Lady Gaga ensured the night was her own as she attended the star-studded 64th Grammy Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday evening.
The singer, 36, dazzled in an Elie Saab Haute Couture Robin egg-blue satin watteau gown with a dramatic bow feature reminiscent of the iconic costume donned by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 musical-comedy Gentleman Prefer Blondes while performing at the annual event.
Gaga performed a collection of songs from her and collaborator Tony Bennett‘s latest album Love For Sale, which took home the award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album earlier in the night.
95-year-old Bennett, who was forced to skip Sunday’s ceremony due to his ‘continuing struggle with Alzheimer’s,’ appeared via video feed to introduce Gaga to the stage.

Though Tony was invited to Sunday’s ceremony, Bennett’s son Danny told Variety that he would not be attending due to his health and continued struggle with Alzheimer’s disease.
‘Tony is beyond thrilled, particularly at the young age of 95, to once again be recognized along with his musical collaborator and dear friend Lady Gaga by the Recording Academy for their album Love for Sale,’ Danny began in his statement to the outlet.

‘To have the album nominated in six categories including Album of the Year and Record of the Year is an incredible honor,’ he added.
‘Although the producers had invited both Tony and Gaga to perform in Sunday’s Grammys broadcast, it is unfortunate that due to his continuing struggle with Alzheimer’s, he was not able to accept,’ Danny continued.
‘It was decided that it would be fitting for Lady Gaga to perform on her own to represent for both of them,’ Bennett’s son, 68, explained.
He concluded: ‘There is no doubt, that she will offer up an impeccable performance from Love for Sale, which is Tony’s final album. He will be cheering her on as he watches from his home in New York City.’
