The ladies of the 2011 Emmys injected some serious glamour into the red carpet with an array of beauty looks.

Blake Lively rocked two very different, but equally gorgeous beauty looks on the red carpet for Savages this week. We were a little bit torn between her amazing fishtail braid and her old Hollywood style peek-a-boo bang — but in the end, we had to go with the braid! Her hair looks so thick and voluminous. We don't see Mischa Barton on too many red carpets these days, which is a shame because she's such a classic beauty. We loved her chic winged eyeliner and red lip at the Serpentine Gallery Summer party in London on Thursday, but does it rival a certain popstar who is currently rocking deep purple locks?
