With the Emmy Awards a few short weeks away, the excitement of seeing our favorite celebrities' beauty looks is making us nostalgic for the hair and makeup looks of years past. Some of our favorite stars have walked the red carpet dressed to the nines in honor of our favorite TV shows.
In the last 20 years alone, we've found endless inspiration for our next haircut or new tube of lipstick from everyone from Jennifer Aniston to Kerry Washington. So, after careful consideration, we've looked back at the most impressive beauty styles to ever grace the Emmys. And the award goes to . . .
