The Grammy Awards are not for the faint of heart. For over 60 years, the music community has gathered together to dole out its highest honors—and turn up the wattage on the red carpet. And while major fashion moments that push the boundaries are given, stars are no less daring on the beauty front.

Tonight, Dua Lipa kicked things off, playing off her metallic silver Courreges gown with a set of cherry cola waves, gleaming violet-flecked eyes, and square-shaped milky nails. Echoing her edgy glamour was best R&B album winner Victoria Monét with her sleek updo, jet-black smoky eyes, and matte mocha lips. Also, a study in sleek glamour was "Vampire" singer Olivia Rodrigo with bombshell waves and a '90s lip and The Color Purple star Fantasia Barrino with eyes washed in the regal hue and her pixie swooped with glossy kiss curls.

The night's biggest risk-takers saw Miley Cyrus, who received six nominations for Endless Summer Vacation, nod to Barbarella (and her godmother Dolly Parton's penchant for big hair!) with a teased-to-the-high-heavens '80s-style bouffant. And then there was Doja Cat, up for Best Melodic Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, with a blood-red lip and her entire body covered in intricate custom tattoos.

Below, scroll through all the best beauty looks from the 2024 Grammys.
