Look of the Day: Constance Wu's Braided Crown
"Fresh Off the Boat" star Constance Wu stunned on the red carpet at the Critics' Choice Awards with a chic braided crown. She teamed up with celebrity hairstylist Marissa Marino from Nine Zero One salon, who roughed up Wu's texture with Unite Texturiza Spray. To create the inside-out French braid, Marino started braiding behind Wu's left ear and continued to wrap the braid all the way around her head, pulling out a few face-framing pieces in the front.

"It is important that it was an inside out braid instead of a regular braid because her hair is so dark, and this style shows the braid better," Marino said. "I wanted the front to stay clean with just one visible braid, so I took the remainder and wrapped it underneath and secured the braid bun with bobby pins."

Simply gorgeous.

Look of the Day: Lea Michele's Berry Lip
Though she didn't win Favorite Actress in a New TV Series, Lea Michele won our award for best natural makeup look. Michele paired up with celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis to debut a pretty berry lip with her gorgeous Ellie Saab dress, and proved that less is more when it comes to looking red carpet ready.

Focusing on Michele's pretty pout, Inglessis first applied the Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm to moisturize Michele's lips, before lining them in Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Napa Vineyard. To create her deep, yet bright berry pout, Inglessis used Burt's Bees Lipstick in Juniper Water.

The beautiful part (besides the look)? It literally costs you $18 to recreate the pretty pout. Now that's #winning.

Look of the Day: Daisy Ridley's Hollywood Glam Hair
While women all across the nation celebrated the premiere of "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" by rocking Princess Leia buns, the movie's star, Daisy Ridley, wore a much more glamorous look created by celebrity stylist Robert Vetica for Leonor Greyl.

The hair was very much inspired by the Charlie Girl, Vetica said. "In the 1970s and 1980s, the Charlie Girl embodied youthful, free-spirited and vibrant women on the go having fun with life, and that's exactly what we wanted this day to be for Daisy."

To create the look, Vetica applied Leonor Greyl Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice, $46, from roots to tips to give hair more volume and body. After blow-drying the hair, he made a deep side part and used a three-quarter inch curling iron to create bouncy, loose curls. (Pro tip: Start with the hair around the face and forehead, and roll curls towards your face. For the rest of your hair, roll curls backwards.) Vetica then broke up the curls by gently teasing them with a wide-tooth comb, and then twisted and pinned hair into a faux bob.

Princess Leia doesn't have a thing on Rey.

Look of the Day: Kat Graham's Subtle Smoky Eye
"The Vampire Diaries" star Kat Graham always looks bewitching, but we're especially entranced by the makeup look she wore to the recent Wet n' Wild event "T Boz Unplugged" (in support of the Sickle Cell Foundation Support Group).

To recreate the look at home, start by evening out your skin with foundation. Then, use the Wet n Wild Photo Focus Studio Eye Shadow Palette in Coming In Latte to create the perfect brown smoky eye. Cover your lids and line your lower lash lines with the lightest shade of brown. Then, apply a darker shade on the outer corners of the eyes -- blending like a madman, of course. To finish the look, swipe on Wet n Wild Max Fanatic Cat Eye Mascara -- it really plumps up lashes.

One word: gorgeous. (The only catch? These products don't hit drugstores until January.)

Look of the Day: Kendall Jenner's Top Knot at the American Music Awards
There were quite a few top knots at last night's American Music Awards, but leave it to bombshell Kendall Jenner to make the style look both chic and edgy. Jenner worked with celebrity hairstylist Etienne Ortega to create this badass look -- complete with piecey bangs that have us reaching for our scissors.

"My inspiration for Kendall's look was a funky modern top knot with a wispy bang that goes perfect with her high-neck dress," Ortega said. To create the look, Ortega used KMS California ADD VOLUME Styling Foam, 17.50, on Jenner's damp hair before blow drying it sleek and straight. To give the look a bit more personality, Ortega used a quarter size amount of KMS California HAIR PLAY Messing Créme, $20, to build up texture before twisting it into a fun top knot. To show off Jenner's new fringe, Ortega used KMS California HAIR PLAY Playable Texture, $20, to make her bangs extra wispy and dramatic.

Holiday hairstyle: done.
