Emmy Rossum is no rookie when it comes to spectacular red carpet style. Whether it was the classic ponytail at the 2012 Oscars or her wildly intricate, braided updo at this year's Met Gala, Emmy wows us across the style spectrum. This gorgeous look from the Critics' Choice Television Awards proves just how easily the actress/singer-songwriter can stoke our beauty envy. We love the long, loose waves coupled with a dramatic side part -- so stylish and sophisticated. Best of all, it's a cinch to do.

1. Apply a leave-in smoothing cream, like Kerastase Lait Nutri-Sculpt Leave-In Smoothing Hair Foundation, $28.99, to damp hair and use a round brush to blow dry it evenly.
2. Create a deep side part. Then, curl 1- to 2-inch sections of your hair using a large barrel curling iron. Clamp each section at the root, then curl under until you reach the ends. Pull the barrel out as the section is curled under, keeping it tight, but letting your hair fall naturally. Repeat with the rest of your hair.
3. Allow your curls to set for about five minutes, then gently brush through with a bristled brush.
4. Apply a glossing serum (we love Frederic Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Cream, $25) to your hair, but avoid the roots. Use a soft brush to smooth it throughout your hair, as needed.
5. Finish with a spritz of hairspray, such as Marc Anthony Pro Finish Ultimate Hold Hairspray, $7.99.
