Beyoncé and JAY-Z made a stunning appearance at the annual Roc Nation brunch in Los Angeles on Saturday. The singer and rapper were photographed arriving at the event — hosted by JAY's entertainment company — while smiling and holding hands. Bey stunted in a colorful, structured Balmain dress while JAY rocked a light blue suit. They also hit the dance floor and socialized with other attendees, including Khalid, Normani, DJ Khaled, Sean "Diddy" Combs, and Ellen Pompeo. Other stars such as Joe Jonas, Jesse Williams, Janelle Monáe, and Big Sean also showed up at the get-together. The Roc Nation celebration came just a day before the Grammys. It's still unclear whether or not the iconic duo will make an appearance at the major music event, especially since they have a sort of strained relationship with the show. Bey and JAY have been snubbed by multiple Grammy Awards over the years, which they addressed in their 2018 hit "APESH*T" with the lyric, "Tell the Grammys f*ck that 0 for 8 sh*t." Still, they're up for three Grammys this year: best urban contemporary album for Everything Is Love, best R&B performance for their song "Summer," and best music video for "APESH*T." It would definitely be a pleasant surprise to see Beyoncé and JAY-Z at the Grammys, but we're not getting our hopes up. Instead, we'll just enjoy all of the fun photos of them at their star-studded soirée.<doc-sep>“Look at all this black excellence.” That overheard remark by an invited guest indeed summed up the chill yet celebratory vibe at Roc Nation’s The Brunch on Saturday (Feb. 9). The coveted Grammy Week soiree not only boasted power couple Beyonce and Roc Nation founder JAY-Z (who wore a bespoke two-piece FRÈRE suit). It also drew others at the top of their respective business and creative pursuits including Sean “Diddy” Combs, Nipsey Hussle, Meek Mill, Janelle Monae, Miguel, Big Sean, Usher, Normani, Epic Records president Sylvia Rhone, Roc Nation CEO Jay Brown, Atlantic’s president of black music Michael Kyser, iHeart Media executive vp of urban/hip-hop programming strategy Doc Wynter and actor/comedian Kevin Hart. Late-morning rain threatened to dampen the party atmosphere as guests huddled under a white tent in a UCLA parking lot while awaiting shuttles to an undisclosed location. As black vans wound their way up the hills far above Sunset Boulevard, dark clouds gave way to bright sunshine as guests disembarked in front of a private residence whose long entryway was bordered on either side by white draped curtains. Above were hung small blue and yellow umbrellas while columns on either side of the doorway were covered in yellow roses.<doc-sep>Beyoncé has given fans an inside look at this weekend's pre-Grammys Roc Nation soiree, the Brunch, with several photos and a video from the event posted on Instagram. The pictures show off Beyoncé and JAY-Z's coordinating, spring-ready apparel -- an architectural Balmain minidress in pastels for her and a bespoke, baby blue FRÈRE suit for him -- and offer a glimpse at the couple's playful side. In one shot, the two lean in for a kiss. A video montage featuring scenes from the day, backed by the Carters' "Friends," shows a good time was had by all at the Brunch.<doc-sep>The 61st annual Grammy Awards ceremony is tapped to be the year’s biggest night in music. Cardi B, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Shawn Mendes, Travis Scott and more artists are scheduled to perform. Anna Kendrick, John Mayer, Nina Dobrev, Wilmer Valderrama, Meghan Trainor and more stars are set to present. Talk about star-studded! With 15-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys at the helm, hosting all of the festivities, audiences are definitely in for a treat when they tune in on Sunday, February 10. “I know what it feels like to be on that stage, and I’m going to bring that vibe and energy,” Keys, 38, said in a press release. “I’m so excited to be the master of ceremonies on the biggest night in music and celebrate the creativity, power and, magic. I’m especially excited for all the incredible women nominated this year! It’s going ‘UP’ on February 10!” President/CEO of the Recording Academy Neil Portnow echoed the “Girl on Fire” singer’s excitement, saying via the same press release, “As an artist who speaks to the power of music, we are thrilled to have her on board for what’s sure to be an unforgettable Grammy Awards.” As always before the televised event begins, though, there are other special music events that go down: parties. Between Clive Davis‘ pre-Grammys gala and Roc Nation’s pre-Grammys brunch, celebrities across all different fields were pictured celebrating before the affair. Some of the biggest stars in music, as well as TV, sports and even politics, descended upon the Los Angeles area on Saturday, February 9, including Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, Beyoncé and Jay-Z and the legendary Barbra Streisand. The 2019 Grammys will broadcast live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET. Until then, scroll down to see which stars hit up the parties before the show!<doc-sep>
Beyoncé and JAY-Z are the definition of #couplegoals. The "Love on Top" songstress and her rapper husband arrived in color coordinated pastel looks to the 2019 Roc Nation "THE BRUNCH" pre-GRAMMYs party in Los Angeles on Saturday. Bey, 37, showed off her curves in a white, asymmetrical mini dress that featured splashes of pastel hues and a dramatic sleeve. She completed the look with clear single-strap heels, light blue sunglasses, diamond hoop earrings, and her honey blonde locks in waves and parted down the middle. JAY, on his end, looked equally as fabulous in a custom FRÈRE baby blue double-breasted suit, with a white tee and sneakers. He finished his look by adding a navy printed scarf around his head and dark Ray Ban Round-Fleck sunglasses. Naturally, all eyes were on the power couple as they arrived to the party.
