Everyone Is Talking About Sabrina Carpenter and Margaret Qualley After Grammys Afterparty Moment

The Grammy Awards wrapped up on February 1 in Los Angeles, and while the ceremony made history, the party moments afterward were just as memorable. The 68th Grammys delivered both big wins and viral fun.

Bad Bunny had one of the biggest nights. His album Debí Tirar Más Fotos won Album of the Year, making history as the first all-Spanish-language project to take home the top prize. Kendrick Lamar also walked away a major winner. His song Luther with SZA earned Record of the Year, and during his speech, he paid tribute to Luther Vandross while becoming the most-awarded rapper in Grammy history.

Once the awards ended, celebrities headed out to afterparties across the city. That is where one of the most talked-about moments happened. Sabrina Carpenter and Margaret Qualley were spotted together inside a photo booth, clearly having a great time.

Photos that later appeared on social media showed the two laughing, pulling silly faces, and posing with a bright lipstick kiss mark. Fans quickly shared the pictures, calling the moment fun, carefree, and very on brand for both stars.

Sabrina Carpenter had already been everywhere that night. She walked the red carpet in a sparkling Valentino gown created by Alessandro Michele. The dress had a fitted shape and a sheer cape that gave off old Hollywood vibes with a modern edge.

Carpenter went into the night with six nominations tied to her album Man’s Best Friend and her hit song Manchild. While she did not walk away with the top awards, many fans and critics agreed the night confirmed her place among pop’s biggest names.

Margaret Qualley matched that same playful energy at the afterparty. Known for her bold fashion choices and confident style, she seemed more focused on enjoying the night with friends than making headlines, even though that is exactly what happened.

The Grammy buzz did not slow things down for either star. According to tour announcements, Carpenter is now gearing up for a busy few months on the road. She is set to headline festivals in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil before returning to the US for a major performance at Coachella in April.

Qualley also has a packed schedule ahead. She will appear with Glen Powell in the dark comedy thriller How to Make a Killing, which is set for release later this month. She is also rumored to be in talks to star in a new take on the cult horror film Possession, directed by Parker Finn.

Between historic wins, big fashion moments, and viral afterparty photos, this year’s Grammys gave fans plenty to talk about long after the music stopped. Whether people remember the trophies or the photo booth fun may depend on what they love most about awards season.
