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.

To create Wiig's lived-in look, hairstylist Jenny Cho flipped hair upside down and misted roots with Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Weightless Dry Shampoo, $2.88. Cho locked in the style with Suave Professionals Touchable Finish Extra Hold Hairspray, $2.88.

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.

Band Aid
Next time you wear an updo, skip the statement necklace and try a headband. Julianna Margulies chose a simple, black band to accent her slicked back do, while Hayden Panettiere topped off her undone bun with a sparkly Cinderella headband.

All That
Talk about well-rounded. From her shimmery bronze smoky eye and radiant glow, to her perfectly undone do, Taylor Schilling's beauty look hit all the right notes.

To create the "ethereal and angelic" look, makeup artist Tina Turnbow applied Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 in Nude, $43, illuminated cheeks with Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Stick Face Colour in Pink Glow, $32 and set the look in place with Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder, $24. To highlight Schilling's copper smoky eye, Turnbow applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Moonlight, $28, in the inner corners and on the center of the lid, for extra sparkle. Using her finger tips, Turnbow applied Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour in Sin, $25 onto the lips to get that "bitten" look.

Pretty in Punk
Since tonight's actresses didn't have to share the spotlight with their silver screen counterparts a la the Golden Globes, Kaley Cuoco became the reigning pixie queen of the red carpet. Her shimmery eyeshadow, rosy cheeks and pink lips balanced out the edginess of her choppy cut.

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.
