Clive Davis’ annual Pre-Grammy dinner was overflowing with celeb power last night. And we’ve got all the YBF folks who rolled through inside. Including Ciara holding hands with her boo Future, J-Hud, Ashanti, Nicole Richie, Tyra Banks, Ne-Yo and plenty more…
Jennifer Hudson threw on a pretty & flirty nude Maria Lucia Hohan dress and Giuseppe Zanotti sandals for the biggest Pre-Grammy event of them all. She posed it up with Mr. Clive himself on the red carpet of his & The Recording Academy’s 2013 Pre-GRAMMY Gala and Salute to Industry Icons honoring Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid at The Beverly Hilton Hotel.
She snapped a pic with Gayle King before taking the stage to perform with Gladys Knight.
Ciara made an entrance holding hands with her boo, rapper Future.
And she worked a sexy backless nude Halston gown with her blonde bob and dark lipstick. Sexy.
Brandy was all smiles posing on the carpet in her black & white printed bodycon dress and flashing her new engagement ring alongside her fiance Ryan.
Ashanti kept it fab in her usual look of a revealing, sexy gown. The tangerine dress had the ultra deep v neck cutout, as well as open sides.
Tyra Banks got her Barbie-look on.
The "Top Model" head honcho smized it up with a sharp blond bob, bangs, and her bangin’ curves in this strapless black dress.
Diddy galloped his way on the carpet in this tailored grey and black look with a bowtie. The man can dress. And if he’s serious about his girlfriend Cassie‘s "singing career", wouldn’t these types of events–or at least en event this weekend–be the perfect time to bring her around for networking & performances? Oh wells…
Jordin Sparks rocked a pretty look in a Roberto Cavalli ruched high slit deep teal gown, Giuseppe Zanotti heels and a McQueen clutch.
Yes Jill Scott! Our fave curvy vocal powerhouse put on her black lace overlay dress with cute heels.
And just when we were about to ask why Wiz Khalifa chose this striped blazer–with no shirt–to rock to the event….
Ne-Yo rocked the same damn one. With pretty much the same look. Plus a shirt.
Usher kicked it with a couple of his mentors in this business–Honoree L.A. Reid and Babyface.
And chatted up Diddy as well. How do we feel about this grey suit?
Akon rocked a flashy gold jacket for the event, of course.
Pharrell brought his fashion loving girlfriend, who rocked a chic striped longsleeved dress. Loving the sheen-topped suit and blue bowtie on P.
Nicole Richie rocked one of our fave looks–Tom Ford’s long sleeved snakeskin body hugging black dress, Louboutin pumps and her own Huse of Harlow clutch. Hot.
Janelle Monae switched things up…slightly…and added a cape and leather leggings to her look.
Lookin’ good Gladys.
Estelle wore another pretty look with gold geometric embellishments on her black mermaid style gown.
UK import Emeli Sande, who also performed at the event, showed off her drastic weight loss in a black pencil skirt and white sweater. She looked fab before and just as fab now.
Honoree L.A. Reid snapped a pic with wife Erica Reid.
Anthony Hamilton brought his wife Tarsha to the event. Liked her small ‘fro better.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend kept up their party rounds and rolled to the dinner party.
Magic Johnson and wife Cookie made their way out to support.
And Elle Varner ricked one of her best looks of the weekend–a button down long sleeved red dress paired with dark red lipstick. Sexy yet still bright enough for her love of color and prints.
And "Idol Judge" Randy Jackson kicked it with Ciara, Joan and Melissa Rivers, Clive and Ryan Seacrest. Fab times indeed.
