It's official, 2024's star-sudden award season is officially underway. As we know by know, where there is a red carpet, a plethora of glamorous celebrity beauty looks are never far behind and the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards was no exception. From trendy vintage hair bows and sophisticated Bardot up-dos, to playful fuchsia lipsticks and sultry faux lashes, this year's arrivals did away with beauty minimalism with bold looks adorning every glitzy corner. The stand out for this year? Selena Gomez' crisp black cherry lipstick.
If you’re wondering what the exact shade is, look no further than Selena’s own Rare Beauty line. Make-up artist to the stars, Hung Vanngo created a crisp line using the Kind Words Matte Lip Liner in Strong, before filling the shape with a custom blend of the Kind Words Matte Lipstick in Strong and limited edition shade Devoted. Vampy, without veering too gothic, this statement lip has created a convincing case for grunge make-up in 2024. Like we needed another excuse.
Typically, we'd expect a pared back complexion and subtle brush of mascara to compliment a lip this strong, but Gomez’ ensemble took glamour to the max. Rose-toned smokey eyeshadow and a feathered set of Lashify? We’re here for the drama. Over on nails, artist Tom Bachik created a custom 'black cherry' blend, which complimented both Selena’s lip and her sheer Oscar de la Renta gown. Glacé cherry girl, anyone?
Beyond make-up, Selena opted for a sleek and romantic up-do, complete with an oh-so-trendy side parting. Yes, if you didn't know already, the statement combovers are here to stay. Aside from vintage ponytails and glamorous bouffants, slick side partings reigned supreme this year, with Jessica Chastain, Sarah Snook, Claire Danes and Camila Morrone all debuting sleek or voluminous renditions.
