TV's biggest night is an all-day affair for Dancing with the Stars judge Inaba, who sits pretty in the makeup chair to begin the "madness of beauty" hours before the Emmy Awards kick off.

Is that her beauty secret? With her makeup officially intact, a recently single Inaba preps for the L.A. heat with a refreshing beverage. "And it's time to go! What's in my sippy cup?" she teases.

All that hard work paid off! Inaba makes a mirror-ball-worthy impression on the preshow red carpet with pal Raj before DWTS is recognized in the outstanding host category.

The actor cleans up nicely with a close shave before representing his show, Boardwalk Empire, at the ceremony. Think he took some style pointers from girlfriend Ashlee Simpson, who played paparazzi as Piazza got ready?

"Ma, it fits," Piazza announces as he shows his Charles "Lucky" Luciano-savvy ensemble (well, minus the bow-tie), hours before his show took home honors for outstanding directing.

Is she getting ready for work at Pope amp Associates – or a flashy awards show? It's the latter for Scandal star Washington, who prepares to trade her safe-for-work ensembles for some #glam. "The artists at work," she adds, with nods to celeb hairstylist Kiyah Wright and makeup maven Carola Gonzalez.

No scandals or sandals here! Washington takes her ensemble to new heights with some Christian Louboutin heels that put an extra touch of glitz on her already-sparkly ensemble.
