Sporting a romantic hairstyle with 1960s sensibilities, Riley Keough's Emmys look nods to her grandmother Priscilla Presley. Presley was known to wear her hair swept up and out of her face in a taller-the-better beehive, with her lengths worn down and polished. Keough, who is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, sported a modern take on the look with a half-up, half-down look tied off with a black bow on January 15.

Created by stylist Gregory Russell using Pureology products, Keough's look features a modern take on Presley's coiffure. The half-up look features a very subtle bouffant, adding just enough height that you can still appreciate the black bow barrette that sits atop her head. The bow adds a bit of texture and ties back to her black Chanel dress.

For the half-down portion of the look, Russel added length and volume with tape in extensions from Great Lengths. “I love using Great Lengths Tape In Extensions because they are fine enough and narrow to fall very naturally,” says Russell.

To style the clip-ins, Gregory gave Riley a blowout before adding two rows of tape-ins. Then, he added the Pureology Soft Finish Hairspray, curled her hair with a 1.25” iron, and pinned the curls to allow them too cool.

"Once the curled sections were cooled, I removed section by section and brushed through, immediately spraying with Soft Finish for additional hold and volume," says Gregory. "I then used some Lock It Down Hairspray brushed it out using a fine-bristled brush."

Keough's makeup, done by Mai Quynh using Chanel Beauty, is an airy approach to her grandmother's heavy smoky eye. Quynh used a mix of the Ombre Première Libre in Mûrier Noir and the Stylo Ombre et Contour in Nude Éclat to create a delicate, metallic smoky eye that made the actress's blue eyes pop. To allow the eye look to truly sing, she finished it off with the Chanel 31 Le Rouge lipstick in the Rouge Beige.
