Leighton Meester and Adam Brody have long been a Hollywood power couple, and their recent appearance at the 2025 Emmy Awards was no exception. The two stars looked stunning on the red carpet, with Leighton in a gorgeous gown and Adam in a sharp suit. But what really caught everyone’s attention was their flawless hair and makeup, which was expertly done by their respective beauty teams.
ET had the opportunity to sit down with Leighton’s makeup artist and Adam’s groomer to get an inside look at how the couple prepared for the prestigious event. And let’s just say, it was a true testament to the saying “behind every great man is a great woman.”
Leighton’s makeup artist, Sarah, revealed that the inspiration for the actress’ look was old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist. “We wanted to create a classic look that would still stand out on the red carpet,” Sarah shared. And that’s exactly what she did. Leighton’s makeup was flawless, with a soft, smoky eye and a bold red lip. Her skin was glowing and her cheekbones were perfectly contoured, giving her a timeless and elegant look.
But achieving that flawless look took a lot of work. Sarah revealed that she and Leighton had been planning the makeup look for weeks, trying out different products and techniques to find the perfect combination. And on the day of the Emmys, Sarah spent hours perfecting every detail, making sure that Leighton looked her absolute best.
As for Adam, his groomer, Michael, also had a vision in mind for the actor’s look. “We wanted to keep it simple and clean, but still make a statement,” Michael shared. And that’s exactly what he did. Adam’s hair was styled in a classic side-swept look, with just the right amount of product to give it a polished finish. His beard was neatly trimmed and shaped, adding a touch of ruggedness to his overall look.
Michael revealed that he and Adam had been working together for years, and they have developed a great understanding of what works best for the actor. “Adam is very easygoing and trusts my judgment, which makes my job a lot easier,” Michael said with a smile.
But it wasn’t just about the hair and makeup for these two. Leighton and Adam also put in a lot of effort to ensure that they were in their best shape for the big night. Leighton’s makeup artist revealed that the actress had been following a strict skincare routine for weeks, and she had also been hitting the gym regularly to stay in shape. And Adam’s groomer shared that the actor had been working out and eating clean to maintain his toned physique.
The result of all this hard work was evident on the red carpet. Leighton and Adam looked like a perfect match, with their hair and makeup complementing each other perfectly. They were the epitome of Hollywood glamour, and it was clear that they had put in a lot of effort to make sure they looked their best.
But it wasn’t just about the physical appearance for this power couple. Leighton and Adam also radiated with happiness and love, which was evident in every photo and interview from the night. They were supportive of each other, and it was clear that they were each other’s biggest fans.
As their beauty teams put it, Leighton and Adam were the perfect example of how a strong and supportive partnership can bring out the best in each other. And their appearance at the 2025 Emmy Awards was a true reflection of that.
