The Grammys red carpet is the perfect place to parade dramatic makeup and elegant updos. And while we love to stop and stare at all the bold beauty choices [1] our favorite stars make, Adele made her return to the Grammys and did the exact opposite.

The queen graced the stage and red carpet with a simple hair and makeup look that stood out among her fellow performers, proving that less is definitely more. Adele's freshly chopped lob [2] was styled bone-straight but slightly teased and sprayed to add effortless bedhead texture. Her signature cat eye [3], created using Giorgio Armani Liquid Maestro Liquid Liner [4] ($36), was perfectly paired with peach-hued Giorgio Armani Maestro Fushion Blush in #300 [5] ($52) to contour her cheeks and L'Oreal Paris Infalliable Pro-Matte Gloss in Bare Attraction [6] ($10) to enhance her pout.

Adele's classic beauty look [7] is sultry enough to copy for a date [8], but can easily be transformed into daytime glam for the office. She's proof that once you find a beauty style that works, you can never go wrong when you stick to it. Keep on reading to see more shots of her stunning look.
