Every Beauty Look on the Grammys Red Carpet That Made Us Say "Ooh"

We have a confession to make, and it might be a bit of a hot take. Our favorite part of award season is definitely the Grammy Awards. While shows like the Golden Globes and Academy Awards deliver in the fashion department, we find the actual show at each of these events to be a little too slow-paced for our taste. (Sorry.) The Grammy Awards, however, offer powerhouse performances and next-level beauty looks to boot. Much more our speed!

This year, the Grammys are taking place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles with performances from all our favorites, including Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish. While we're positively itching to see what everyone will wear, we're poised at the ready to swoon over all the out-of-this-world beauty looks. We're looking at you, Taylor Swift. What will she wear this time? Will she win Album of the Year and set a record for most wins in the category? We'll find out! In the meantime, scroll through all the most "ooh"- and "aah"-worthy looks we've clocked so far on the carpet.

Miss Swift arrived with a black-and-white 'fit that's most likely filled with Easter eggs (Reputation era, anyone?), but her signature red lip pairs perfectly with the look.

Paris Jackson opted for a more neutral look, but it's anything but boring. The subtle rosy shade on the lids and beige-pink lip go so well with black.
