Mariah Carey dazzled upon her arrival at Clive Davis‘ star-studded Pre-Grammy Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The hitmaker, 54 — who is newly single — flaunted her enviable curves in a risqué silver sequin gown.
The low-cut frock had large cutouts on the torso and a glamorous mermaid-style skirt.
Mariah’s honey-toned hair cascaded down her chest in curls and she was decked out in jewels.
The Emotions singer rocked her go-to sparkly brown eyeshadow and a glossy nude lip for the occasion in LA.
Though she skipped the red carpet, Mariah was pictured having a blast inside of The Beverly Hilton.
The mother-of-two spent some quality time with fellow musicians Summer Walker and Monica.
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 passion at the helm.’
Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. added in a statement: ‘One of the most influential figures in the industry, Jon has consistently set the bar for leadership in music.
‘His ongoing commitment to equity, his dedication to quality, and his advocacy for artists across all crafts and genres have been an inspiration to music leaders everywhere. We look forward to an incredible evening dedicated to honoring his incredible impact.’
Throughout Platt’s leadership, Sony Music Publishing has fortified its historical foundation while also paving the way for future success.
This era has witnessed the establishment of groundbreaking collaborations with iconic songwriters such as Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, and Ashley Gorley.
Simultaneously, the company has welcomed a new wave of musical prodigies into its fold, including Olivia Rodrigo, Jack Harlow, Latto, Anitta, Central Cee, Kane Brown, and the Kid LAROI.
The bash arrives ahead of the 2024 Grammy Awards, which will be honoring music’s brightest stars in a celebration held at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles on February 4.
Hosted by Trevor Noah, this year’s celebration will air live at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and its streaming service Paramount+.
This year SZA tops the nominations with a total of nine nods, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song Of The Year.
Taylor Swift follows close behind with six nominations, and will also be competing against SZA in the three aforementioned categories. Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus are also both up for six awards.
