The jokes were biting, the gowns were gorgeous and the hair was big (and feathered) at the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night.

Beth Behrs, Sofia Vergara and Claire Danes all were rocking their version of the Farrah Fawcett — between Behrs’s wispy, sideswept bangs, Vergara’s cascading curls and Danes’s outwardly swept, feathered and curled front tendrils, the three stars could have recreated Fawcett’s iconic poster.

And though the hair was retro, the gowns were all modern (Behrs wore Donna Karan Atelier, Vergara was in Herve L Leroux and Danes wore Prada). And all three ladies were some of the most stunning at the party (and they had some major competition!)

Tell us: What do you think of these stars’ fine feathered hair?

SAG Awards Beauty Breakdown: Lips & Tips

Jan/28/2013 at 12:30 PM ET

The real winners at the SAG Awards? Celeb makeup artists, who apparently found their star clients willing to go bold with their beauty looks on Sunday night. We spotted lipstick in a range of shades from neutral to very vampy; when it came to manis, stars sported everything from classic ballet-pink tips to Pinterest-approved nail art. Here are the 12 ladies whose looks we plan to copy soon — plus the exact lip and polish color they picked.

Anne Hathaway: Makeup artist Kate Lee tells PEOPLE that the deep rose color she used on the best supporting actress winner (Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour in Taffeta Rose, to be specific) was essentially a more intense version of the star’s pout’s natural color. And while her makeup was subdued, Tom Bachik went funkier with her nails, using two coats of L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail in I Will! to serve as the base for the butterfly accents on her middle and ring fingers.

The Lipstick Report: Golden Globes Edition

Red was the color of the night when it came to gowns, but there was hardly a red lip to be seen on any star at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night. Instead, we spotted a sea of pink, plum, fuchsia and nude pouts; here are the 11 ladies whose lip colors we loved and the exact shade they were wearing.

Amy Adams: To ensure that her delicate blush Marchesa gown didn’t wash her out, Adams’s makeup artist, Stephen Sollitto, went for a richer lip. He applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Plum Orchid underneath the line’s Lip Glacé in Raspberry for a hint of shine. The results? One pretty pink pout.

Hollywood babysitters must’ve been busy tonight, because four famous new moms were living it up — and looking so great — at the Golden Globes.

Wearing a curve-hugging blush Dolce & Gabbana gown, presenter Megan Fox opted for a night off with husband Brian Austin Green, leaving little guy Noah at home.

Adele made her hotly anticipated post-baby debut in a 3/4-length sleeve Burberry dress, finished with simple jewels and a pretty updo. Upon winning an award for her song, “Skyfall,” she admitted she’d come to the Globes not expecting to win, but to enjoy a night out without her baby boy.

Whose Makeup Made a Statement at the Emmys?

We didn’t see many smoky eyes or bold red lips at Sunday night’s Emmy Awards, but makeup artist Jo Strettell says that’s a good thing. The beauty pro, who did Girls star Lena Dunham’s Emmys makeup, thinks stars went a bit subtler Sunday.

“In general, the look was much cleaner and fresher,” Strettell tells PEOPLE. “Claire Danes had a stronger eye with a soft, stained mouth; Ginnifer Goodwin had a really strong eye with lashes, so there was a lot of that [eye makeup] going on. But in general it was more natural, which is really pretty.”

Strettell appreciates how stars either went for a “striking mouth” or a bold eye — but not both. “Go for the eye or go for the lip,” she advises.

Claire Danes Calls Herself a ‘Sales Slut’

In the latest issue of Asos magazine, Claire Danes rattles off the list of her high-fashion friends. There’s Narciso Rodriguez, who designed her wedding gown; Burberry’s Christopher Bailey, who designed her husband Hugh Dancy’s wedding suit; plus Miuccia Prada and the one and only Valentino.

But despite those haute hangers-on, Danes says she’s all about value shopping. “I’m a sales slut,” she admits. “I’m just very seduced by a sale. I go through phases where sometimes I’m a fiend and then there are dry spells that can last for months.”

Singling out stores like Legacy, Opening Ceremony and Prada as her favorites, the Homeland star says her wardrobe “is a mix of vintage and contemporary stuff.” And a lot of jeans. “[But] it’s so funny with jeans now, because if they don’t feel like a pair of sweatpants, I don’t have patience for them any more! I think I’m becoming increasingly lazy.”

Will Anne Hathaway wear a Valentino gown on her wedding day? The young star of The Devil Wears Prada is notoriously close with designer Valentino Garavani, so while she called in sick to the opening-night party of his Virtual Museum in New York on Wednesday night, that didn’t stop other guests from speculating on what she might wear when she weds fiancé Adam Shulman.

Stylist Rachel Zoe, who’s worked with Hathaway for nearly seven years, indicated that choosing a wedding dress designer might be difficult for the actress. “But it should be interesting,” she continued. “She’s so young and such a romantic. It will be a fashion ‘moment’ whatever she decides.”
