Proud: WAG Alex accompanied Steven to the ceremony
Gerrard, who was awarded the MBE last year, traded his football strip for a colourful gown and cap, proudly showing off his award after the ceremony.
He posed up alongside Curran, who committed the ultimate WAG faux pas by wearing the same yellow Roland Mouret dress Victoria Beckham wore just weeks ago.
The accolade was awarded to mark the Anfield club captain's contribution to sport.
Speaking earlier this week, Liverpool John Moores University's Vice-Chancellor Professor Michael Brown said: 'Steven epitomises the university philosophy of Dream, Plan, Achieve'.
'As a young boy he excelled in the sport he loves and ensured his talent was recognised, looking upon challenges as opportunities and pursuing each available avenue.
'As a result he has become one of the best sportsmen in the country, if not the world, with a reputation for integrity both on and off the pitch.
'As a prominent sporting figure and a son of the city, it is fitting that LJMU, an international leader in sports and exercise science and a major contributor to Liverpool's success and growth, should award Steven with this honorary fellowship.
'We are delighted to welcome him into the university family.'
