Ariana Grande gave a special treat to the A-list guests at the 2024 Met Gala when she was revealed to be this year's surprise musical guest.
Each Met Gala — which is held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art — features a highly anticipated surprise performance, and the 30-year-old singer–songwriter didn't disappoint with a survey of some of her biggest hits.
Ariana even had an extra surprise for the gala guests: a duet featuring her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo, 37.
For her performance, which was held at the Met's Temple of Dendur, the Thank U, Next singer changed into a bespoke Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano, according to Vogue.
The sheer green dress, which had flower-like ruffles decorating the skirt, left little to the imagination and highlighted her contrasting bra.

The former Nickelodeon star had one more ace up her sleeve — a guest appearance from her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo.
Cynthia joined her for a duet of When You Believe from the animated film The Prince Of Egypt (1998).
The two had a tough act to follow, as the soundtrack selection was originally performed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.
Cynthia had her own eye-catching fashion with a red-and-white houndstooth dress interrupted by large rose designs, which was part of Thom Browne's Fall 2013 collection, according to Vogue.
Browne was a favorite of Cynthia that evening, as she previously made a splash on the red carpet with a suit-like dress with a partially cropped top from the fashion designer. It bared her toned midriff and featured with a long black skirt and train.

The two divas will be featured in the upcoming Wicked: Part One, with Cynthia starring as the green-skinned witch Elphaba, later known as the Wicked Witch of the West, while Ariana costars as Galinda Upton, who is better known as Glinda the Good from L. Frank Baum's classic book series and the iconic Wizard Of Oz film.

The Costume Institute's spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This year, the exhibit is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, while the dress code is The Garden of Time.
Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth are this year's co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue's Anna Wintour.
The honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.
'This year's co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,' Vogue shared.
The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute's permanent collection, with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again, or even placed upright on a mannequin.
The pieces will be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI and more while playing up the themes of land, sea and sky.
'It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,' said Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.
