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.
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.

Top It Off
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.

True Blue
Effortless hair: Check. Nude lips: Check. Most of Kerry Washington's beauty look fell in line with the evening's most dominant trends, but we're glad she strayed from the pack with a gorgeous blue smoky eye. It immediately caught our attention in a sea of no-makeup makeup looks.

Long Story Short
Who says cropped cuts are limiting? Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara and Julie Bowen hit the red carpet with wavy, textured bobs that rivaled all the long, beachy versions that made the rounds.
For Mara's textured A-line bob, stylist Mark Roszak created a loose wave using a 1.5-inch curling iron and finished the look with a dab of L'Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle TXT IT Hyper Fix Putty, $4.99, to piece out the ends and emphasize the choppy look.
We've spent all year DVR-ing, binge-watching and avoiding spoiler alerts like the plague, all in the name of good TV. Tonight, our hard work finally pays off at 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.
We love seeing our favorite television shows head home with a couple of well-earned statuettes in tow, but we love seeing our favorite television characters step out of character and onto the glamorous red carpet even more. Here, the best hair and makeup trends and beauty looks of TV's big night.
