Emmys 2025: Chris Appleton on Best Hair Looks

And now, Chris Appleton to present the award for outstanding hair on the Emmys 2025 red carpet.

It’s no surprise the celebrity hairstylist-who works with stars like Kim Kardashian and Nicole Kidman-couldn’t pick just one favorite moment.

He shared in a recent interview with TopMob News on September 15th that he’s a fan of classic, glamorous styles. He specifically praised Sydney Sweeney’s hair, noting that it always appears beautiful, shiny, and healthy.

Chris admired Sydney Sweeney’s easygoing hairstyles, but he also enjoyed when she put more effort into her look, like Selena Gomez’s sophisticated updo. He specifically loved how Gomez’s dark brown hair gleamed in a sleek, pulled-back ponytail.

The 42-year-old also highlighted a standout summer hairstyle, mentioning Michelle Williams as having one of the best looks. He noted her color had a natural, grown-out root effect, which is currently very trendy.

The expert observed that BlackPink’s Lisa prioritizes hair conditioning, which contributes to her consistently soft and romantic look.

Chris is passionate about hair style and health, but his expertise also extends to color – he’s the Global Color Ambassador for Schwarzkopf Professional, after all.

With many people likely wanting to recreate the fall hair colors seen at the Emmys in 2025, he advised getting a professional salon appointment instead of trying to dye hair at home.

Chris advised getting professional advice tailored to your individual needs. He suggested considering several factors, including eye color, skin tone, and even personality type, to find the best fit.

I’ve always heard blondes have all the fun, but Chris actually made me think about the other side! He pointed out that his client, Jennifer Lopez, feels like she *doesn’t* necessarily fit that stereotype. It really got me thinking – I guess it just proves that happiness isn’t about hair color, it’s about finding what makes *you* happy.

Chris added, “Sometimes it’s okay to bend the rules. That’s why it’s helpful to collaborate with a professional who can guide you and help you achieve a truly stunning final result.”

To keep Sydney’s blonde hair looking shiny and natural, like she wore to the Emmys, her stylist recommends using Schwarzkopf’s Agora Vibrance toner – it’s an essential product for achieving that look.

I’ve always been amazed by how incredible everything looks on the red carpet, and Chris let us in on his secret! He says it’s all about getting that stunning, high-shine, glossy finish – the kind that really pops on camera and makes everything sparkle. It’s his go-to trick for a flawless look, and now I know it too!
