Grammys Red Carpet Show 2023 Preview

E! is once again providing four hours of live coverage ahead of the 2023 Grammy Awards on CBS. The “Countdown to the Red Carpet” special airs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern, followed by “Live from the Red Carpet” from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The countdown show will feature E!’s hosts, experts and guests providing a countdown of the stars who are appearing at the 2023 Grammys, then the red carpet special broadcasts live from the red carpet with all the fashion and celebrity interviews a viewer could want.

Laverne Cox returns in 2023 to host E!’s “Live From E!: Grammys” show and this year she welcomes a co-host in the form of radio personality and “Dancing With the Stars” champ Bobby Bones. Plus, style correspondent Zanna Roberts Rassi and pop culture expert Naz Perez will “lend their expertise to help break down the night’s most-nominated artists—from Beyoncé to Harry Styles to Adele and more—as well as the carpet’s best-dressed stars,” according to the E! press release.

It continues:

Before Live From E!, Zanna and Naz will join Grammy award-winning songwriter and artist, cast member of Bravo’s “SWV & XSCAPE: The Queens of R&B” and RHOA Kandi Burruss and E! News co-host Adrienne Bailon-Houghton for the “Live From E!: Countdown to the Grammys” pre-show at 4 p.m. Eastern, 1 p.m. Pacific on E!.

The fun doesn’t stop there. After this year’s Album of the Year and Best New Artist winners are crowned, tune in to “Live From E!: Grammys After Party” at 11:30 p.m. Eastern, 8:30 p.m. Pacific on E!. E! News co-host Justin Sylvester, Naz and Kandi will give their unfiltered takes on the night’s biggest wins, snubs and memorable moments.

In a new feature for Yahoo, makeup artists and hairstylists revealed how they get their celebrity clients ready for a night like the Grammy Awards.

“Meg [Thee Stallion] will keep inspiration photos on her phone for months and months,” said makeup artist Lauren Child. “She has a really great vision of what she wants. We work together. I’ll suggest blue eyeshadow, and she’ll say, ‘Maybe not all blue, but a little bit in my lower waterline.’”

Hairstylist Kiyah Wright added that the fashion dictates everything, telling Yahoo, “The clothes lead everything. Once the stylist sends photos over, we’ll begin thinking about hair and makeup.”

Wright added that Laverne Cox, who hosted E!’s red carpet show in 2022, will “plan out what she wants and send me photos. I love working with her because she’s really open to [trying new things].”

Makeup artist Jen Rose said that the preparations usually start around 10 a.m. Pacific time because of the time zone difference.

“When you see the carpet on TV, it feels like nighttime, but usually, most red carpets are around 2:30 or 3 in the afternoon [Pacific time],” said Rose, adding, “You have to have good energy. If you’re stressed out, you’ll make the other person stressed out. It’s more than just making someone look pretty and sending them out the door. The client will pick up on your energy before your talent.”

The 2023 Grammys Red Carpet special airs live on Sunday, February 5 at 6 p.m. Eastern time on E!.
