Singer Ariana Grande made a surprise appearance at the Met Gala as she took to the stage to perform some of her greatest hits.
The 30-year-old performed for attendees of the Met Gala as she gave a whistle stop tour of her greatest hits including singing Disney’s “Once Upon a Dream,” before then singing five of her own songs “Into You,” “Seven Rings,” “The Boy Is Mine,” “We Can’t Be Friends,” and “Yes, And”, before she finished off with a cover of “When You Believe” with her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo.
Ariana initially wore an elegant white Loewe dress with a pleated skirt on the red carpet, complete with ethereal style makeup giving a nod to her Good Witch character from Wicked. However she later changed to give her musical performance and donned a sheer green bespoke Maison Margiela Artisanal outfit by John Galliano for the performance.
