Make way for a black chick who rocks!
R&B songstress and nominee Jazmine Sullivan wowed us all in this black glittery Michael Costello gown that hugged her curves like a glove. Chick is definitely serving up some epic slayage and elegance. The “10 Seconds” singer was up for three awards tonight, but unfortunately didn’t take home a statue.
Well here’s a surprise. Grammy Award winning artist Mya popped up on the red carpet looking beautiful as always. Nice to see her on the scene. Just yesterday, the R&B songbird dropped a new musical offering called Smooth Jones. You can cop it on Apple Music/iTunes.
"Empire" star/singer Serayah was a total knock out showing just enough skin in a lavender custom Vera Wang gown with a train which she paired with Stuart Weitzman heels and an Oroton clutch.
The asymmetrical bob and vamp lip color perfectly tops off her look.
Andra Day rocked quite the interesting look made up of satin and fur and created by Michael Costello.
R&B Diva Faith Evans served vintage glam in a pearl white silk gown topping her look off with a black fur stole.
Former reality star and Hip Hop royalty Vanessa Simmons, who co-hosted the E! red carpet show, looked radiant in a yellow high slit gown with a split. The fab mom pulled off the classy look effortlessly.

He was in the running for the Song of the Year category for his track “See You Again” featuring Charlie Puth, but unfortunately lost to Ed Sheran and Amy Wadge for their track “Thinking Out Loud.”
The fineness that is Common took a break from filming his new film to hit up the Grammy Awards. The Oscar winner was nominated for the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, but lost to Kendrick Lamar.

Common was also tapped to present during the ceremony.
Daddy-daughter night! Tyrese brought his beautiful daughter Shayla Bishop along as his date for the evening. She’s getting so big!

"Classic Man" Jidenna hit the carpet in an electric blue suit as he was nominated for a Grammy this year which is a major feat being that he hasn't even released an album yet. Unfortunately for him, he didn't take home the gold trophy after Kendrick Lamar swept up the award.
And his Wondaland boss Janelle Monae looked gorgeous in Jean Paul Gaultier.
Yes Zendaya for this androgynous suited and booted look from DSquared!

The YBF couples hitting the carpet....
Married couple John Legend and Chrissy Tegien, rocking a Yousef Aljasmi caped dress, were all smiles making their way down the carpet as John rubbed his wifey’s growing belly. The couple is expecting a baby girl soon and couldn’t be happier. John nabbed the Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
While on the carpet, the happy couple revealed their L.A. house they just moved in is still being renovated and they are nowhere near ready for their baby girl’s arrival. The R&B crooner then disclosed some parental advice given to him by President Barack Obama: Be prepared to be wrapped around his daughter’s little finger once she’s born. Aww.
Grammy Award winning superproducer Pharrell Williams is looking …different these days. Must be the blonde hair. He brought his wife Helen along as his date for the evening. And they celebrated P’s win in the Best Rap Song category for his feature on Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright.”
Looks like those break up rumors are false. R&B singer The Weeknd and his model girlfriend Gigi Hadid put on a coupledom front at the Grammys. You’ll recall, there were rumors that the two had called it quits.
