Awards season is here! And along with plenty of red carpet­ gowns to obsess over, there's a bevy of beauty inspiration to discuss, too – and boy, was this a good one. Whether it was Poppy Delevingne making a major statement with her bow-embellished ponytail, or Yara Shahidi's beautiful ballerina-style textured bun, we reckon this year's Emmy's glam squads deserve their own awards – take a bow, hairstylists!

Thandie Newton and Vanessa Kirby

The reigning style of Emmy night was actually a sleek, low-slung bun - reminiscent of a certain new Duchess – worn beautifully on the likes of Emilia Clarke. Thandie Newton nailed her super-sleek version styled by Oribe's Sheridan Ward, especially with her stunning bubblegum gown and matching makeup. On the opposite end of the spectrum, The Crown's Vanessa Kirby went for full glamour with a Hollywood blowdry, which added just enough something-something to her nude Tom Ford gown.
