It's been three years since the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala has taken place in-person, and the enthusiasm emanating from dressed-up celebrities is evident.
This pre-Grammys tradition, also known as the Clive Party, first took place the night before music's biggest night in 1976, but has been on a pandemic hiatus since 2020, although it was held virtually in 2021.
The Grammys 2023 is set to take place on Sunday night at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
