It’s Grammys weekend in Los Angeles, which means parties, unforgettable moments, and celebrity style we live for. But this year’s festivities carry a bittersweet note as the city grapples with the devastating impact of the Los Angeles wildfires.
Still, in the face of tragedy, Black Hollywood and the entertainment industry’s biggest names, influencers, and power players are coming together to celebrate community and honor the Grammys and music’s best.

Black Hollywood Turns Out For Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammys Gala
Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammys gala was, as always, the place to be—an elite mix of music excellence, heartfelt moments, and all-out glamour. Clive and his team carefully curate the guest list yearly, making it the hottest ticket in town.
This year marked the 50th anniversary of the gala. Planners commemorated the milestone with a local twist—turning the lavish event into a fundraiser for wildfire relief. Celebrities showed up and showed out in support.
Cameras flashed as some of our faves, including Ciara, Alicia Keys, and Latto graced the red carpet. Halle Bailey continues to eat in her post-pregnancy era, rocking a figure-hugging black velvet dress with a plunging neckline. Muni Long served drama in a long-sleeve ruched red gown, proving that red is the IT GIRL go-to.
