeachor will not be returning as the calming Dr. Heather Collins in season 2 of The Pitt but for now I'll just bask in her beyond radiant, flawless complexion. Like, I need the foundation details ASAP.

Wait, how did I not notice that The Pitt star Taylor Dearden has amazing eyebrows?? In an era of copy-paste brows on much of the red carpet circuit, these look so natural and just ever-so-slightly unkempt. I'm truly obsessed.

It would be hard to look away from Isa Briones's chartreuse gown but her slick back bun and flawless smokey eye manage it. The makeup is serving left, right, and center!

Megan Stalter at the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. (Image credit: Getty Images)

Nobody seems to be having more fun than Megan Stalter on red carpets this season. The Too Much star paired her subversive outfit choice with a very on-trend red manicure and matching red lipstick.

Okay, that stunning soft mauve lipstick is almost enough to distract me from the fact that The White Lotus actress chopped her hair into a bob! She's making her cast mate, and cunty little bob icon Leslie Bibb proud with this choice. She also joins another TWL alum, Alexandra Daddario, in the short hair club after checking out of her season of the show.

Loving this rosy pink lip on The White Lotus's Charlotte Le Bon. Paired with her flawless fair complexion and vaguely Y2K-inspired updo, she's looking every bit like a soon-to-be red carpet veteran.

The Matlock actress looks so fabulous with these silky finger waves. It looks like she's also rocking the idea baby pink French manicure to accent her classic glam.

Our queen, Kathy Bates, is showing just how painfully chic a silver updo looks on the red carpet. And with that red lip and demi-matte complexion? She's looking like an Emmy Award winner to me.

Gwendoline Christie at the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. (Image credit: Getty Images)

You guys! Gwendoline Christie looks unbelievable tonight! The Wednesday star was born to be a platinum blonde, especially with this all-white suit. And the pop of red lip is just divine.

Hannah Einbinder knows what works for her hair—a chic flippy bob—and I think it's safe to say that the looks is now signature to her. Plus, the soft rosy pink makeup is ridiculously pretty.

Aimee Lou Wood is the cutest woman alive and this shoulder-length cut is so pretty on her. The face-framing layers are also giving me all my fall haircut inspiration.

I don't think I've ever seen Kaitlyn Dever where her hair in an updo before! She looks so chic, and the monochromatic terracotta makeup is everything I want to wear this season. Not to mention, her cheekbones could legitimately cut glass.

Jenna Ortega at the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. (Image credit: Getty Images)

May Jenna Ortega carry her Wednesday-inspired glam choices with her forever. I think she was born to wear bleached brows and a dark moody lipstick. All in favor of reaching for a burgundy lip color for fall? I know I'll be replicating her glam ASAP—although maybe not the brows...

Jenny Slate at the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. (Image credit: Getty Images)

The French bob has never looked better than when Jenny Slate wears it for her Dying for Sex red carpet run. And, look! Another dark lipstick for the Emmys. I'm sensing a theme here...

Chloë Sevigny at the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. (Image credit: Getty Images)

Only Chloë Sevigny could make this Heidi-style braided updo look this stylish. That's the perfect shade of cherry red for her lipstick, too.

Fall's bronde hair color trend continues and clearly Sydney Sweeney is a fan. This sleek blowout is perfect on her.

Julianne Nicholson at the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. (Image credit: Getty Images)

Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson at the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. (Image credit: Getty Images)

ScarJo is rocking the most stunning golden glow. I can see from her tan lines that it's probably the real deal but I can only hope that some fake tanner was involved.

Kristen Bell looks incredible tonight!! That dress is drop dead gorgeous and her sassy high ponytail is the perfect hairstyle for this look. It's giving Emmy winner, no?
