Clive Davis Throws Epic Pre-Grammy Gala; Zayn Malik, Fetty Wap, Ciara & More Attend

Several celebrities traded in their Valentine's Day festivities for a night to party with Clive Davis at his epic pre-Grammy gala. The iconic music mogul threw his 40th annual bash at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday (Feb. 14), this year honoring legendary manager Irving Azoff. His star-studded guest list did not disappoint, including attendance from some of the entertainment industry's biggest names like Zayn Malik, Fetty Wap, Ciara, and more.

The 83-year-old Brooklyn native is widely known for playing a pivotal role in launching the careers of Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, Barry Manilow, Carlos Santana, Alicia Keys, and many more. Davis was surrounded by close celebrity friends and industry executives at his high-profile event. Whenever the host graced the podium, he had no problem acknowledging the sea of famous faces in the ballroom.

The night would not have been complete without notable performances. Beck hit the stage with surviving members of Nirvana, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, to honor both Kurt Cobain and David Bowie with their own special version of "The Man Who Sold the World" to kickoff the night. While Adam Lambert closed the party with Bleachers' frontman and Lena Dunham's boyfriend, Jack Antonoff, with a performance of "Lets Dance."

Check out what some of today's biggest celebrities wore to the party below and tune into the 2016 Grammy Awards, which is scheduled to take place later tonight (Monday, Feb. 15) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The ceremony will air at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
