Rihanna's Red Grammy Lacquers

InStyle: Steal Her Shade: Celebrity Lipsticks and Nail Polishes

We love spotting Rihanna's creative nail art designs, but the timeless red manicure at the Grammy awards gave her look a classic touch. Her manicurist, Kimmie Kyees, who also works with Katy Perry, used a combination of Red Carpet Manicure's Gel Polishes in Ooh La Liscious and Red Carpet Ready ($10 each). "She wanted to match her dress perfectly with an orange-red color, so we blended two shades to come up with the perfect look," Kyees told us. Mission accomplished!

Jessica Alba's T...

Just when you thought you had seen the last of Tangerine Tango, Jessica Alba gave Pantone's 2012 color of the year new life with her high-impact matte lip. "The dress was the inspiration," said her makeup artist Lauren Andersen, who used Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Riviera ($28) on the star. "I loved the contrast between her glowing skin and the orange lip. It's an almost-tropical pop of color that's not an exact match for the dress, but it's close."

Michelle Dockery...

Although Michelle Dockery's beauty routine on "Downton Abbey" takes the minimal route, she appropriately lacquered up in Deborah Lippmann's Nefertiti ($16), a pale gilded hue, for the Golden Globe Awards. We love how it mirrors the metallic lace on her dress without appearing too matchy-matchy.

Claire Danes's '...

Truth be told, we're still torn up over the ending of "My So-Called Life," so seeing Claire Danes sport a '90s-era burgundy lip was a defining beauty moment at the SAG Awards. After laying down a hydrating lip balm base, Danes's makeup artist Matin Maulawizada blended Laura Mercier's pencils in Coffee Bean and Deep Wine ($22 each) for a deep bordeaux shade that would make Jordan Catalano swoon.

The Superdome in New Orleans may have lost power following Queen Bey's stellar half time performance at the 2013 Super Bowl, but her solid gold nails kept shining thanks to the gilded chevron Minx pattern (prices vary; minxnails.com for locations) her manicurist, Lisa Logan, applied.

Zou bisou, bisou! Perhaps as a homage to Paré's "Mad Men" character Megan Draper, makeup artist Mai Quynh balanced her mod smoky eye with a combination of Chanel's Rouge Coco Lip Color in Chalys, and Rouge Allure Lip Color in Gracile ($34 each). "My inspiration came from the forest green chiffon dress," said Quynh. "The couture-with-a-bad-girl-edge echoes the regal essence of the overall look."

Jenny from the block knows a thing or two about working a perfect nude lip, and the buff gloss she wore to the Golden Globes was no different. Makeup artist Mary Philips balanced her smoky eye with L'Oreal's Shine Stain in Eternally Nude ($10), a flesh-toned hue with the slightest touch of peach.

When Old Hollywood glamour serves as inspiration, what better way to finish the look than with a classic red lip? At the SAG Awards, Jennifer Lawrence opted for Giorgio Armani's Lip Maestro in #400 The Red, a blue-based crimson that delivers saturated color with a matte finish. Marilyn Monroe would have been proud!

To play off of her icy Chanel gown, Anne Hathaway painted on the label's opalescent nail lacquer in Pearl Drop ($27).
