Top Hair Looks from the 2024 Emmys

Published 19th Sep 2024 by Josie Jackson

The Emmy Awards, or Emmys, recognises some brightest stars from television – so it's no surprise that its red carpet draws in a dazzling array of celebrities to celebrate. From Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan to The Bear's Ayo Edebiri, here are just a few of the actresses who's tresses impressed for 2024.

Nicola Coughlan

I think this is a beautifully executed red carpet look. I love Nicola’s bright blonde hair styled into this sleek, smooth half-up half-down look. The centre part and jewelled clips create an elegant yet modern style. The polished finish complements the glamorous sequined gown and showcases Nicola’s features and jewellery. It’s a timeless, camera-ready style that balances sophistication with her natural beauty.

Kristen Wiig

This was my favourite look of the night from the Emmys. This is a chic and modern take on a classic bob. The hair is styled in a textured, slightly tousled lob. There’s a subtle balayage effect, transitioning from darker roots to lighter, sun-kissed ends, which adds depth and dimension. The side-swept part and effortless waves create a soft, feminine look that frames her face beautifully. This versatile cut is perfect for a red carpet event as it showcases Kristen’s ensemble.

Ayo Edebiri

I thought this look was a stunning showcase of natural texture and volume. Ayo is practically glowing. Her long, luscious curls beautifully cascade down past her shoulders. Lots of celebs sported a centre part on the Emmys’ carpet and I honestly think you can’t go wrong with it. Her stylist has done an excellent job of defining and enhancing the natural curl pattern, resulting in glossy, bouncy curls with minimal frizz. This look is glamorous yet effortless – totally fantastic.

Rita Ora

Rita Ora’s Emmy look encapsulates old Hollywood glamour, echoing the essence of 1930s actresses. Her updo featured a classic French twist (a style which has blown up on social media this past month) and a gorgeous volumised fringe that was set into elegant waves. To add depth and dimension to this look, a golden balayage was used to beautifully complement Rita’s natural hair colour. Her lightened eyebrows harmonise this look which commands attention on the red carpet – showstopping.

Naomi Watts

We’ve being seeing the French Bob popping up all over social media and on the Emmys’ red carpet, Naomi Watts elegantly executed it. This sophisticated cut beautifully complements Naomi’s oval face shape, accentuating her features. The side parting highlights the width of her cheekbones and the flipped in ends add fullness to areas where her face is naturally slenderer, especially at the jawline. This also adds movement, whilst hugging her face shape beautifully. This look captures the essence of true glamour.

Mindy Kaling

As we move into the autumnal months, we’ll be seeing a lot more of the ‘chocolate box’ hair trend. These hues are at the top of our trend forecast for A/W24 – think expensive-looking, rich, deep chocolatey tones. These shades are completely customisable to the individual – being easily being lightened to create a creamy chocolate hue or darkened to create a deep glossy tone. On the Emmys’ Red Carpet, Mindy Kaling showcased a beautiful dark chocolate glossy colour which turned heads for its soft, expensive feel. Mindy’s hair was styled in glamourous long waves which fell elegantly in a chic middle parting and tucked behind her ears.
