So. Many. Stunning. Beauty Looks at Tonight's Grammy Awards
Every awards show is fun, but we always look forward to the Grammys in particular. Why? Because as one of the biggest awards ceremonies of the year, celebs are known to pull out all the stops on the hair and makeup front. From as far back as the 2000 Grammys, when J.Lo bared a little (OK, a lot) of skin in that iconic green Versace dress, to just last year when Beyoncé hit the stage with a head full of drenched strands, if there's any award show to debut a wow-worthy beauty look, it's the Grammys.
After keeping a close watch on tonight's red carpet, it seems as though this year's Grammys has lived up to our expectations. Click through the slideshow above for pages of gorgeous hair and makeup looks to try now, and for your next formal affair. Yes, prom-goers, we're talking to you.

Photo: Getty Images4/16We just can’t get past Kat’s golden skin, but that super sleek topknot? Equally impressive.
Photo: Getty Images5/16Now this is the Katy Perry we know and love. We expected the singer to debut a bold hair color for her performance at last week’s Super Bowl, but it looks like she saved this lavender hue for another special occasion. Hey, better late than never, right?
Photo: Getty Images6/16What we love most about Taylor’s makeup look is that she didn’t go the match-matchy route, pairing her teal-colored dress with green liner. Instead, she rimmed her bottom lids with sparkly blue eyeliner. And her bouncy lob looks just as elegant with her stunning gown as it does with jeans when she gallivants around NYC.
Photo: Getty Images7/16We’re still trying to decide whether she’s wearing any makeup at all. If she is wearing foundation, we’re going to need to get our hands on that magic potion ASAP, because her skin looks radiant.
Photo: Getty Images8/16Anyone else surprised that the badass rapper chose to go so ladylike? Sure, her larger-than-life braided crown is a head turner, but her barely-there makeup keeps the look almost angelic.

But instead of going for a classic red lip, makeup artist Alison Christian swiped on Clinique’s coral-colored Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Heftiest Hibiscus. "We made sure to keep the whole makeup look relatively young because after all, she’s only 21!" said Christian.

Photo: Getty Images11/16Beyoncé gave her otherwise neutral makeup a playful flair with super sparkly gloss and frosty shadow across her upper and lower lids. We’re into the sophisticated-girly balance.
Photo: Getty Images12/16Another no-makeup makeup look on the red carpet, this time from Rihanna. It was a good idea for the songstress as the balloon-like dress made all the statement she needed tonight.
Photo: Getty Images13/16About Gaga’s silvery strands—girl looks good in gray! We’re into how she matched her hair to her metallic dress.
Photo: Getty Images14/16Remember that time we told you about Rita Ora’s new pixie cut? Well, here’s your official close-up. We’re so into her new, short asymmetrical ’do, but honestly the singer could probably impress us with just about anything she does to that hair of hers.
Photo: Getty Images15/16If you find yourself gazing into Anna’s eyes, we can bet it has to do with the perfect placement of Becca’s Eye Tint in Mauve Bronze rimmed along her bottom lids. It’s what celeb makeup artist Vanessa Scali calls "a little bit of rock-n-roll."
Photo: Getty Images16/16Be honest. If we didn’t just list her name above, would you have recognized this beauty? At first glance, we didn’t! It’s our cover girl Zendaya with a closely cropped, jet-black cut. So cool.
