Celebrities such as Alicia Keys, Gabrielle Union, Rihanna, Ciara, Toni Braxton and more, have gathered in their finest garments to attend their rounds of pre-Grammy parties including Clive Davis’ annual spectacular. Check out the photos below:

Christina Millian rocked this green strapless pointed bust dress for the occasion, while Rihanna rocked a Bottega Veneta Resort 2012 strapless pantsuit ensemble made of a basket-print taupe/olive fabric. And hit the carpet with her blonde hair for the first time. In attendance at the annual Roc Nation pre-Grammy brunch .

Below is the Clive pre-grammy party photos:

Though they had just been informed with the horrific news of Whitney Houston's death, Clive Davis (shown above arriving with Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz) said Whitney would want the music to go on. So celebs hit his annual pre-Grammy dinner at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the same place where Whitney died in her 4th floor hotel room.

As you can see, Clive giving an heartfelt and difficult speech to the audience.

Im not going to lie, but brandy kinda looks LOST, GIRL WHATS GOING ON??!

Brandy and Monica, spotted together before performing thier new duet.

Brandy also posed with singer Jesse J.

The Birthday DIVA Kelly Rowland looked like she was paying homage to Diana Ross with her big hair and sequins. Absolutely love this gorgeous multi-blue gown on her.

Wiz, whats up with those three quarter PANTS?!!

Wiz Khalifa walked the red carpet with his girl none other than Amber Rose, who rocked this animal print gown with a revealing slit.{ROAR} And it looks like she was either extrememly upset by the Whitney news, or something else was going on.

Always one to pull out a show stopping number, Toni Braxton worked this black and silver gown with a long train. She's looking fab in her 40's.

Debra Lee (who wore an interesting fur trimmed skirt) arrived with her daughter Ava.

NeYo looked like a ultimate PIMP in his red velvet sports coat.

Legendary music icon Berry Gordy was in attendance.

Esperanza Spalding made an interesting effort with this number. Not sure what she was going for but.......does this dress look like it was made of recycled materials?

Serena Williams wore a simple emerald ombre strapless grown.

India.Arie rocked a white pantsuit.

Garcelle Beauvais looked stunning in this white gown which she paired with a pair of sparkling sandals. Going for the Grecian goddess look...

Sheila E does not seem to age. Looking fabulous Ms. Sheila.

Shaun Robinson showed off her slim & trim figure in this fitted black number.

Gayle King --sometimes, it's all about the accessories.

Jimmy Jam was there with his wife Lisa Harris.

And Gladys Knight also walked the carpet.

Miguel looked pretty dapper in his mustard colored suit.

And Ciara stayed close to LA Reid, whom she hopes will salvage her career. I'm actually loving the two toned bleached blonde and brown roots.

Gabby Union still pulled off this gown even with a serious mug! She said on the carpet she thought the Whitney news was all a hoax--much like the emotions she went through last week with the Eddie Murphy hoax.

Diana Ross (who was honored) brought out her entire family (sans Rhonda). Hey Tracee!

And she caught up with mentor Berry Gordy.

Diana Ross, who was also honored earlier in the day by the Grammys for her work as a solo artist and as one of The Supremes, posed with Serena and Kim K.

During his speech Clive said he told Whitney they were honoring Diana (shown with son Evan) at the party and he revealed that Whitney said, "Oh i love Diana!" And Diana blew a kis to Clive after eharing that. Sweet!

Here's some video of Diana talking about her honor and Whitney Houston:

Sanna Lathan wore this black cocktail dress with a plunging neckline and laced bodice detailing by Julian Joyce for Mandalay.

Gayle King later caught up with Serena near the dance floor.

Diddy also hung out with Toni Braxton.

Jennifer Hudson (who will be performing a tribute to Whitney at the Grammys) was spotted clapping it up during the show.

And Gladys chatted up friends.

Dr.Dre posed with the man of honor, Richard Branson.

Ben Vereen was spotted talking to legend Quincy Jones at the party. Such a somber light cast on such a fabulous event. Rihanna’s sexy jumpsuit and customized pair of Christian Louboutin’s stole the show at the Roc Nation Pre-GRAMMY Brunch! Catch the tributes and awards tonigt on The Grammys live on CBS.
