THE GRAMMYS BEAUTY
The 2026 Grammy Awards, held on February 1st in Los Angeles, were a night marked by unforgettable moments in music and a red carpet that felt like a true extension of the show itself. Between highly anticipated performances, emotional speeches, and historic wins, fashion and beauty helped tell the stories of everyone who walked the ceremony.
In beauty, the mood was one of sophistication with personality. Ultra-long hair, sleek and well-defined ponytails, and makeup in brown-toned palettes dominated the red carpet, balancing glamour with natural ease. Skin appeared lightweight and luminous, with a “barely-there” finish, while eyes and lips gained subtle definition an aesthetic that felt elegant, current, and deeply connected to each artist’s identity.
Among the highlights of the night, Miley Cyrus opted for a look that seemed simple at first glance but was intentional in every detail. Nominated for Best Pop Album with Something Beautiful, she chose a hairstyle with bangs and loose strands, creating a natural yet sophisticated effect. Her makeup followed the same direction: blush and lipstick in soft rosy nude tones, enhancing her natural beauty with understated elegance.
Bad Bunny, one of the biggest names of the evening and winner of Album of the Year, appeared on the red carpet with a look that celebrated his roots and identity. His wet-look hair finish brought a modern, effortless vibe, while the makeup focused on natural skin, reinforcing his presence without excess.
Sabrina Carpenter, nominated in six categories and also part of the night’s performances, chose a look that balanced delicacy and impact. Her hair was pulled back, with intentionally loose strands at the front and softly waved bangs framing her face. Illuminated eye makeup highlighted her expression, paired with a soft rosy blush and a deeper rose-toned lipstick, creating contrast within a clean, polished proposal.
One of the favorites for Best New Artist, Olivia Dean embraced a minimalist and refined beauty look. Clean makeup enhanced her skin, with emphasis on a nude brown lipstick, while her hair was worn loose with sculpted curls and a side part, adding lightness and sophistication to the overall look.
Always one to draw attention, Chappell Roan delivered one of the boldest looks of the night. Her red hair was worn loose in voluminous curls, with curly bangs and fine braids some loose, others tied creating an aesthetic that evoked a medieval and fantastical universe. The makeup matched the drama, with naturally pale skin and striking eyes enhanced by colorful eyeshadow and black contouring in a gypsy-inspired style.
Even without any nominations, Paris Hilton proved why she remains a staple at major events. She appeared with her hair worn loose and swept to one side, creating an elegant and classic look. Her makeup, simple yet powerful, highlighted the eyes with blended eyeshadow, defined lashes, and precise eyeliner.
Closing the night’s most memorable beauty moments, Lady Gaga delivered a look rich in meaning. With her hair half-up and slicked straight back, bleached brows, and makeup in soft rosy nude tones, the artist embraced an aesthetic that appeared simple at first, yet was deeply connected to her Monster era. Lip contouring enhanced the lips and reinforced the strength of her powerful, elegant, and symbolic image.
At the 2026 Grammys, makeup, hair, and overall styling revealed choices, emotions, and personal narratives transforming the red carpet into a space of expression just as powerful as the stage itself.
