I love awards shows, but the Emmys holds a special place in my heart because my very first national TV segment was two years ago on the E! red carpet live from the Emmys breaking down how the A-listers prepped for the red carpet. Now, I’m bringing you the BeautySweetSpot Emmy Beauty Awards – the top 5 looks and how to get ‘em

One starlette stood out amongst the rest on Sunday night at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards, Glee’s Lea Michele. Classic perfection. Her navy, silk Oscar de la Renta gown complimented her figure, yet the ruffles at the bottom made it a red carpet stunner. With such an elegant look complimented by over 400 carats of Lorraine Schwarts mesh jewels, I was glad to see the birthday girl left her hair down. Everything worked.
“Lea wanted her hair to look touchable and super modern, and full hair with lots of volume and a bit of roughness was perfect against her flawless gown” said her stylist Mark Townsend.
Love the look? Follow the step-by-step straight from Townsend himself. Since Lea is in the middle of shooting Glee, she wasn’t able to experiment with color, but Townsend added custom pieces into her hair for dimension.
Starting with clean, damp hair, he used Dove Body & Lift Volumizing Mousse and blow dried with a round brush for added lift. Then, he used a 2″ curling iron to give slight bend (not actually curl the hair) from the ends to the roots and clipped each section with a barrel clip for five minutes to allow them to cool.
This time last year I was in LA getting ready to do a beauty segment for E! on secrets of the stars beauty habits on the red carpet during the Emmys. The experience was incredible! I was with E!‘s own Ashlan Gorse and chatted it up for the rest of the day with people like Padma Lakshmi, Blake Lively, Drew Barrymore and the cast of Mad Men.
This year, I cannot wait to watch the Emmys and have some beauty predictions of what type of makeup looks the nominees will be sporting from Physician’s Formula Celebrity Makeup Artist, Joanna Schlip.
“At this year’s Emmy’s we’ll be seeing two very distinct looks,” remarked Joanna. ”I’m betting on retro glam and and feminine using monochromic, knock-out neutrals.”
Last year, Leighton Meester sported the rocked glam look in a chic white dress perfectly. It’s all about flawless skin, defined brows and a sharp red lip. Joanna also thinks the cat eye will be a huge focal point, but this time, more exaggerated.
Will you be tuning into the Emmys this year? Who are you excited to see on the red carpet?
