Music’s biggest night is officially over, and now’s the time to also sit back and reflect on the unforgettable beauty looks that graced last night’s red carpet.
Every Grammy Awards ceremony brings with it a few guarantees: meme-able moments we’ll be discussing well into Monday, exceptional performances from the best in the biz, and the heart-racing, anxiety-inducing AOTY award portion of the show that’ll keep us at the edge of our (living room) seats. Most importantly—to us, that is—are all the beauty looks that will blaze the trail for subsequent award shows—and 2024 altogether.
A cursory glance at the finalist list hinted that the 2024 Grammy Awards will be a grand beauty and hair salon extravaganza. Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, SZA, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, and Dua Lipa never cease to amaze us with their step-and-repeat poses. Moreover, the attendance of speakers from a wide range of entertainment industries, including Oprah, Meryl Streep, and Christina Aguilera, almost guaranteed that the glam squads would be well-received for the biggest night in music.
Let’s look at these celebs and more—the ones that blew us away at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and provided us with more than enough beauty rumours to tide us over till the Grammy Awards of the following year.
DOJA CAT
Always one for a transformative beauty moment, Doja Cat arrived with her body covered in intricate custom tattoos, including “Dilara Findikoglu” (the Turkish-British designer whom she’s wearing) spelled out on her forehead.
VICTORIA MONET
Best New Artist winner Victoria Monét’s ’90s-inspired updo and face-framing tendrils— styled by Davontae Washington using Wella Professionals—made an elegant statement on the Grammys red carpet. Her bronzed makeup look was crafted by celebrity artist Alexander Echeverri using MAC Cosmetics.
LANA DEL REY
Lana Del Rey added a romantic touch to her monochromatic outfit with an oversized hair bow. This whimsical accessory perfectly accentuated her retro-inspired look, reflecting her unique style and artistic flair.
MILEY CYRUS
Miley Cyrus brought drama to the Grammys red carpet with her super-teased curls that boasted impressive height and volume. While her hair stole the spotlight, she kept her makeup relatively simple, allowing her chiselled cheekbones, subtle cat-eye flick, and nude lip to enhance her natural beauty.
DUA LIPA
Dua Lipa served up plenty of beauty inspiration with her dark crimson waves and effortless smoky metallic liner. Her look exuded confidence and sophistication, making her a standout both on the red carpet and on the artistic stage.
TAYLOR SWIFT
Taylor Swift embraced the red lip trend and stunned with her side-swept waves adorned by an undone French braid. This effortlessly chic hairstyle perfectly complemented her elegant ensemble, exuding a sense of grace and charm.
OLIVIA RODRIGO
Olivia Rodrigo proved that sometimes simplicity is the key to making a memorable statement. Her elegant red ombré lip and bold yet simple eyeliner look perfectly complemented her overall appearance, capturing attention and showcasing her exquisite beauty.
PARIS HILTON
Paris Hilton defied the conventional notion of “mermaid hair” by showcasing perfectly blown-out, straight hair that oozed glamour. Her sleek and polished locks challenged stereotypes, redefining what it means to have mermaid-worthy hair.
