Glad to see her keeping positive.

Cissy Houston did not want to do the red carpet and entered behind all the activity.  But was indeed there to support her late daughter.

Jordin Sparks looked amazing in a white strapless beaded & sequined gown from her fave designer Chagoury Couture.  By the way, the custom dress was $15,000!

And she brought her mom, Jodi, and dad, Phillippi, as her dates for the evening.  Her man Jason Derulo is still in Australia working.

Gorgeous look for her.
