Side Partings Won at the 2024 Emmys

16/01/2024 - 11:40 PM

In the never-ending battle between side and middle partings [1], the former has emerged as a clear winner — at least at the 2024 Emmys. Need proof? Just look at the amazing hairstyles that graced the red carpet on Sunday, 15 Jan. The award show brought out some of Hollywood's biggest stars and though the fashion was plentiful, the beauty moments took the win.

Side partings [2], in particular, were front and centre, spotted on everyone from Ayo Edebiri to Jessica Chastain and Ali Wong. Whether in an updo, like Selena Gomez [3]'s chic bun [4], or accompanying old Hollywood waves, the look was stamped a versatile classic by Hollywood's elite.

Over the last few years, the side-versus-middle parting debate has turned into somewhat of a dispute between Gen Z and millennials. In 2021, the younger generation on TikTok claimed that the side parting was out, which proved to be very controversial among millennials. While we're not necessarily taking sides — and seriously, you should wear your hair however you like — we would be remiss not to mention how good every single side-parting hairstyle looked at the Emmys. Whether you're looking for some timely hair inspiration [5] or just want documentation for the next time this debate arises amongst your friend group, we went ahead and rounded up some of the best side-part hairstyles that grace the Emmys 2024.
