At Fair Game cocktail party hosted by Giorgio Armani in Cannes, Blunt wore Streicher's favorite lip hue. "I have been obsessing about the color and wearing it a lot myself," the makeup artist told us. "It's a great spring color - it's pink, but a young, fresh version that's flattering on almost everyone."

"Her fashion sense has a strong British influence," hairstylist Laini Reeves said of Blunt's sleek style. "We sewed a vintage necklace onto an elastic headband for this event."

The newlywed supported husband John Krasinski at the Emmy Awards. "We wanted a style that was very different from any that Emily had worn before," said Reeves. "I knew that a modern look based on '20s waves was the perfect complement to her gown." By adding the finishing touch - a diamond earring sewn along two criss-crossed bobby pins - Reeves made sure the retro updo had a one-of-a-kind vibe.

"This is my new cut and color. It's the darkest and most drastic I've ever done," Blunt told InStyle of her dark bob. "I had mid-length long hair for so long, so I fancied a change."

At the premiere of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Blunt paired a retro-inspired cat eye with a petal pink lip. "I was very inspired by Emily's dress, and drew upon its chic '50s-esque silhouette for her look," said Streicher.

"Emily wanted smoky eyes paired with soft pink lips that echoed her Lorraine Schwartz ruby earrings," said the star's makeup artist Jenn Streicher of her Golden Globes look. After creating a smooth canvas, she defined Blunt's eyes with Hourglass's Kohl Eye Pencil in Espresso and smudged the line with a shadow brush. Picking up a pale shimmer shade from the Hourglass Shadow Duo in Gypsy, she highlighted the brow bone and blended the matte brown onto her lids.
