    Opting for a glittering silver gown with a plunging neckline, Dua ensured she caught the eye while posing for photos before making her way inside.

    The singer was a vision as the long-sleeve gown which hugged her curves flawlessly.

    She didn't spare the glamour for one of the glitziest nights of the year, adding an eye-catching diamond choker necklace.

    Dua teamed the stunning jewellery piece with a matching hand-wrap diamond bracelet, which was mostly covered by her flared sleeve.

    Her red locks boosted her gorgeous looks, as the songstress rocked a glam but chic palette with a shiny blush, rouge lipstick and sparkling smokey-eyes.

    Her doting dad Dukagjin, 54, cut a dapper figure in a classic black suit with papillon, beaming alongside his pop star daughter.

    The duo embraced one another for the camera while looking in good spirits, as the supportive dad didn't miss a chance to support the singer.

    All eyes were pointed on Dua as she strutted the red carpet of the event, busy to strike a slew of poses under the limelight.

    The Physical singer had two nominations for her hit single Dance The Night Away from the Barbie movie including Song Of The Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media - and will also stun guests and viewers with a live performance on stage.

    The pop sensation has often shared her unconditional love for her doting parents Anesa, 51, and Dukagjin on social media, proving to have a very strong bond with both of them.

    Dua is the oldest of three children as the couple also shares Rina, born in 2001, and son Gjin, born in 2005.

    The New Rules songstress previously admitted to have a 'good relationship' with her parents while speaking to The Guardian, and revealed at 14 she convinced them let her return to London in order to pursue a music career.

    Dukagjin's father, Seit Lipa, as a renowned historian who was head of the Kosovo Institute of History in the 1990s - where the family has their original roots.

    In the 1980s Dukagjin had already made a name for himself as a musician with the Kosovan rock band Oda.

    Later on he first formally trained as a dentist, while Anesa was training as a lawyer in Pristina, Kosovo - and he also studied mass communication at the Kosovo Institute of Journalism and Communication.

    Dukagjin is currently founder and CEO of REPUBLIKA Communications Agency, but also embarked on a project alongside his daughter.

    The pair share a passion for music which they decided to channel into creating Sunny Hill Festival in Pristina.

    The festival aims to increase tourism and highlight the cultural organisations at work in the capital.

    Praising both her parents for supporting her, Dua told The Guardian: 'I've seen my parents work every day of my life.

    'A big part of who I am has been watching my parents learn to adapt in different places, in different circumstances. And my dad would always tell me: 'You have to work really, really hard, just to have a tiny bit of luck.''

    The Be The One singer added: 'For me, growing up, doing music, watching pop stars on TV — that felt as crazy as cartoons. Totally unbelievable. Not real. What I've learned from my parents is this: Everything comes from hard work. And then, maybe, things align.'

    The 2024 Grammy Awards will be honoring music's brightest stars in a celebration held at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles on February 4.

    Hosted by Trevor Noah , this year's celebration will air live at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and its streaming service Paramount+.

    This year SZA tops the nominations with a total of nine nods, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song Of The Year. Taylor Swift follows close behind with six nominations, and will also be competing against SZA in the three aforementioned categories.

    The majority of Swift's nominations were for her acclaimed album Midnights and its single Anti-Hero, which earned some of the best reviews of her career.

    That track is up for Record of the Year, a category that honors the artists who recorded the song and its producers and engineers, as well as for the Song of the Year category, which honors songwriters. SZA's track Kill Bill has also been nominated in both categories.

    Swift has already made history in the Album of the Year category, currently tied for three previous wins with music legends Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder.

    However, she is now poised to become the first-ever person to win the category four times if Midnights ends up victorious this year.

    Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus are also both up for six awards. Eilish's nominations include Song and Record of the Year for her hit single from the Barbie soundtrack, What Was I Made For?

    Cyrus has the chance to win her first ever Grammy this year with her nominations.

    Her track Flowers is up for Record and Song of the Year, while her album Endless Summer Vacation has been nominated for Album of the Year.

    Olivia Rodrigo is another major name in competition for a trophy.

    Olivia - who has already won three Grammys - has been nominated for six awards this year, including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Song Of The Year.

    Other major nominees include jazz crossover artist Jon Batiste, the trio Boygenius (made up of Phoebe Bridges, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker), Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monáe and Victoria Monét, who was nominated for Best New Artist and multiple awards for her album Jaguar II and its singles.

    In addition to the big names celebrating career achievements, a host of celebrities are set to be presenting at the show.
