Summer is still going strong and the bevy of beachy blonde waves on the red carpet was proof. Anna Gunn, Amy Poehler and Heidi Klum embraced the sunny weather by choosing casual, textured waves to pair with their evening gowns.

Nearly every attendee was wearing a nude lip, but we especially loved the mauve-tinted versions that were paired with heavily lined lids. Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett and Michelle Dockery all looked in amazing in the lip and eye combo with drastically different hairstyles and outfits, proving this makeup look is for keeps.

Makeup artist Melanie Inglessis skipped the shadow and enlisted the help of two eyeliners, a black kohl and dark grey, to define Paulson's eyes. To create a natural lip, Inglessis applied Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Niagara Overlook, $9, (and threw it in Paulson's bag as she headed out the door).

To create Dockery's subtle cat eye, Jordan Long lined eyes with Giorgio Armani Eye & Brow Maestro #1 using a small pointed liner brush. For Dockery's gorgeous glossy lip, Long lined and filled in the lip with Giorgio Armani Smooth Silk Lip Pencil in #1, $30, and topped it off with Giorgio Armani Flash Lacquer in #106, $30.

The dramatic side parts we saw during Fashion Week have officially made their way to the red carpet. Lizzy Caplan, Kiernan Shipka and Jessica Paré all highlighted their makeup looks with slicked-to-the-side updos.

To banish flyaways, stylist Marcus Francis applied Suave Professionals Natural Infusion All Day Body Leave-In Foam with Seaweed, $5.79, to Caplan's damp hair, then blow dried with a round brush to lock in the smoothness. Hairstylist Bridget Brager relied on a small dab of Garnier De-Constructed Pixie Play, $3.99, to smooth Shipka's bangs and set them in place for the entire night.

Even though we're in the midst of a ponytail renaissance, we were still surprised to see half-up, half-down hairstyles on tonight's red carpet. Leave it to Mindy Kaling and Padma Lakshmi to put a stylish spin on the throwback style.

Yes, the top knot is here to stay. Sarah Hyland complemented her gown's delicate neckline with a super-sized ballerina bun while actress Teyonah Parris went for a more sleek and structured top knot that made an equally bold statement.

To create a soft updo like Sarah Hyland's, pay attention to direction when prepping your hair. Hairstylist Ryan Richman applied a pump of Dove Frizz-Free Shine Serum, $4.89, to smooth frizz, and began to blow dry large sections of hair up toward the center point of where bun would eventually sit. Next, he sprayed a boar bristle brush with Dove Style+Care Extra Hold Hairspray, $3.94, and brushed hair upward before securing it in a ponytail with an elastic. Back comb your ponytail to get Hyland's texture before wrapping it into a messy bun.
