Was Beyoncé at the Grammys?

It seemed to be the question on everyone’s minds after the red carpet closed and the show began; all the while, not a single sighting of Bey.

Known for heating up the red carpet with iconic style, it turns out Beyoncé was, in fact, present and accounted for.

Working a sparkly number, she defied red-carpet style tradition, opting for a coordinating jacket-and-shorts combo instead.

Check out the slideshow for photos of the singer as she roamed Staples Center, taking time to catch up with Janelle Monae and Gwyneth Paltrow.
