Rolex Daytona “Big Red,” Stainless Steel, Black Index Dial, 37 mm

 

The 2026 Grammys, hosted at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, are one of the year’s biggest nights in music. This past Sunday, artists from across the country traveled to California’s celebrity hotspot to enjoy incredible performances and cheer on their fellow creators in one of the most prestigious ceremonies around. Big winners included Bad Bunny for album of the year, Billie Eilish and Finneas for song of the year, and Kendrick Lamar with SZA for record of the year. Olivia Dean also took home a Grammy for best new artist.

As ever, the night was an opportunity for celebrities to show off incredible fashion, and the red carpet was stacked with inspiring pieces. From Lady Gaga’s Black Swan-esque ensemble to Teyana Taylor’s nearly nude look, we were stunned by the diversity of haute couture outfits and memorable combinations that had photographers snapping picture after picture. Truly, the red carpet photos from that night do not disappoint.

Of course, we were particularly focused on the accessories that A-listers paired with their iconic ensembles and glittering accolades. There was no shortage of exquisite diamond jewelry, but the legendary timepieces gracing many wrists had us even more captivated. From Audemars Piguet to Hublot and from Cartier to Rolex, many of our favorite watch brands were on display throughout this night of musical revelry. If you want to evoke the timeless styles of your favorite performers, explore many of the very same watches available at Avi & Co. now.

 

The Best Fashion Moments at the 2026 Grammy Awards

Awards season is known for red carpet roundups for a reason. Stars turn heads in stunning outfits, highlighting the world’s finest designers and showcasing their signature styles. Sometimes, we see looks that complement the artist’s nominated work, and other times, styles seem to be suggestive of creative inspiration to come. No matter how you interpret these fashionable trappings, there were a few clear winners when it comes to Grammys style in 2026.

Sabrina Carpenter: In a stunning tiered dress that the New York Times described as “most prairie queen,” the pop artist departed from her usual lingerie looks. Still, her jeweled gown was translucent at times, lending an ethereal, floaty appearance to the suggestive singer.

Miley Cyrus: The former Disney Channel star opted for an edgy look in an elegant Celine duo composed of tapered pants and a boxy leather jacket. Her driving gloves, oversized brooches, and bold pointed heels completed her angular and mesmerizing appearance.

Olivia Dean: The Best New Artist Grammy winner drew attention in her Chanel ballgown. The black feathered top melted into a silky smooth ivory skirt, a stunning study in contrast. Dean was not the only artist who opted for feathers: Lady Gaga, who won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, was striking in a dramatic Matières Fécales feathered gown.

Pharrell Williams: As the head of menswear design at Louis Vuitton, it should come as no surprise that Williams opted for his own brand for the Grammys. He wore a powder-pink double breasted suit, matching Malice and Pusha T. Williams is also a known partner of Richard Mille.

There were endless incredible outfits at the 2026 Grammy awards, and as always, the looks were almost more interesting than the awards ceremony itself. That said, we cannot forget about the showstopping accessories that completed some excellent ensembles.

 

Our Favorite Luxury Watches at the 2026 Grammys

When awards season arrives, there is no end to the luxury timepieces that A-listers display on the red carpet. Though there were plenty of elite options to choose from at the Grammys, here are some of our favorite upscale timepieces that you can take home today from Avi & Co.

 

Wyclef Jean: Hublot Big Bang Unico

Haitian singer and rapper Wyclef Jean performed during the “In Memoriam” portion of the Grammys, which honors artists who have died in the past year. Jean is perhaps best known as a founding member of the Fugees, and he has also been featured on tracks with prominent Latin American voices like Shakira. Though he opted for a gold Rolex Submariner on the red carpet, he switched into a diamond-studded Hublot Big Bang Unico for his performance of “Killing Me Softly With His Song” in honor of the late Roberta Flack.

Wyclef Jean’s Hublot was far from the only piece from this brand that we noticed at this year’s Grammy Awards. Although Hublot is not normally considered one of the prominent big four watch brands that tend to dominate the horological world, the company has certainly gained a foothold with some of the century’s greatest musicians. Other A-listers wearing Hublot at the Grammys included John Legend and Miles Caton.

 

Alex Warren’s Openworked Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

While the “Ordinary” artist may have had some technical difficulties during his Grammys performance, everything went right with his outfit and his accompanying watch. Warren was one of many artists to choose Audemars Piguet for his big night, and he perfectly balanced avant garde design with timeless precision watchmaking in his choice of a blue ceramic Royal Oak. This watch’s openworked face lets the incredible artistry of the Swiss brand shine through, and the deep blue ceramic case and bracelet are modern and dashing.

Warren was far from the only Grammys attendee who picked an impeccable Royal Oak watch. J. Balvin showed off a diamond-studded Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra Thin in yellow gold, and Leon Thomas chose an openworked Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra Thin in 18K white gold. This revered watch brand is clearly a strong choice for the world’s top creative minds.

 

Skepta’s Rolex Sky-Dweller

The British grime emcee Skepta is also well-known across the Atlantic as a rapper, record producer, film director, fashion designer, and DJ. His wide set of talents has made him a standout face in the British music scene, and his fashion choices never disappoint. For the 2026 Grammys, he combined a well-tailored suit with wide lapels with his rose gold Sky-Dweller, a staple of Rolex’s premium professional lines. The Sky-Dweller showcases the Swiss brand’s iconic fluted bezel and memorable Oyster bracelet for a veritable picture of masculine elegance.

 

Terrace Martin’s Rolex Daytona Reference 6263

Musician, rapper, and singer Terrace Martin has been nominated for three Grammys throughout his career. He is a well-known saxophonist and a pioneer in the West Coast R&B and Soul genres. However, he might be best known for producing records for several prominent artists, including Busta Rhymes, Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, and Kendrick Lamar. In addition to his industry prominence, Martin always demonstrates incredible fashion sense at red carpet events, and the 2026 Grammys were no exception.

Martin opted for a vintage Rolex Daytona, specifically the reference 6263 “Big Red” edition. One of the most prized vintage Rolex models currently available on the secondary market, the reference 6263 is widely considered one of the “holy grails” of Rolex watch collecting. With its connection to the golden age of motorsport, its striking black and white dial, and its iconic stainless steel case, this timepiece is classic Rolex through and through. The signature “Big Red” Daytona text is positioned right above the 6 o’clock subdial for the chronograph function.

 

Honorable Mentions

There were too many excellent watches to count at this year’s Grammy Awards. While the four showcased above were some of our favorite finds, they are not the only ones that deserve your attention. Shaboozey’s Piaget has also received a lot of interest, as has Kendrick Lamar’s Cartier Tank Americaine. Pharrell Williams, true to his roots, showed off a unique quartz Richard Mille 74-02 with his unusual pink suit. Bad Bunny also opted for a vintage Cartier piece, and lesser known brands like Gerard Charles and Urban Jurgensen got their due as well. All this is to say, if you are looking for horological style icons, browsing red carpet photographs from the 2026 Grammys is sure to inspire.
