Unlike the Oscars, or even the more laid-back Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards, Grammys beauty always stands out. We can expect bold hair and makeup from all the stars across all the categories: country, pop, hip-hop — everything. Tonight’s show proves the 2023 Grammy Awards are no different.  here’s no subtle no-makeup makeup here—just bold, look-at-me beauty. And we live for it.

Grammys beauty is always pretty iconic. One just has to think back to Adele’s flipped-out blonde lob and major cat eyes back in 2012 or Beyoncé’s crimped caramel-colored hair and bronze eyeshadow in 2017. Or, we can go even further back to before most of us remember. There was Selena Quintanilla’s iconic red lip in 1994 and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s bleached buzzcut in 1998. And who can forget Jennifer Lopez in 2000 with green eyeshadow matching her plunging green dress?

This year, we’re drooling over Taylor Swift‘s classic red lip, Doja Cat‘s pixie cut and all the TikTokers slaying the red carpet. Below, some of our faves and how to get their look.

Doja Cat

The rapper and singer brought the drama with a black pixie cut and dramatic cat-eye. Ernesto Casillas did her makeup (with Kiss lashes!) and hairstylist Jared Henderson slicked down the cute pixie with GHD hair tools
.

Blac Chyna

Nude lips ensure Blac Chyna’s glittery eye makeup stands out.

Sheryl Crow

The classic beauty went for beach-y waves tonight.

Gayle

The “ABCDEFU” singer, who we interviewed!, rocked her two-tone hair on the Grammy red carpet.

Lizzo

Lizzo’s peach-pink makeup perfectly matches her bold gown. But we’re especially loving her curls, created by stylist Shelby Swain using Harry Josh Pro Tools and Sebastian Professional products. “Creating this look for Lizzo’s red carpet look was a love affair!” Swain said in a statement. “Lizzo’s look was inspired by the intricate beauty and detail of the flowers that illuminated her face and the vibrant color of her beautiful gown. I wanted to create a romantic elegant hairstyle that complimented her bold beauty.”

Anna Sitar

The TikToker faked a bob for the big event thanks to hairstylist Bradley Leake and Hidden Crown Hair extensions. Her glam makeup was done by artist Hailey Hoff with ColourPop!

Nija Charles

The singer slayed ’90s makeup with shimmery eyes and brown lipstick.

Amanda Gorman

The poet looked so glam with the perfect berry lip.

Brandi Carlile

Makeup artist Hinako used Peripera lip products to create Carlile’s pretty pout, while stylist Pamela Neal used Madison Reed’s Color Reviving Gloss in Prosecco to give her hair a “strawberry grunge” vibe.

Kelsea Ballerini

Makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan used CoverGirl products for the singer’s glam and we love how the red lip pops against her yellow dress. She also gave her client a snatched up-do with Mermade Hair hot tools.

Dylan Mulvaney

The TikTok star brought out all the glamour with a red lip and bold cat-eye.

Kim Petras and Sam Smith

The dynamic duo showed up together on the red carpet and they’ve truly never looked better. Gilbert Soliz used M.A.C. Cosmetics for Petras’ glam. Hairstylist and groomer Sienree Du prepped Sam Smith’s skin using Element Eight products and styled his hair with Kevin.Murphy.

Maren Morris

The country singer’s wet hair glam is a very cool departure from her usual look.

Charli D’Amelio

The TikToker turned heads with long sleek strands and dramatic black eyeliner (by Chanel!).

Taylor Swift

Tay’s classic red lips contrast gorgeously with her blue gown.
