Real talk: Yara Shahidi [1] brought it to the Emmy Awards red carpet. But more real talk: Yara always brings it. Whether she's rocking a voluminous topknot [2] at the Teen Choice Awards or bringing back finger weaves [3] at the VMAs, Yara knows how to work a red carpet; the 2017 Emmy Awards were no exception.

The Black-ish [4] actress (and Harvard freshman!) looked like a sparkling fairy princess on Sept. 17, with makeup courtesy of her frequent collaborator Emily Cheng [5].

Her thin cat-eye liner drew attention to her gorgeously full, arched brows. Yara kept her neutral lip simple, but that's OK, because her cheekbones were illuminated by a fresh, twinkling highlight that was impossible to look away from.

Yara's glistening wet hair, which could have come straight from an actual mermaid, was done by Nai'vasha Johnson [6].

We're absolutely drooling over Yara's look. But the best part is that, as we head into another awards season, we can expect more showstopping looks from this beauty wiz.
