Golden Globes 2017: The Best Behind-the-Scenes Instagram Shots

Date January 8, 2017

We’re sure you’re still busy getting through all the glam moments on the 2016 Golden Globes red carpet, but let’s be honest here: live television just doesn’t do the hair and makeup justice. Thankfully, Instagram’s there for us when we want to creep our fave celebs, makeup artists and hairstylists as they get ready for one of the biggest nights of awards season.

Sure, the main action may be on TV, but we all know some of the best candid moments for us beauty nerds happen behind the scenes. Proving they don’t just wake up looking like that, scroll down to see the BTS Instagram shots, starring our fave celebs.

Yes, it really does take a village to get ready for the Golden Globes.

Getting ready for the Golden Globes with my favorite team @streichersisters and @_michellesaunders ????I'm keeping you updated through my story – check out my #bts there!
