Hitting the red carpet in style, Tyrese couldn't help but smile as he and his only child mingled with stars on their way into the event.

Clearly delighted, and slightly in awe, with the chance to accompany her father on the red carpet, Shayla - Tyrese's only child with his ex-wife Norma - stuck close to her father's side.

Introducing his daughter to actress Kat Graham, Tyrese couldn't help but smile as his daughter admired the actress' flowing gown.

However Tyrese made sure that Shayla looked just as glamorous as any of the female stars attending the awards, with the budding fashionista  dressed in a gold embroidered dress and silver pumps.

Proving that she's just at home on the red carpet as her father, Shayla - along with her father - cosied up to The Vampire Diaries star, Kat, for a picture. 

The actor and singer - who hit the number one spot with his sixth studio album, Black Rose, earlier this year - looked the epitome of a dapper gent in classic evening dress.

Opting for a grey two-piece, with black detailing on the lapels, the star rounded off his classic look with a crisp white shirt, black bow tie and a pair of black suede slip-ons.

Adding a touch of bling to his look, the Transformers star accessorised with a pair of diamond studs, a hefty gold watch and some bracelets.
