Fans are always promised a full-glam moment when Lizzo is on the guest list, and the 2023 Grammys were no exception.
The “about Damn Time” singer stepped out on the carpet in a maximalist ensemble made up of a bright tangerine Dolce & Gabbana, Swarovski-trimmed dress layered underneath a floor-grazing Opera cape. She had numerous outfit changes throughout the night, wearing a black corseted dress for her performances of “about Damn Time” and “Special” and donning a stunning metallic number while accepting her award for best record of the year. But her wet-look side swept curls stayed in place throughout the entire evening, thanks to hairstylist Shelby Swain, who worked with the singer in bringing her Grammys look to life.
“Hair for the Grammys has one goal and one goal only, and that is to highlight and accentuateLizzo’s beauty, strength and versatility,” Swain tells PvNew. “My process for creating looks forLizzoare driven by creating work that fits her vibrance and profound impact. My vision is always to compliment her beauty and the overall image of style. Her hair is my canvas, I envision it and use mixed media to perfect and present a perfect art form.”

This year, Swain used Harry Josh Pro Tools to curl Lizzo’s hair, starting off with a flat iron to create sculpted waves and then using a curling wand to add definition.
“Creating and styling textured hair has its own set of rules,” Swain says. “I love working with products that allow for versatile styling and also keep the hair healthy.”
