It's time to press play on the 2026 Grammy Awards red carpet. As Marie Claire's senior fashion news editor, I can say it's bound to be one of the most exciting of the year.
Nominees from Sabrina Carpenter and Addison Rae to Olivia Dean and Chappell Roan are making their way Los Angeles's Crypto.com Arena for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. Before trophies are handed out for sought-after awards like Album of the Year and Record of the Year, I'm watching the red carpet to catch every fashion moment as it unfolds. (The Marie Claire beauty team is keeping tabs on all the hair, makeup, and nail art updates, too.) Music's current ruling class has a knack for matching their sound to a distinct aesthetic, whether it's Roan's drag-inspired vintage looks or Carpenter's modernized pin-up style. They're also more prone to take risks than their peers on the film and TV awards circuit—so daring cut-outs and naked dresses galore are definitely headed our way. (Alas, a Taylor Swift Grammys dress isn't in the cards this time around.)
