Celeb stylist Laini Reeves created Blunt's sophisticated vintage-inspired updo and said she was inspired by the "waved looks of the '20s." To copy the look, create a low, side part and quickly pin curl your hair "in the classic way -- pinning three alternate rows of them (anti-clockwise/clockwise/anti-clockwise)," says Reeves. Then mist damp, pinned-up hair with a shine spray like Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray, $25.
Blow dry your pin curls to speed up drying time, and release pins once fully dry. Fingercomb your curls, then create two large pin curls over the nape of your neck, leaving one cascading curl hanging near your face.
To accent the look, attach a glittery "accessory in the hair above the right ear," says Reeves. Finish by misting with strong-hold hairspray.

Hours upon hours of time to accomplish the last two "Checks," um � are you kidding?
Don't worry, we heard the breaks come to a screeching halt on that last one too. Because any normal woman knows that as much as she wants to master the flawless makeup looks and hairstyles seen on glamazon celebrities, they're not really worth spending ungodly amounts of time fussing over -- especially for those of us that don't live our lives in front of cameras. But, ready for the good news? You don't have to spend hours on these looks.
To prove it, we gathered the best looks from the 2010 Emmy Awards and asked celebrity hairstylists and makeup artists (most of whom actually created the red carpet looks) how to copy the styles seen on the red carpet in 10 minutes or less. And guess what they said: 10 minutes? No problem. They gave us detailed step-by-step how-tos for all the hot trends like soft flowing waves, rich satin eyes and glowing skin. With their help, you can start blocking 20 minutes total prep time for a Hollywood-worthy hairstyle and makeup look -- a promise you and anyone else tapping their toes waiting for you can appreciate.
