Buckle up, for music’s biggest night is officially upon us. Hot on the heels of the recent Golden Globes comes the buzzy arrival of the 2026 Grammy Awards. Now in its 68th iteration, the ceremony commemorates the artistic and technical achievements showcased in the music world over the past year, with the industry’s latest and greatest in attendance. This year, Trevor Noah will host the event, for the sixth consecutive year, which celebrates nominees including Lola Young, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, and more. The latter leads the pack with nine nods, while Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff, and Cirkut follow him closely with seven apiece. Whilst all eyes were certainly on the big four categories, the race for Best New Artist proved to be a contest of its own, as breakout stars Addison Rae, Katseye, Lola Young, and Olivia Dean were all in the running—before the latter deservingly swooped the win.
And that’s far from the only showdown at this awards show. The red carpet, too, was a battleground in itself, with our favourite stars putting their best faces forward. Extraordinary attention-grabbing hairstyles reigned supreme with several standout moments: Blackpink‘s Rosé gave her long, blonde tresses a good chop, while Grammy’s darling Lady Gaga served ice queen energy in her bleach-blonde hair with a matching brow. Across the board, though, many of tonight’s stars jumped on the clean girl bandwagon, with the likes of Hailey Bieber, Zara Larsson, and Audrey Nuna sporting a radiant au naturel glow.
So, without further ado, prep your peepers for Vogue Singapore’s curation of the best beauty looks from the 2026 Grammy Awards below.
1 / 10
Tyla
You know what they say about the height of the hair. South African singer Tyla is all about the gravity-defying ponytail featuring a deep side part and tiny braids throughout. A classic nude matte lip and lightly winged eye complete the look.
2 / 10
Zara Larsson
Channeling her inner mermaid, the Lush Life singer proves some long, beachy waves can never go out of style on a red carpet.
3 / 10
Rosé
Blackpink’s Rosé graced the red carpet with a cut that speaks volumes—literally. Her curly bob was accompanied by softly diffused rosy-pink lips allowed her natural beauty to truly shine.
4 / 10
Sabrina Carpenter
It’s old-school Hollywood glamour at its finest. Then again, we didn’t expect any less from the ‘Espresso’ songstress who wore her famous blonde locks in a paired-back ponytail along with romantic face-framing wisps. Completing the look with her signature pop of blush.

Laufey
2o16 is the new 2026, ladies and gentlemen. With a sheen of iridescent lilac on her lids, the two-time Grammy winner gives us a masterclass in how to pull off a bold eye look while still looking soft and ethereal.

Lara Raj of Katseye
Lara Raj serves full Indian baddie vibes with her razor-sharp winged liner, fiercely kohled eyes, and a killer maang tikka (headgear) to tie the entire look together.
7 / 10
Lady Gaga
No one does red carpet glamour quite like Mother Monster herself. Effortlessly pulling off bleach-blonde hair with a matching brow, Gaga went full ice queen, her beauty notes a direct contrast to her custom Matières Fécales black feather gown.
8 / 10
Doechii
Never been one to play by the rules, Doechii’s fountain of voluminous curls set in a towering ponytail undoubtedly steals the show. Paired with her delectably toasty make-up full of warm, brown, and bronzed tones, a fitting finish to her Roberto Cavalli gown, might we add.
9 / 10
Chappell Roan
Having made goth glam her red-carpet staple, Chappell Roan paired her sultry, smoky eyes with an intense peach flush. Topped off with her signature long wavy, fiery tresses and a brick coloured lip, it’s the prosthetics around her nipples and body tattoos which really make a mark.
10 / 10
Teyana Taylor
Someone wise once said, never underestimate the transformative power of a pixie cut—Taylor is living proof. With not a hair out of place for this slicked-back do and luminous body sheen, she looks ready to take on the world.
