Every year, the Emmy Awards recognize excellence in television, highlighting actors, writers, directors, and other creatives who worked tirelessly on our favorite shows. At the 75th Annual Emmy Awards this year, top contenders include comedies like Abbott Elementary and Jury Duty, along with dramas like Succession (which cleaned up at the recent Golden Globe Awards) and Better Call Saul. And while we all have our eyes and ears peeled for our favorite shows, praying that they'll take home the night's most coveted awards, we also have our eyes on the stunning looks that television's top stars will be sporting on the red carpet.

Ahead, the best in beauty, from hair to makeup and beyond, at television's biggest night out.
