2025 Emmy Awards: The Most Stunning Beauty Looks, Ranked by Cosmo Editors

Every year, you’d think that celebs would be tired by the time the Emmys roll around. We’ve had a nine-month run of awards shows and film festival appearances, not to mention whatever press cycles they’re on. I, for one, would be exhausted. But I’m astounded year after year at how the biggest names on TV consistently understand the assignment. And at the 2025 Emmy Awards, the beauty looks really stole the show for me (perhaps I’m a little biased though).

As it’s my job to scour the faces, hair, and nails of celebrities, I can see quite a few big trends. We saw lots of slicked-back hair looks and chic Hollywood waves—a nod to elegance and glamour at the awards. But bouncy blowouts really played a huge role (pun unintended but appreciated), with lots of A-listers donning sky-high volume. Makeup went similarly full glam, with a mix of sultry, smokey eyes and soft, natural lids. But one thing’s for sure: Satin skin is on the rise, even at the Emmys.
