Emmy Awards 2025: The Standout Beauty Trends Featuring Jenna Ortega & Cate Blanchett

The Emmys are always a feast for fashion and beauty lovers, but this year’s red carpet felt extra special. Every celeb showed up glowing, glossy, or glam, and honestly, it was almost impossible to choose favourites. Still, after scrolling endlessly and zooming in on every lipstick and lash, here are the five beauty looks that made us stop, sigh, and screenshot.

Lisa from Blackpink (and now The White Lotus) nailed the “pretty in pink” brief. Her soft waves framed her face beautifully, and that glossy pink lip was adorable. It wasn’t over the top, just the kind of easy, girly glam that feels fresh and modern. Proof that sometimes all you really need is a good blowout and a shiny lip to win the night.

Jenna has basically made gothic glam her trademark, and she doubled down on it at the Emmys. A deep wine lipstick, smoky eyes, and yes, those bleached brows. Risky? Totally. But that’s what makes it so fun. Pair it with her sleek updo and the look became less spooky and more high-fashion editorial. My two cents? Only Jenna could pull this off without it looking like Halloween glam.

Selena kept it classic with slicked-back hair, glowing skin, and a peachy nude lipstick. It’s simple, but the magic was in how polished and put-together it looked. The neutral tones let her stunning red gown shine, which is a smart beauty move when you are wearing such a statement colour. This is the kind of look you could copy for a wedding or fancy night out and know it will always work.

Leighton’s return to the red carpet was worth the wait. Her new bangs gave her a fun and youthful vibe, while her glossy brunette hair had serious “shampoo commercial” shine. Makeup-wise, she went for a retro ‘60s eye with bold liner and fluttery lashes. It felt playful, stylish, and a little nostalgic, which is exactly what made it stand out. Honestly, she made me want to dig out my liquid liner again.

Cate doesn’t do loud glam. She does effortless elegance. This time it was loose waves, a soft smoky eye, and peachy tones on her cheeks and lips. It all came together in that subtle but powerful way only Cate can pull off. She looked every inch the red carpet royalty, proving once again that less can be so much more.

From Lisa’s sweet gloss to Jenna’s dark drama, the Emmys gave us a beauty mood board for every taste. My takeaway? You don’t always need to reinvent the wheel. A glossy lip, a bold liner, or peachy cheeks can still feel fresh if you wear it with confidence, and that’s what all five of these women did so perfectly.
