FKA Twigs

Before the Grammys even began, FKA Twigs won the award for Best Dance/Electronic Album. That’s a slay, which is also what her intricate hairstyle would literally be able to do if those sculptural woven and pointed elements were made out of metal. (The whole look is still a slay, of course, but a different kind—full of red pigment and texture and what looks like a lot of gel.) The minimal makeup, complete with a lined lip, touch of blurred liner, and bleached—not red-dyed—brows made it even more interesting.

Sabrina Carpenter

Do angels drink espresso? This one does. But I think her bright eyes can be attributed to that perfect shimmery white shadow at the inner corners more so than caffeine. Sabrina Carpenter’s angelic look came complete with cherubic rosy cheeks and the softest loose bun with face-framing butter blonde curls.

To get the look, her hairstylist Evanie Frausto used a kit full of Redken. He had the starlet wash her hair with  Redken’s Acidic Bonding Concentrate ShampooandConditioner, followed by the Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Bandage Balm for a healthy base. Before curling her hair, he used the Redken Root Lifter Volumizing Spray and Redken Full Volume Mousse for tousled volume, and then pinned her hair into a loose, ethereal updo.

Pink Pantheress

Her name is Pink and we’re really glad to meet her. We’re also glad to see the fun updo piled on top her head. It’s a big change up from the Hannah Montana-esque bangs and sleek strands she usually rocks. The soft, glowy makeup by makeup artist Julian Stoller (that shimmery shadow! the clear lip oil!) is a perfect addition.

“We wanted this look to focus on really beautiful, flushed skin, so that the dress wouldn’t be overpowered in any way,” explained Stoller, who used all Urban Decay. Key products included Hydromaniac Blush Glow Hydrator in the shade Rebellious, the Naked Shaped Palette in Warm, Tube Job Mascara in Intense Black, 24/7 Liquid Stick Retractable Eyeliner in the shade Brown Noise, and of course All Nighter Setting Spray.

Tyla

Glowy as ever, Tyla appeared with her dark hair (mostly) gathered into a voluminous, side-parted ponytail. The parted side was completely pulled back, while the other section was left long and loose with the addition of a single perfect, tiny braid.

Olivia Dean

How does a Best New Artist winner arrive at the 2026 Grammys? With big curls and expertly winged liner, of course. And how about that pinky-brown satin lipstick (Hourglass’ Unlocked Satin Crème Lipstick in Larch)? It’s so easy to fall in love.

Addison Rae

“Bounciest hair performance” isn’t an official award at the Grammys, but it should be. This year, the title would go to Addison Rae, who also won for best bellybutton bedazzling and you-should-wear-that-everyday-it’s-such-a-good-color-on-you pink lipstick.

Celebrity makeup artist Nina Park used a kit of K-Beauty brand Clio Cosmetics to create the look, with her signature “Nina Park Lip” courtesy of the brand’s Crystal Glam Lip Tint in 01 Vintage Apple and Essential Lip & Cheek Tap in 04 From Berry.

Audrey Nuna

The color white was a major player on the red carpet, but no one used it as creatively as Audrey Nuna with her elastic-secured, twisted updo. Also of note: the excellent blush placement and matching nutty brown nude lipstick.

Chappell Roan

The headlines are focusing on Chappell Roan’s nipple piercing-centered Mugler gown, but those fishtail braids, teeny tiny crimps, and messy curls deserve some attention, too. And how about that glowy complexion courtesy of Lord Gavin McLeod-Valentine and Augustinus Bader skincare? Or those glitter-lined eyes courtesy of MAC?

“It’s a Mugler medieval fantasy for the carpet. We wanted the look to be sultry and smoky, with a little ’90s influence to honor the era this archival gown comes from,” explained makeup artist Andrew Dahling while chatting about the look in a press release. “A taupe smoky eye with a touch of shimmering liner, paired with what I’m calling a nude-red lip. Sultry, smoky, with a touch of glam.”

Doechii

Doechii’s dress is giving witchy woo, but the glam is full (swamp) princess. The rapper’s dark hair spilled out in tight curls from a ponytail at her crown, and her skin glowed with a touch of plum blush and ultra-shiny lip gloss.

Lady Gaga

It’s still “Abracadabra” season, little monsters. Lady Gaga wore her bleached hair twisted back and streaming down her back while her makeup came complete with cool-toned lip liner and sculptural, truly shadowy eyeshadow.

Laufey

Lavender and Laufey… both beautiful “L” words. We’ll add “lovely” to the mix, too. The Icelandic singer arrived to the award show wearing a soft purple Miu Miu gown that was paired with matching shimmery eye shadow by Nina Park and middle-parted soft waves by stylist Jenny Cho on behalf of Emi Jay. Those face-framing tendrils were held in place by Popstar Clips and scented by Aura Mist in Angel Wings.

Hailey Bieber

With her new lob slicked back into a bun, Mama Bieber came accessorized with massive pear-shaped diamonds and her natural freckles. Her gorgeous makeup included an almost-brick red lip (darker than she usually goes for!) and soft, warm, brownish-red shadow.

Rosé

@roses_are _rosie is at the Grammys, and her curls are curly as can be. After giving us a peek at her short platinum curls via Instagram this weekend, Rosé appeared at the award show with a bouncy middle-parted bob.

Billie Eilish

I’m sure Billie Eilish has heard of the prep school pin trend. Still, Ms. Ocean Eyes is always going to do things her way. This time around, that meant wearing her silky dark hair middle parted and pinned back with two barrettes—one at each ear. Said ocean eyes received a healthy swipe of black liner.

Halle Bailey

We can always count on Halle Bailey to captivate. This time around, she kept her locs close to her scalp, tucked under super voluminous, straight darks strands that traveled all the way past her waist. Glittery shadow and lush lashes completed the vision.
