Kristy Sarah, formerly Kristy Scott, turned heads at the 2026 Grammy Awards, making her first public appearance since announcing her divorce from Desmond Scott.
The American influencer arrived solo, stepping onto the red carpet in a serene, elegant satin-brown gown designed by Nicole and Felicia Couture. With a deep plunging V neckline and a dramatic floor-length train, Kristy balanced high fashion with understated minimalism, skipping heavy jewelry and opting for soft, natural makeup. Her black-and-blonde-highlighted waves framed her face perfectly, accented with bronze eyeshadow and a nude lip, completing a polished, poised, and undeniably Grammy-ready look.
Kristy’s appearance, however, quickly became a hot topic online, and reactions were as mixed as they were immediate. While some praised her style and poise, others questioned her place at the music awards. Instagram user @igo_byjo wrote, “Kristy be eating DOWN a look!!!” Meanwhile, @_kash_honey echoed the sentiment, applauding the choice of dress. Fans also admired her confidence, with @simmi11er noting, “Kristy booked and busy and looking.”
On the flip side, critics were vocal about her Grammy attendance. @thegraceangel1 dismissed the influencer’s presence, stating, “I’m sorry, but influencers aren’t Grammy-worthy,” while @ghostkidtheproducer questioned, “And she at the Grammys, why? What song does she do? What song she write, what song she produce? Nothing?? Oh, ok, clout got it!!” Others weighed in on the trend of TikTok and social media stars appearing at major award shows, with @thatsjoci adding, “I don’t get why TikTok or Reels people need to be at everything. I wanna see some real talent. Wtf is 2026 fr.”
The timing of Kristy Scott’s public debut added an extra layer of attention. Her divorce from Desmond Scott shocked fans worldwide after it made headlines in late 2025. She filed after ten years of marriage, citing alleged cheating. While the news was a major talking point, Kristy has since broken her silence, expressing gratitude for the support she’s received and explaining that her content moving forward will be different from the past.
Desmond Scott also addressed the split, publicly apologizing to Kristy, their family, and their fans while affirming his commitment to co-parenting.
