Lizzo Was One Big Human Flower at the 2023 Grammy Awards — See Photos

By Nicola Dall'Asen

Simply put, no one does a red carpet like Lizzo. And her appearance at the 2023 Grammy Awards was just one of many examples. On the night of February 5, the singer shut down the red carpet in a full coral ensemble, including a cape covered head to toe in flowers. You'd think that a floor-length floral moment such as this would be enough, but that's just not how Lizzo rolls… obviously.

When Lizzo shed the cape's hood, she revealed a stunning set of wet curls with a single curlicue in the center of her forehead. Keeping with the theme, Lizzo's eye shadow, lips, and cheeks were an almost identical shade of orange to match her dress and nails, which were lengthy stilettos topped with three-dimensional roses just like those on her cape.

Here's a must-see close-up of Lizzo's wet hair moment, which came courtesy of the singer's right-hand hairstylist, Shelby Swain. Swain used Sebastian Professional Dark Oil shampoo and conditioner to prep Lizzo's hair before applying the brand's Dark Oil and Mousse Forte. "This preparation was the perfect foundation to create movement while maintaining luster," Swain said in a press release.

She then used Harry Josh Pro Tools' Cordless Flatiron "to create a free-flowing shape" and then created definition using the Ceramic Cordless Curling Wand. Swain placed "the sweet, finishing curl and sprayed it for a moldable finish and humidity protection." Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus Hairspray held everything in place.

Lizzo's makeup, by her makeup artist, Alexx Mayo, takes on the exact same coral as her gown and cape. The look is mostly the work of Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Dream Pop and Instant Eye Palette in Pillow Talk, but our favorite detail is probably the butterfly-shaped lashes, the result of Velour Lashes' Soulmate and Sinful falsie sets.

The pièce de resistance undoubtedly is the manicure — a long stiletto-shaped set covered in massive, three-dimensional roses to match those on her cape. Eri Ishizu, Lizzo's go-to nail artist, created the look using OPI products, primarily the brand's Nail Lacquer in Silicon Valley Girl.
