These makeup and hair looks are worthy of their own statuettes

Emilia Clarke, 2012
With a slightly teased crown, perfectly groomed brows, long lashes and lips in a fetching shade of pink, Emilia Clarke made her Emmys debut looking about as gorgeous as is humanly possible. It may be quite a departure from her Mother of Dragons look (you know, minimal makeup and a platinum blond wig), but she's completely rocking it.

Lucille Ball, 1953
Leave it to Lucille Ball to absolutely slay her beauty game at the Emmy Awards more than 60 years ago. She wore her hair in her signature curly pompadour'd updo, and let her expressively arched eyebrows and perfectly-painted scarlet lips take center stage.

Priyanka Chopra, 2016
Here's definitive proof that a well executed red lip will never go out of style. Priyanka Chopra dominated the Emmys beauty game at the 2016 awards with this absolutely flawless matte red lip, with an assist from power brows and a shiny low pony.

Diahann Carroll, 1986
Major lashes. Major arches. And very major cheekbones. Diahann Carroll was the first black actress to ever be nominated in the "Lead Actress in a Comedy Series" category back in 1969, and boy did she serve up the looks.

Keri Russell, 2000
With her crown of curls, apple cheeks and pink lips, Keri Russell looked downright cherubic on the Emmy red carpet back in 2000. It's quite the contrast to her new look -- nowadays, you'll likely catch her rocking a sleek 'do with co-star and boo Matthew Rhys on her arm.
