The Best Beauty Looks From the 2021 Grammy Awards 

Though much is unusual about this year’s Grammy Awards, awe-inspiring glam remains a constant. Sparkle and shine was practically a prerequisite for the artists’ outfits, and the best hair and makeup looks provided the perfect complement—or extended the idea—both on the red carpet and underneath the stage lights.

Megan Thee Stallion’s face-framing swirls accented her piece-y updo, while H.E.R. channeled the ’70s with her middle-parted onyx waves and purple and gold eyeshadow. Phoebe Bridgers’s Thom Browne skeleton gown was made all the more striking by the deep plum hue on her pout. Tuning in remotely, Cynthia Erivo glowed in a silver and gold ensemble that was only enhanced by her bleached brows, while Chloe Bailey of Chloe x Halle wore a half bantu-knot half curly ponytail. 

The performances of the evening saw Billie Eilish take her signature green and black strands to the next level with a bejeweled headpiece, and Dua Lipa wear fuschia eyeshadow in a continuation of her ever-switching sequined flamingo-pink fashion. And, of course, Lizzo brought the perfect touch of whimsy to her role as a presenter with a set of oversized hair clips.

Here, more of the best beauty looks from the 2021 Grammy Awards.
