2009 Primetime Emmy Awards: Christina Applegate
At last year's awards, Christina Applegate went for bold, red lips and va-voom hair, but this year, it's all about the soft touches. Instead of a tight, pulled-back bun, Christina's hair is styled in a loose, low-slung chignon, and her makeup, while heavy-handed for the camera's flashes, is peaches-and-cream all the way. She's up for an Emmy tonight for her work on the now defunct Samantha Who?, but when it comes to her beauty choices this evening, are you thinking, "Who's that girl?"

For those of us with seriously straight hair, trying to get loose, soft curls like the ones Kat Dennings had on the red carpet for the movie Shorts can be maddening — your hair is too curly right out of the curling iron, so then you have to brush it out a little or put in some hair creme, then your curls won't stay in without a ton of hairspray, but that just makes them crunchy and heavy, so after a couple of hours they fall out anyway.

Nikki Reed however, opted for a more romantic look with a low, loose bun and soft, waved tendrils framing her face.

How-To: Fake Sanaa Lathan's Braid-Wrapped Bun

Since she's already a favorite regardless of her beauty look, I was happy to see Sanaa's glamorous updo on the red carpet.
