Looking red carpet fabulous? That's just another day's work for Maria Menounos!

The E! star took to the carpet for the 2015 SAG Awards on Sunday looking more glamorous than ever, from her exquisite Romona Keveza gown to her sleek straight hair (one of the evening's biggest trends). Whew, what a breathtaking look!

On the carpet, the Untold With Maria Menounos host was hard at working interviewing the night's biggest stars, chatting it up with Jennifer Aniston about her killer cleavage, and even sharing a silly moment with Sofía Vergara and Reese Witherspoon.

But before she hit the carpet, there was plenty of prep work to do. But don't take our word for it—go behind the scenes and check out Maria's SAG Awards diary!

Step 1: Time to Pamper!

On the morning of a major awards show, you've got to start the day out right—that means a Dunkin Donuts latte, people! The star started off her big day indulging in a mani-pedi, sharing a snap shot on Instagram of her pampering session.

"Short break to enjoy pampering & @dunkindonuts #hazelnutlatte #ad and nails by @enameldiction prep for #redcarpet @eonline #sagawards," she captioned the pic.

Step 2: Hair, Makeup and Puppy Time

Can you really get ready for a big event without your two best pals by your side? We're talking about Maria's sweet Bichons of course! The brunette bombshell again took to Instagram to share a quick video of her hair styling appointment (spoiler alert: it turns out beautifully!), cuddling her sweet pups in her lap.

"They want to come so bad! I wonder if they'll give them a credential," she joked. "I could hide them under my dress!"

Step 3: Co-Host Bonding

Dunkin Donuts hazelnut latte in hand, Maria met up with her fellow red carpet co-host Ross Mathews for a little last minute interviewing prep. And while the two are all smiles for the pic, Maria dished that her fellow host wasn't all that pleased with her choice of T-shirts.

"So excited for this beautiful day! @helloross was upset by my #Patriots shirt...lol!! @sagawards #eredcarpet @enews," she playfully captioned her Instagram pic.

Step 4: Showtime!

Lights, camera, red carpet! Hair and makeup done, Maria slipped into her stunning gown and took to the SAG Awards carpet. Before she began her star-studded interviews though, she took time to chat with some of her reporter pals.

"So proud of @afterbuzztv & @bhlonline crew on the @sagawards today! @ashleygraytv @derrialchriston @missashleydaniels @cathykelley," she wrote.
