With the Emmy Awards a few short weeks away, the excitement of seeing our favourite celebrities' beauty looks is making us nostalgic for the hair and makeup looks of years past. Some of our favourite stars have walked the red carpet dressed to the nines in honour of our favourite 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 [1] to Kerry Washington [2]. So, after careful consideration, we've looked back at the most impressive beauty styles to ever grace the Emmys. And the award goes to . . .

Lisa Kudrow in 1998

We hope Kudrow's slicked-back bob makes a comeback ASAP.

Sarah Jessica Parker 2000

Parker's sleek half-up style looked both fun and chic.

Kristin Davis in 2003

Davis was ahead of the coral blush trend 15 years ago.

Jennifer Aniston in 2004

Women have always been trying to emulate Aniston's beachy waves and honey blond hair, especially after she stepped out in 2004.

Sandra Oh in 2005

Oh's loose curls and wash of blue shadow were a simple yet fun choice for the red carpet.

Halle Berry in 2005

As always, Berry looked like a dime with her sleek ponytail and bronze makeup at the Emmy Awards in 2005.

Marcia Cross in 2005

We're still desperately in love with Cross's monochromatic peach makeup from 2005.

Tyra Banks in 2006

Banks is "smizing" thanks to these out-to-here lashes.

Eva Longoria in 2007

Longoria's curled bob was just as playful as her bedazzled gown.

Alyson Hannigan in 2009

Hannigan would make Ariel herself jealous with these auburn waves.

Leighton Meester in 2009

In 2009, Meester took a page out of Blair Waldorf's book with a romantic braided up-do.

Blake Lively in 2009

Lively's dramatically long braid made our collective jaws drop back in 2009.

Sofia Vergara in 2012

A bronzed Vergara mastered the cat eye in 2012.

Lucy Liu in 2012

Liu's side ponytail was just as sleek and shiny as her silver dress.

Mindy Kaling in 2012

Kaling took a break from making us laugh until we cry to strut down the red carpet with a berry lip and smoky eye in 2012.

Tina Fey in 2013

Even Regina George would have to admit that Fey's 2013 Emmy Awards look was fresh-faced and stunning.

Kerry Washington in 2014

Washington proved blue eye shadow and orange can be complementary colours.

Sarah Hyland in 2015

Anyone else immediately print out this picture of Hyland's chin-length bob and bring it to their hairstylist?

Emma Roberts in 2015

Roberts brought the Hollywood glamour with her long, platinum waves.

Laverne Cox in 2016

Cox looked stunning in head-to-toe gold in 2016.

America Ferrera in 2016

Ferrera smouldered in matchy-matchy navy eyeliner.

Constance Wu in 2016

Wu's retro high ponytail ensured her silver hoops got all the attention.

Priyanka Chopra in 2016

Chopra solidified her place as a beauty icon with this bold red lip and sleek low ponytail.

Padma Lakshmi in 2016

Just try not to stare at Lakshmi's pink-purple lipstick here.

Felicity Huffman in 2017

We're not sure if our hair has ever looked as voluminous and gorgeous as Felicity Huffman [3]'s in 2017.

Evan Rachel Wood in 2017

The muted hues of Wood's makeup in 2017 made her blue eyes pop.

Zoë Kravitz in 2017

Kravitz made a strong case for pixie cuts back in 2017.

Gina Rodriguez in 2017

As soon as we spotted Rodriguez's deep red cat eye in 2017, we fell head over heels.

Yara Shahidi in 2017

We've never seen a winged liner as fierce as Shahidi's in 2017.

Jane Fonda in 2017

Fonda proved she knows how to make an entrance when she showed up to the red carpet with an ultralong ponytail and bangs last year.
