Ariana Grande Wore a Micro Minidress With the Tallest Heels We've Ever Seen
Ariana Grande is a woman of many talents, from hitting whistle tones to writing songs that literally anyone can bop to. *Plays "Positions" on repeat.* Another of her more underrated talents is walking—not to mention singing and dancing—in heels that any normal person would break their ankle(s) in. Her latest pair, however, is arguably the "7 Rings" singer's most impressive yet.
Last week, while filming an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Grande wore a pair of pink-and-white sparkly platforms that had to be at least seven inches tall. The heels, which were secured with ankle straps adorned with designer GCDS's logo, first debuted at the brand's S/S 22 runway show in Milan. With them, she wore a custom seashell-inspired minidress that featured a separate strapless bra top and a corset waist, an oversize blazer, and a choker with a pink teardrop diamond pendant. Try to "Imagine" a better look—we'll wait.
