On Feb. 2, artists and celebrities showed out in their Sunday best for the 2025 Grammy Awards. Among the stars celebrating Hollywood’s biggest night in music were nominees like Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Gracie Abrams, Willow Smith, and Sabrina Carpenter.

The Grammys red carpet is always a spectacle of glitz and glamour, and this year was no exception. A-listers have some of the best makeup artists and hairstylists at their disposal — which means the serves come aplenty.

Whatever the case, it’s always an exciting time for viewers as they take note of potential inspo.

Of course, with a new year comes the start of new trends beginning to bubble up — and what better way to debut some fresh and interesting choices than at the Grammys?

Below, find the best hair and makeup looks from the evening that are sure to make it onto your glam mood board.

Smith’s glam and hair combo is truly delicious. Her dark liner and gloss (the Rouge Dior Contour in #510 Wild Brown and Dior Addict Lip Glow in #020 Mahogany) created the ideal contrast for her lips. Plus, her middle-parted Afro looked immensely chic.

Cowboy Carter skipped the carpet and made a fashionably late entrance just in time to receive the award for Best Country Album, where she looked absolutely next-level. Her long hair reached down to her waist, which gave the most fab amount of drama and allure. As for glam? She leaned into neutral bronzed hues with a glittery shadow placed on her lids.
