The 68th GRAMMY Awards, held on February 1, 2026, showcased music’s elite in an evening of glamour and style. Attendees made their way down the red carpet donning striking outfits, with hairstyles that complemented their fashion choices.
Sabrina Carpenter, a six-time nominee, stood out in a custom Valentino gown paired with an airy updo crafted by celebrity hairstylist Evanie Frausto. “Sabrina was my muse,” Frausto said, explaining the goal was to achieve a soft, natural look that showcased Carpenter’s elegant capelet.
Chappell Roan dazzled in a sheer maroon gown, where waist-length curls adorned with crimped pieces and fishtail braids added dimension to her signature red locks.
Tyla also embraced soft romanticism, opting for a messy high ponytail that elegantly framed her face, epitomizing a carefree chic aesthetic that perfectly matched her beige Dsquared2 slip dress.
Kelsea Ballerini’s sleek updo, inspired by her green and gold beaded Etro gown, featured a looped style at the back. Stylist Chris Appleton shared, “Snatched and sculpted,” emphasizing how the dress’s pattern influenced the hair design.
Kehlani brought laid-back elegance with mermaid-like waves cascading down her back, highlighting the allure of her sheer black beaded halter dress. Her stylist JStayReady noted, “A little texture and scalp for my 2 x Grammy award-winning little sister.”
Girl group Katseye showcased their individuality with coordinated long hairstyles ranging from soft curls to sleek straight looks, demonstrating the versatility of their custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin dresses.
In another striking appearance, Karol G embraced beachy waves that complemented her tousled blonde locks, enhancing her sun-kissed look against the backdrop of her sheer lace Paolo Sebastian gown.
As stars from various genres mingled at one of music’s most prestigious events, their hairstyles reflected a beautiful blend of creativity and personal expression, adding a distinct layer to the GRAMMYs’ iconic fashion legacy.
