There’s one Grammys 2026 trend you might not have noticed at first glance: freckles. However, if you look more closely, you’ll see that all of the gorgeous freckles and beauty marks are still visible despite the red carpet’s sparkle and glamour.
Makeup styles that showcase freckles aren’t something wholly new, but like other trends, they have cycled in and out of mainstream wear. Over the previous few years, glass skin and cloud skin become focueses. Now that self-expression is hitting the forefront of beauty again, embracing your features or experimenting with artificial freckles fits right in with the current trends.
It’s surely on vogue at the Grammys. Many celebs chose to flaunt their freckles with barely-there foundation finishes. Billie Eilish opted for a very simple style, highlighting her freckles with a hint of warm blush, smudged lips, and a short, thin winged eyeliner. Sabrina Carpenter adopted a similar look, using a matching blush that ended exactly where her freckles appear, a dark pink lip, and only white highlighter in the inner corners of her eyes.
Olivia Dean opted for a dark lip that made her freckles pop. For a considerable amount of time, Lola Young has emphasized her freckles, incorporating them into her unique style.
Daniela, a member of KATSEYE, frequently flaunts her freckles, like she did today at the Grammy Awards. Lara, a groupmate, likewise makes sure to wear her beauty marks on the big night.
This pattern has been developing for a while. Mckenna Grace wore these to the Critics Choice Awards to kick off the year. But even before then, we saw that it was one of the most popular upcoming themes in beauty, supported by celebrities like Manon from KATSEYE.
