The 2026 Grammys Red Carpet Set the Tone

The most striking and bold looks that defined the night at the Crypto.com Arena.

The Night When Fashion Was the Big Winner

Forget for a second about who won Album of the Year. At the Grammys, especially this 2026 edition, the real battle was fought long before the first note sounded inside the Crypto.com Arena. It was fought on the red carpet.

It was the definitive parade. The place where artists not only come to be heard, but to be seen. And boy did they succeed. The flashes did not stop firing, capturing every detail of looks that are already going around the world.

From Timeless Classic to Total Daring

The trend tonight was clear: there was not a single one. It was a festival of personality. We saw everything from pure and classic elegance, with silhouettes that paid tribute to old Hollywood, to proposals that completely broke any mold.

There was boldness in the form of impossible cuts and innovative fabrics. And yes, there was also that ‘wow’ factor, that touch that makes everyone in your group chat say ‘are you watching this?’ at the same time.

The most interesting thing is how these elections go beyond fashion. They are a statement, an extension of the art these musicians create. Each dress, each suit, tells a part of its story that night.

Here’s a look at some of the moments that defined that legendary red carpet. From the most refined glamor to the daring that we will all remember tomorrow.

Simon McBride, the Deep Purple guitarist who is not afraid of the past

Simon McBride, Deep Purple's new guitarist, faces the legacy with confidence and without distractions.

A historical weight

Simon McBride was not yet born when Deep Purple released “Hush” in 1968. Today, with 58 years of history on his shoulders, he is the newest member of the legendary rock band.

The musician joined in 2022 to replace Steve Morse. He knows that carrying the legacy of Richie Blackmore, original guitarist, is not easy. But he’s not worried.

“I knew I was going to have a lot of people saying things about me, but you just have to ignore it and move on,” McBride said.

Digital noise does not distract you. His focus is on enjoying the journey alongside Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice and Don Airey. Before being his band, Deep Purple was one of the groups that made him love rock.

“I don’t think about it. I’m very confident. I don’t care what they say,” he added.

Two albums in less than five years

McBride already participated in “=1”, the group’s twenty-third studio album. This Friday he will present “splat!”, his second album with the British. The experience seems almost unreal to him.

With determination, the new guitarist shows that the past does not define his present. Deep Purple is still rolling, and he’s along for the ride.

Damián Alcázar explores terror after a paranormal experience

Damián Alcázar remembers his encounter with spirits at the age of 5 and how that led him to accept a horror role.

Damián Alcázar enters the horror genre for the first time in his career. Although known for films such as Herod’s Law and Hell, he is now filming Sonata for a Dead Man in Panama, a suspense thriller. But before that, a personal experience marked his relationship with the supernatural.

A childhood memory that you will not forget

At the age of five, while a wedding was taking place in the neighborhood where he lived, he entered a bathroom and saw two elderly people sitting. “I left and then I heard the scream of the girl who was getting married saying that her deceased grandparents were there,” he says. “It didn’t scare me because I didn’t understand what had happened; I only saw two very clear people.”

Years later, he tried to contact a deceased woman he liked, but gave up: “I thought it was just getting involved with something else and I left it there.”

That feeling helped him consider Los huérfanos, a Colombian film about exorcisms. “I read the script and I was reluctant because it’s not my material, but it was well written. It’s a genre that has a lot of magic, let’s play,” he explains.

Among international projects

Currently, Alcázar is filming Sonata for a Dead Man in Panama, directed by Ignacio Salazar-Simpson, with María de Nati, Javier Godino and Salva Reina. About his character, he comments:

“He is a Mexican drug trafficker stuck in an apartment full of Spaniards and let’s say he is the most honest of all because he is authentic and faithful to his convictions.”

Carcoma just finished in Spain, a black comedy that opens doors in that market. After Panama, he will return to Mexico for a series. At the beginning of the year he was seen on television with El Mochaorejas, based on a kidnapper from the 90s.

Liv Kristine returns to Mexico with her Latin American tour

The Norwegian offered an intimate concert at the Multiforo Alicia as part of her Latin American tour.

Return to Mexico

Liv Kristine returned to the country last Saturday. The Norwegian singer performed at the Multiforo Alicia as part of her “Amour Vincit Omnia Over Latin America 2026” tour.

The former lead singer of Theater of Tragedy and Leaves’ Eyes is considered one of the most influential female voices in European metal. Their style defined the sound of gothic metal throughout the 1990s and 2000s, inspiring an entire generation of bands.

Spiritual vision

About her way of understanding life, Liv commented:

“My spiritual world is made up of several elements: I have Nordic/Viking roots, but also Christian and I believe that all religions and beliefs are different forms of manifestation of human desire when it comes to understanding our surroundings, our origin and our destiny.”

After leaving both bands, the artist continued her solo career. Their most recent albums, River of Diamonds (2023) and Amour Vincit Omnia (2025), maintain the essence of gothic and symphonic metal, but with a more mature and personal approach.

Sincere gratitude

During the show, Liv also remembered her group stages. He highlighted:

“I don’t want to sound ungrateful. For many years I was able to make a living from music, but the moment Theater of Tragedy started making money, there were outside people who started trying to influence us. The same thing happened with my solo career, but to a lesser extent, since I really wanted to do different things and, fortunately, people were very receptive.”

The evening brought together followers of gothic metal who sang classics and new songs. Liv Kristine shows that her voice continues to be a reference for the genre.
