From Getting Ready To Sitting Pretty: The 2016 Emmy Awards In Celebrity Instagrams

Your VIP pass into this year’s awards, courtesy of the A list

Ahead of making their stunning red carpet appearances, setting their beauty looks and strapping on their heels, the A-list stars who attended the 2016 Emmy Awards shared some glimpses into what the getting ready element of the day looks like, plus just what happens inside the theatre once the step and repeat is finished. From face masks (and lip masks: did anyone know those were a thing?), to flowing dresses that were made for Boomerang and desperately finding any food or beverages available in the building, here’s your VIP pass behind-the-scenes of this year’s awards. Be sure to make it to the end to see Kristen Bell’s trio of Instagrams that had Team Bazaar cheering.

And last but not least, Kristen Bell who won the day with these hilarious posts…

Getting ready for the #emmys…Look closely…I have serious doubts this is actually a lip conditioning sticker my makeup artist @simonesiegl applied over my mouth…I'm pretty sure she just wanted me to zip it.

Caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and said, confidently, “This looks GREAT guys! Let's go!” Then was informed we're only half way done. Oh well. #emmys
