The stars stepped out on September 12 with jaw-dropping outfits and glamorous beauty looks at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards. Many celebs donned icy jewels to add a finishing touch to their looks—but the supplemental details that seemed to go unnoticed this year? The hair accessories that altered entire looks on the gold carpet at the 2022 Emmy Awards.

The hair details were a little all-over the place, with both feminine flowers and edgy hair wire making an appearance—the most dominant trend seemed to be anything goes. Ahead, scroll through the best hair accessories of the night.

Nicole Byer's Wrapped Roots

Byer's wire-wrapped roots aren't your typical hair accessory, which is why we love this look so much. Bonus? You probably already have everything you need to recreate it at home.
