22 of the Best Instagrams From the 2016 Grammys
1/24Grammy time has come and gone once again, leaving us with a newfound appreciation for Lionel Richie and a reignited Kendrick Lamar obsession. The Grammys are usually a highlight of awards season since, from the guest list to the ensembles, they tend to be a bit more fun than your regular awards show. (Of course, we’re still mourning the absence of Nicki, Miley, and Rihanna, who cancelled last minute. At least we got a snippet of Beyoncé!) Here’s how some of your favorite stars prepped, preened, and partied at the awards.
2/24Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato Snapped a makeup-free selfie to remind us that she’s just as gorgeous without anything on her face. However, we were super-into the body glitter she wore when she killed it onstage during the Lionel Richie tribute. Like, that was probably one of the best parts of the whole show.
3/24Justin Bieber
Justin made sure his skin looked plump and dewy pre-carpet with a little spa action. We’ve all been there, Biebs.

And then suited up with his date, adorable little brother Jaxon. Awwwwwwww. (Bieber’s dad Jeremy snapped the pic, making it a family affair.)
5/24James Corden and Justin Bieber
James Corden stopped to pick up his copilot, Justin Bieber. (Oh, how we wish he would’ve picked up the 1D boys, too.)
6/24Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez
Taylor and her girls (including BFF Selena) were truly freaking out about their “Bad Blood” win. Don’t you think Taylor’s used to winning by now?
7/24Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez (again)
Tay took a post-carpet break to brag about her super-hot date, Selena. Is Calvin jealous? We totally were. They look like the prettiest girls in school.
8/24Ryan Seacrest and Tori Kelly
Everyone loves Best New Artist nominee Tori Kelly, even the king of all media himself.
9/24Jack Antonoff
Taylor’s collaborator and pal Jack Antonoff performed with her for the opening number “Out of the Woods.”
10/24Ellie Goulding
Tay’s “Bad Blood” costar Ellie Goulding looked absolutely killer in her Stella McCartney gown. (Get it? Killer? “Bad Blood?” OK, sorry.)
11/24Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande wore some very diva-worthy diamonds with her red Romona Keveza dress.
12/24DJ Khaled
Our favorite Snapchat guru, DJ Khaled, worked the red carpet for E! We’ve seen those snaps; we know he’s got just as much charisma as Ryan and Guiliana.
13/24Carrie Underwood
Even mega-stars like Carrie Underwood need to touch up their lip gloss every once in awhile.
14/24Kacey Musgraves
Is that Katy Perry? Nope, it’s Best Country Album nominee Kacey Musgraves in her stunning, jewel-toned Armani gown. Does she have cowboy boots underneath? Probably not.
15/24Zendaya
Zendaya’s suit-and-mullet combo was inspired by David Bowie. We think he’d be proud. (She even did her own makeup!)
16/24Lady Gaga
Another Bowie superfan, Lady Gaga, paid tribute to her hero with Bowie’s signature flame-orange hair and blue makeup. Are you over that performance yet? We missed you, Gaga.
17/24Bella Hadid and the Weeknd
Bella supported boyfriend (and two-time winner!) the Weeknd backstage after he performed.
18/24Adele
In case you didn’t know, Adele wore Givenchy to the Grammys. Head designer Riccardo Tisci was verrrrrrry excited to see the superstar in his clothes.
19/24Andra Day
Andra Day, who shared the stage with Ellie Goulding, felt “blessed” by her Grammy’s experience. (And so did we, TBH.)
20/24Luke Bryan
Luke Bryan gave the Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard a congratulatory hug backstage. Started as a mail carrier, now we here.
21/24Meghan Tranor
The star couldn't stop crying when she won her Grammy for Best New Artist...and neither could her dad...and neither could we.
22/24Hamilton
The cast of Hamilton was PSYCHED to win Best Musical Theater Album. But we mean…who else would’ve won that?
23/24Chrissy Teigen
A GLOWING Chrissy Teigen swapped out her white caped gown for a slightly less cumbersome red party dress. As the old song says, “After the show, it’s the after party!”
