Justin Bieber is bringing power back to the facial hair impaired. 

At least that was the bold statement on the red carpet at the 58th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

The singer, who just won his first Grammy award for Best Dance Recording, sported some thinly grown scruff to accessorize his handsome white tuxedo. It signified that fuzzstaches, that is, peach fuzz mustaches, had their place in the grooming world.

Bieber wasn't alone in his fuzzstache. Charlie Puth, the 24-year old pop singer, sported his own nine o'clock shadow on the carpet as well, with his glittery suit. 

Then there were others, like Sam Smith, who surprised many with the debut of his own fully grown out beard. The singer, who's best known for his clean-shaven face, turned heads when he rocked his facial hair.

Another Sam, this one with the last name of Hunt, also had tongue wagging when he wore this pink Dolce and Gabbana suit but with some sexy scruff. It was the perfect amount of hair for that all-American rugged look.

Fuzzstache or fully grown, it's clear that if you got it (even if "it" isn't all that much), you gotta flaunt it.
