Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic for MTVAriana Grande just brought the house down.
The pop star took the stage Saturday at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Calif. for her first ever MTV Movie Awards performance, and she did not disappoint! Ariana delivered a soulful rendition of her latest single "Dangerous Woman," all while giving us major Marilyn Monroe vibes from 1953's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Rocking a silky hot pink gown with a fur stole draped around her shoulders, Grande kicked up the glitz and glam even more with a sparkling statement necklace and earrings. Not unlike her latest music video, the 22-year-old ditched her signature 'do for a sleek low ponytail.
Grande was joined onstage by famed Broadway composer and pianist Jason Robert Brown, who she told MTV News was responsible for casting the singer in her first role in 13: The Musical.
Ahead of the performance, she also teased, "It's more character-y and I'm excited to just have fun, play dress-up, and do a different version of it."
While Ariana has offered fans a stripped down (and jaw-dropping) a capella version as well as a seductive accompanying video, this time allowed for the talented star to really show off her voice in a jazzy style reminiscent of Old Hollywood elegance.
And we're set to see yet another Grande persona in the upcoming second "Dangerous Woman" music video, which she described as out of the ordinary. "This one's more cinematic and weird and tells a story," she dished." It's very different from the first one. I wanted to do a sexy, simple, more glamorous video, which was visual one. And then the second one is very different… This video is so weird."
We love every iteration of Ariana, but this was definitely one for the books.
