To get a look like Meester's at home, start by applying a light-hold mousse (like Aussie Opposites Attract Styling Mousse, $3.99) and roughly blow drying hair for texture and volume. Once hair is dry, tease a few random sections around your head for more texture.
Now's your chance to get creative. Basically, to create this look you need to take sections of hair (some small, some larger), twist them and then pin them near the center of the back of your head and work outwards. Leave a few strands loose near your face. Remember, the point of this look is not to be perfect or exactly duplicate Meester's updo. Just twist and pin until you're happy with the shape and look of your hairstyle. Finish by spraying a strong hold hairspray (like Rusk W8less Plus Extra Strong Hold Shaping and Control Hairspray, $11.90) on the back of your head.
Blow dry your hair, focusing on lifting your roots (try putting your head upside down) and creating a side-part. Finally, take a 3-inch barrel curling iron and curl small sections of hair all over, holding the iron vertically. Keep the top part of your hair smooth. Finish with hairspray, or for every day, skip the hairspray and let curls loosen naturally.

Mary-Louise Parker: Makeup
Instead of doing a full-blown purple smoky eye like makeup artist Tina Turnbow did for Parker on Emmy day, opt for a more subtle version for every day wear. Start by lining top and bottom lash lines with purple pencil liner like Victoria's Secret VS Makeup Eye Liner in Exotic Plum, $8, then smudge the lines a bit for a softer finish using a smudge brush or a Q-Tip. This will give you a hint of color without looking too over-the-top. Finish the eyes with two coats of black mascara, Turnbow used Maybelline New York Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara, $10.99.
Sure, it would be nice to walk the red carpet like Heidi Klum, Kim Kardashian or Drew Barrymore, but most of us will never get the chance. However, that doesn't mean we can't have red carpet-worthy style every day, right? That's why we pulled together easy-to-do tips from celebrity hair and makeup artists for our favorite Emmy Awards looks. Now, you can feel like an A-list star whenever you want, even if the only one fawning over you is your pooch.
