@enews Sabrina Carpenter’s #GRAMMYs look is in our good graces. #AwardsSeason original sound - E! News
Sabrina Carpenter’s red carpet look at the 2025 Grammys featured a classic Old Hollywood vibe and her signature blonde, with stunning finger waves and bold makeup choices.
Hair: To achieve Sabrina's soft updo, start with damp hair and apply a leave-in conditioner to protect the hair and a volumising mousse to create structure. After buliding in volume through a blow dry, use a 1" curling iron to enhance curls, allow them too cool, and then finish with a light mist of hairspray for added hold and shine. Then, leaving tendrils out in the front to soften the faceframe, gently twist your hair up into a french twist (predicted to be one of the top styles of 2025) with a clip, bobby pins or hair sticks.
Makeup: For the makeup, Sabrina opted for a nude brown toned lined lip, which can be recreated using a long-lasting matte lipstick and lip pencil. Choose a classic tone that complements your skin tone and apply it evenly for a flawless finish. To enhance your eyes, go for winged eyeliner with a bold cat-eye effect. Finish with a hint of highlighter on the cheekbones for a radiant, glamorous look.
