Recreate Gisele Bundchen's latest red-carpet look with these expert tips & tricks:

The Hair: Old Hollywood

Celebrity stylist Harry Josh explains: "I wanted to go for a sleek, sophisticated style for Gisele this year. The Met Ball is fashion’s biggest night, and I thought this was the perfect look to complement the evening.

Although Gisele's hair is already luminous and healthy, I began with John Frieda Full Repair Perfect Ends Sheer Mist before blow-drying to protect her tresses from the heat and seal the cuticles for flawlessly shiny waves. I started by blow-drying Gisele’s hair, curling each piece carefully and setting it to keep the shape. The curls were then brushed out to create a soft and sleek wave throughout. To finish, John Frieda Full Repair Touch-Up Flyaway Tamer was used to weightlessly smooth flyaways for a polished red-carpet look."

The Makeup: Naturally Gorgeous

Renowned makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift explains: “We wanted Gisele to look naturally sophisticated, making the look more modern and not falling into a retro direction. It made the whole look beautiful and fashion forward without being heavily made up. A perfect Gisele look.

For the eyes, I used Shu Uemura Mascara and Shu Uemura Eyeshadow in a soft blue/gray. For the face, I used my own creation, RMS Beauty Un Cover-Up in #33, as a light foundation. (Un Cover-Up also took the place of a traditional blush, as I used it to contour.) RMS Beauty Living Luminizer delivered a striking glow to the skin. Since Gisele loves for her skin to shine, I also added the luminizer on her collarbone and shoulders. On the lips, I applied RMS Beauty Lip & Skin Balm in Simply Vanilla for a natural shine and nude, natural lip color, atop Chanel Lip Definer in #34."

Celebrity makeup artist Lauren Kaye Cohen shares how she created Elisabeth Moss' ethereal Emmys look:

SKIN: To get Elisabeth’s radiant-looking, flawless skin, Lauren began by using a combination of Shu Uemura’s Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation and the new Nobara Cream Cover Stick Foundation (in areas that needed more coverage), both in shades 784. She then applied both foundations with Shu Uemura’s Natural 18 Goat Brush, and dabbed a bit of YSL Teint Parfait Complexion Enhancer in 02 Rose Pearl with her fingertips across the tops of Elisabeth's cheekbones. Lauren finished with Shu Uemura’s Face Powder in Matte 5yr Light, applying it just to the center of the face with Shu’s Natural 27 Brush.

EYES: For eye shadow, Lauren used YSL Fard Lumière Aquarésistant Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Sands and Copper Brown and then layered Giorgio Armani Maestro Eye Shadow Quads in 02 Floral and 05 Desert with Shu Uemura Portable Natural 10 Brush. She wanted to keep the eyes very clean and really make them all about the lashes, so she applied Lancôme’s new Ôscillation Powerbooster lash primer followed by Ôscillation Mascara in Black.

LIPS: For lips, Lauren used Shu Uemura Lip Drawing Pencil in PK 382 and then combined the Rouge Unlimited OR 531S lipstick with Shu’s new Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine lipstick in OR 520.

I haven't been this excited about a product launch since John Frieda's Color Glaze, and even then the packaging was nowhere near as fierce... Art of Hair is simply in its own league. Created by Shu Uemura, a legend in the makeup industry, this product collection works as wonderfully as it feels, smells and looks on the counter.

My Must-Haves from Art of Hair include:

Liquid Fabric Mineral Texture Spray
If you want to look like you've been to the beach (but can't leave the confines of your cubicle), this wave-enhancing spray can add the volume and texture you crave. $30.

Silk Oil Smoothing Fluid
This finishing serum helps to tame frizz and flyaways, and gives your hair a healthy sheen. $30.
