Dua Lipa flaunted her edgy style as she arrived at Clive Davis’ iconic Pre-Grammy Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The singer, 28 — whose new movie is predicted to be a box office bomb – hit the event’s step-and-repeat pH๏τo op in an oversized red leather trench coat.
Belted at the waist, Dua’s eye-catching outerwear was adorned with metallic gold globes.
Her burgundy tresses were tucked into her coat collar and matched the color of her baggy trousers.
She kept her makeup natural by opting for a rosy blush, a ɴuᴅᴇ lipstick and a few coats of mascara.
Clive Davis’ Pre-GRAMMY Gala has taken place every year since 1976 on the night before the annual Grammy Awards.
It has become a cultural icon and a crown jewel of the music industry’s most important weekend, with a star-studded guest list and stellar performances remembered.
The invitation-only soiree also featured such A-listers as Paris Hilton, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Julia Garner and the members of Green Day.
Davis opened up about the legendary soiree during an interview with Variety on Thursday.
‘We don’t discuss performances because the whole thing is a surprise. But in the audience will be [Motown founder] Berry Gordy and Diana Ross and Jay-Z and Beyonce and Bon Jovi, and newer artists will be there, like SZA, Ice Spice, Noah Kahan and [basketball great] Scottie Pippen and [tennis superstars] Martina Navratilova and Serena Williams.
‘I think it will be Nancy Pelosi’s 24th or 25th consecutive year. It’s a unique audience.’
He added: ‘We’re here for the party, so obviously, there’s so much on my mind right now.
‘People are flying in from all over the world and we’re hoping to meet and perhaps exceed their expectations. That’s a big challenge. I take it seriously, and I’m excited.’
Sponsored by Hilton, IBM and Mastercard, the Pre-GRAMMY Gala will honor Sony Music Publishing Chairman and CEO Jon Platt as the 2024 GRAMMY Salute To Industry Icons honoree.
‘Jon Platt is one of the music industry’s most illustrious leaders and I am thrilled that he will be this year’s Salute to Industry Icons honoree,’ Davis said in a statement.
‘Jon’s longtime trailblazing commitment to supporting songwriters across the music spectrum as well as his staunch dedication to advocacy, diversity and equality in the music business are exemplary,’ he continued.
‘Artists and the industry at large are fortunate to have his insight and pᴀssion at the helm.’
Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus are also both up for six awards. Eilish’s nominations include Song and Record of the Year for her hit single from the Barbie soundtrack, What Was I Made For?
Cyrus has the chance to win her first ever Grammy this year with her nominations.
Her track Flowers is up for Record and Song of the Year, while her album Endless Summer Vacation has been nominated for Album of the Year.
Olivia Rodrigo is another major name in compeтιтion for a trophy.
Olivia – who has already won three Grammys – has been nominated for six awards this year, including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Song Of The Year.
Other major nominees include jazz crossover artist Jon Batiste, the trio Boygenius (made up of Phoebe Bridges, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker), Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monáe and Victoria Monét, who was nominated for Best New Artist and multiple awards for her album Jaguar II and its singles.
In addition to the big names celebrating career achievements, a host of celebrities are set to be presenting at the show.
Christina Aguilera, Lenny Kravitz, Lionel Richie, Mark Ronson, Maluma, Meryl Steep, Samara Joy, Taylor Tomlinson, and Oprah Winfrey have all been announced as presenters.
Audience members and viewers alike will also be treated to an array of incredible performances, with Billie Eilish, Billy Joel, Burna Boy, Dua Lipa, Luke Combs, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, Travis Scott, and U2 slated to perform.
Folk music icon Joni Mitchell will also be performing for the first time ever at the Grammy awards this year. She too is up for an award for Best Folk Album Category for Joni Mitchel AT Newport [Live].
