September, it seems, kicks off a lot of events, from the swarm of New York Fashion Week chaos to the official start of awards season. Tonight is the grand opening of Hollywood’s busiest season: the 78th Annual Primetime Emmys, honoring Hollywood’s brightest talent in television. However, we at ELLE.com, cozy in our pajamas at home, are judging a different category: the night’s best beauty looks. We’ve crowned pixies, bobs, and bixies (a hybrid of the two)—the reigning hairstyles du jour—will Zendaya’s fresh chop make its Emmy’s debut? (Will she?)
With fall transformation appointments impending, tonight’s carpet is a feast for those itching to emerge from the summer anew. Updos remain a red carpet classic; side and middle parts continue to battle for the hairline spotlight; and bangs surely aren’t disappearing anytime soon. Springtime lips return in shades of mauve, nude, and pops of coral red.
