The Grammys come and go once a year, but the styles stay forever. From Alix Earle’s classic, floor-length dress to Lana Del Ray’s black coquette couture, celebrities dressed to impress at this year's Grammys while representing their signature styles. But what sets them apart from the rest of the crowd? How do they achieve the flawless hair-makeup-outfit combo before hitting the red carpet? These are questions we all find ourselves asking, and ones I have the answers to!

‍

Gowns

‍Alix Earle

Fashion icon, TikTok influencer, and social media star Alix Earle dazzled us with her first red carpet walk at last week's Grammys. Known for her extravagant style, we were all pleasantly surprised by the simplicity and elegance of the floor-length gown she wore to the premiere. Her look, paired with low-hanging diamond earrings and strappy Jimmy Choo heels, serves as a reminder that sometimes, less is more when it comes to styling. A simple black dress and a pair of sparkly statement earrings are all you need to achieve that classy, minimalistic look for your next formal event or a night out on the town.

Taylor Swift

While she didn’t serve us her Reputation album, Taylor Swift undeniably served in her white, strapless Schiaparelli gown. This bold look, matched with a pair of over-the-elbow black gloves, resonates with her personality and hints at the unveiling of her new album, 'The Tortured Poets Department.' But how does one acquire such a striking yet modest look? Simply put, the power of monochrome can go a long way. Opting for a monochrome outfit, where the entire ensemble is composed of a single color, exudes a timeless and sophisticated look that leaves a lasting impression. Taylor Swift's choice of the dramatic gown, complemented by her iconic, bold lips, seamlessly blends the elegance of all eras throughout time (a hint at a new album, maybe?). Whether you’re dressing for a casual outing or a romantic date night with your significant other, consider experimenting with an all-black or all-white outfit paired with Taylor’s bold lip choice to achieve this timeless aesthetic.

Lana Del Ray

Lana Del Ray stands out from other celebrities, both on the red carpet and in her music, with her statement pieces and melancholic vocals. At the annual Grammy Awards, it was evident that she’s quick to keep up with the latest trends while staying true to her edgy personality in an all-black, coquette bow dress. Finding a style that resonates with you can be challenging, but Lana's fashion choices serve as inspiration. Take a page out of her book and add a bow or two (or three or four, in her case) to effortlessly elevate your outfit. After all, when it comes to bows, the more the merrier!

Accessories

‍Paris Hilton

Something as simple as a ring or as grand as a statement purse can elevate your style in more ways than one. Or, in Paris Hilton’s case, why not both? Sporting a statement purse and simple, diamond-drop earrings, Paris showcased how the right accessories can elevate any red-carpet look. Her style tells us that you can elevate your outfit by accessorizing it properly, whether you want to match the handbag to your style or step out of your comfort zone with some sparkling jewelry. Incorporating accessories, such as a simple necklace or dangling earrings, allows you to express your personality and reinvent your outfits, so step out of your comfort zone and define your personal style with accessories that speak to you!

Hairstyles

‍Miley Cyrus

Pop star and childhood icon Miley Cyrus not only impressed us with her Grammy-winning song, 'Flowers,' but also with her red-carpet look. Her gold Egyptian-styled dress and captivating performance left a lasting impression, but it was her hairstyle that truly tied the look together. The unruly, voluminous curls showcased her bold personality, complementing her five outfit changes throughout the night. While some may hesitate to go all-out with their outfit, hairstyle, or makeup, sometimes it's exactly what's needed to capture attention or express one's personality. The untamed, fearless hairstyle that would make Dolly Parton proud would be essential for a night out in the big city.

Makeup

‍Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo effortlessly blends Taylor Swift’s bold lip and Alix Earle’s natural makeup in her red carpet look. Once again, simple is more, and sometimes more is simple. Regardless of your ethnicity or hair color, a striking lip liner or daring eyeshadow can elevate your look. The next time you opt for a natural makeup look, consider adding a pop of color to your lips or a dramatic liner to your eyes to enhance the overall outfit.
