Emmys 2016: The Best Behind-the-Scenes Instagram Shots
While our attention has been mainly focused on our TV screens for the past two hours, thanks to the Emmy Awards, it’s safe to say that when the commercial breaks come along, we immediately scroll through Instagram. Let’s face it: What goes on behind the scenes is just as entertaining, if not more, than what happens on live television. Don’t believe us? Scroll to see the best Instagram shots from the 2016 Emmys, from the best masking moments (courtesy of Amy Schumer and Kristen Bell) to the best makeup game (we’re looking at you, Emily Ratajkowski and Michelle Dockery) to goofing around when the camera isn’t looking (ahem, Kerry Washington).
Heidi Klum shows us how to prep for the Emmys.
BRB, going to channel Emily Ratajkowski’s mermaid-worthy eyeliner look.
Amy Schumer never misses a chance to poke fun at her red-carpet prep game.
Kristen Bell questions the power of a lip-conditioning mask.
America Ferrera opts of a “light bite” (read: a burger) before slipping into her Emmys gown. Because who says no to a burger?!
Michelle Dockery’s berry lip is, no doubt, our fave of the night.
Sarah Hyland shows off her bling, nail art and all.
Taraji P. Henson strikes a pose before heading to the Emmys.
Olivia Culpo’s magical purple eyeliner.
Amy Poehler’s glam team does the final touch-ups.
Sarah Paulson shows off her gorgeous Prada dress minutes before walking the red carpet (and we swoon).
Emilia Clarke shares her little note that came with her sandwich, courtesy of Jimmy Kimmel and Kimmel’s mom.
Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn goofing around backstage.
The hunger is real for Julie Bowen.
Juice boxes FTW!

Kristen Bell questions the power of a lip-conditioning mask.
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.
