The Eyewear of the 68th Grammy Awards

February 2, 2026

It was the 68th Grammy Awards night, returning once again to the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Across Sunday 1 February, more than 95 awards were handed out throughout the afternoon and evening, celebrating the very best in music across genres. The night delivered several standout moments, including wins for Billie Eilish and FINNEAS with Wildflower, Olivia Dean taking home Best New Artist, and Kendrick Lamar claiming Best Rap Album for GNX. The Grammys remain one of the most closely watched nights in the entertainment calendar; where music, culture, and style collide on a global stage.

While the awards honour artistic excellence, for us the Grammys are also a showcase of the season’s most striking eyewear moments. From bold photochromic lenses to statement silhouettes and future cult classics, sunglasses and optical frames punctuated the red carpet with confidence and personality.

Jamie Foxx, one of the most scene-stealing presences on the carpet and nominated for Best Comedy Album for What Had Happened Was…, wore black Tom Ford Ilias TF1154 01E sunglasses with yellow photochromic lenses.

Music or cinema, the red carpet is Miley Cyrus’ element. This year she opted for timeless black Celine Triomphe CL40194U 01A oval sunglasses.

Busta Rhymes arrived in a red velvet suit paired with gold Cartier Panthère CT0549S 004 rimless sunglasses with violet lenses. Bold and refined.

Joni Mitchell walked the arrivals in gold Dita Ravitte DTX140 01 cat-eye opticals, a discontinued colourway, though rose gold and silver version remains in stock.

Before later switching to gold and tortoiseshell Dita Perplexer DTS 405 02 sunglasses as she accepted Best Historical Album for Joni Mitchell Archives – Volume 4: The Asylum Years 1976–1980.

Diane Warren, nominated for Best Music Film for Relentless, embraced bold glamour in Balmain B-V BPS-121A, a style now discontinued.

We loved the coordinated mauve-suit moment from Malice and Pusha T of Clipse alongside Pharrell Williams, nominated for Album of the Year for Let God Sort ’Em Out, with Malice and Pharrell both wearing Louis Vuitton Heritage Square sunglasses.

Actor Miles Caton from Sinners, whose composer Ludwig Göransson earned two nominations for Best Song Written for Visual Media and Best Instrumental Composition, wore transparent Louis Vuitton Frog Pilot frames.
