Performances at the 2014 Grammy Awards Ceremony

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z performed to their song 'Drunk In Love'

Julia Roberts took to the stage at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards to introduce a special performance from the only surviving Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr in stunning fashion.

 

Julia showed off her never-ending legs in a black lace minidress by Elie Saab from his spring/summer 2014 collection, and proved that at 46-years-old, she could still give these young girls a run for their sartorial money.

'On February 9, 2014, the Recording Academy will honour John, Paul, George and Ringo with a special two-hour Grammy tribute: The Beatles: The Night that Changed America The Grammys Salute.'
