Dua Lipa wows in red leather trench coat adorned with metallic gold orbs as she leads the stars at Clive Davis' iconic Pre-GRAMMY Gala

Dua Lipa stole the spotlight at Clive Davis' Pre-GRAMMY Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

The Houdini hitmaker, 28, looked like she stepped off the catwalk in a red leather trench coat adorned with large metallic gold orbs.

With a red-colored hairstyle to complement the ensemble, the singer posed like a pro at the legendary event hosted by Davis, which 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 biggest weekend, with a star-studded guest list and stellar performances.

The invitation-only soiree also featured A-listers such 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 talk about performances because it's all a surprise. But in the public that will be the case [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 year in a row. It's a unique audience.'

He added: “We're here for the party, so obviously I have a lot on my mind at the moment.

'People come from all over the world and we hope to meet and perhaps even exceed their expectations. That is a big challenge. I'm taking it seriously and I'm excited.”

The Pre-GRAMMY Gala, sponsored by Hilton, IBM and Mastercard, will honor Sony Music Publishing Chairman and CEO Jon Platt as the 2024 GRAMMY Salute To Industry Icons.

“Jon Platt is one of the music industry's most illustrious leaders and I am thrilled that he will receive this year's Salute to Industry Icons honor,” Davis said in a statement.

“Jon's longstanding, groundbreaking commitment to supporting songwriters across the music spectrum, as well as his staunch commitment to advocacy, diversity and equality in the music business, are exemplary,” he continued.

“Artists and the industry as a whole 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 continued commitment to equality, his commitment 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.”

During Platt's leadership, Sony Music Publishing has solidified its historic foundation while paving the way for future success.

This era has witnessed the creation of groundbreaking collaborations with iconic songwriters such as Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon and Ashley Gorley.

At the same time, the company has welcomed a new wave of musical prodigies, including Olivia Rodrigo, Jack Harlow, Latto, Anitta, Central Cee, Kane Brown and the Kid LAROI.

The bash will take place ahead of the 2024 Grammy Awards, which will honor music's brightest stars at a party held Feb. 4 at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles.

This year's celebration will be hosted by Trevor Noah and will air live at 8pm ET/5pm 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 closely behind with six nominations and will also compete against SZA in the three categories mentioned above.

The majority of Swift's nominations were for her critically acclaimed album Midnights and the single Anti-Hero, which earned some of the best reviews of her career.

That song is nominated for Record of the Year, a category that honors the artists who recorded the song and its producers and engineers, as well as the Song of the Year category, which honors songwriters. SZA's track Kill Bill has also been nominated in both categories.

Swift has already made history in the Album of the Year category and currently has three previous wins with music legends Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder.

However, she is now set to become the first person ever to win the category four times if Midnights emerges as the winner this year.

Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus also both have a chance to win six prizes. Eilish's nominations include Song and Record of the Year for her hit single from the Barbie soundtrack, What Was I Made For?

With her nominations, Cyrus has the chance to win her very first Grammy this year.

Her song Flowers is nominated for Record and Song of the Year, while her album Endless Summer Vacation is nominated for Album of the Year.

Olivia Rodrigo is another big name competing for a trophy.

Olivia – who has already won three Grammys – is 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 (comprised of Phoebe Bridges, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker), Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monáe and Victoria Monét, who was nominated for Best New Artist and received multiple awards for her album . Jaguar II and its singles.

In addition to the big names celebrating career achievements, the show will also feature a host of celebrities.

Christina Aguilera, Lenny Kravitz, Lionel Richie, Mark Ronson, Maluma, Meryl Steep, Samara Joy, Taylor Tomlinson and Oprah Winfrey have all been announced as presenters.

Audiences and viewers alike will also be treated to a series of incredible performances, with Billie Eilish, Billy Joel, Burna Boy, Dua Lipa, Luke Combs, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, Travis Scott and U2 on the bill.

Folk music icon Joni Mitchell will also perform for the first time at this year's Grammy Awards. She also has a chance to win a prize for the Best Folk Album category for Joni Mitchel AT Newport [Live].
