A rising star in the music industry, Ariana Grande has quickly become a household name. Starting her career back in 2008 as a cheerleader in the Broadway musical “13,” Grande’s big break came when she landed the role of Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon sitcom “Victorious.” Since then, she has dabbled in various film and television projects, even lending her voice to animated characters. However, it is her talent as a singer that truly sets her apart. With her signature ponytail and cat ears, Grande’s powerful voice has garnered her a huge fan following. Despite her transformation from a cute Nickelodeon star to a stunning and svelte singer, some have criticized her diva attitude. While her behavior may be controversial, there’s no denying that Ariana Grande is undeniably beautiful. Here are 15 of her most stunning moments captured on camera, showcasing her growth into a gorgeous woman. And of course, who could forget her iconic Instagram selfies?

Is it even possible to have a list of young stars in the age of social media without including Ariana Grande’s iconic selfie? Definitely not. Fortunately, she has blessed her fans with numerous captivating shots, like this one where she effortlessly combines the perfect wink, stunning doe eye, a hint of cleavage, and tousled hair. This particular selfie was taken at the Capital FM Summertime Ball in London back in 2015.

At the VMA’s, Ariana Grande once again showcased her signature style with thigh-high stiletto boots and a sleek black bodysuit. Some may have raised eyebrows at her bold choice of attire during the Summertime Ball in London last year, deeming it scandalous and inappropriate. However, upon closer inspection, all that was revealed were some pantyhose and Grande’s well-defined legs.

Once more, we see those alluring leather thigh-high boots paired perfectly with a short black leather dress. Grande is absolutely slaying the look with her matte dark red lipstick and that coy glance over her shoulder. Gone is the image of the sweet, petite girl from a children’s show – Ariana Grande has transformed herself into a Hollywood bombshell, having shed a significant amount of weight. She’s now confidently taking her place among the hottest stars in the industry. It’s a hot schoolgirl ensemble that she’s totally owning.

Who needs to stick to black outfits to exude charm? Ariana Grande proves that she can rock any style and still look captivating. While the school girl attire of a mini skirt and white thigh-high socks has been portrayed in some less-than-modest contexts, this pop star pulls it off effortlessly. Not only does she look stunning, but she also appears to be having fun with it – and that’s something we can all appreciate. At the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in London, Ariana is definitely turning heads.

This photo exudes a strong sense of allure. From the pose to the stunning boots (yes, again!) and the intense emotion etched on her face, it’s hard not to feel a sense of heat in the room. It’s impossible not to appreciate the beauty of watching an artist fully immersed in their craft at the Bambi Awards.

Yep, those fabulous boots are back once again (and we’re here for it) – we can’t help but admire how many pairs she must own. She’s also flaunting her curves, exuding a feisty cat-like energy with her fierce expression. Grande only needs a set of cat ears to complete the look, which was a trend she rocked not too long ago, but hey – can’t be wearing them all the time. Looking fierce in fiery red.

Another one of her Instagram snaps landed on this compilation, and it’s clear to see why. This particular photo received a whopping one million likes! The focus here isn’t so much on the red outfit she’s wearing, as it is on her full, pouty lips, sharp jawline, and her signature long ponytail. The photographer also deserves recognition for creating a fantastic composition with the pink backdrop that perfectly complements the red clothing and highlights Grande’s stunning features. In rubber!

And we have to admit, she definitely has a way of capturing the attention of the opposite sex. Ariana Grande has cleverly dabbled in all facets of allure, utilizing various tools of temptation, including donning a latex mask with bunny ears. While the ears may be a bit exaggerated, they are making a comeback on the cover of her album, “Dangerous Woman.” This image truly impressed us all when it was unveiled, especially with her hit song, “Problem.”

In another photo, she graces the cover of her single ‘Problem’ with Iggy Azalea. Her signature thigh-highs highlight her toned legs, while her seductive pose exudes confidence. With her head tilted and hand playing with her hair, she exudes sexy allure that we just had to include in our collection. This time, she’s pictured on a motorbike, adding an edgy touch to her already captivating image.

Remember when we talked about the alluring range of options and making the most out of them? It seems like we overlooked the impact of the automotive world. But, fortunately, Ariana Grande didn’t make the same mistake. Instead of her usual boots, she’s rocking a pair of chic white stilettos, and instead of performing on a grand stage, she’s set against a modest tool shed backdrop. Despite the unconventional setting, Grande oozes sexiness as she strikes a pose in her short black and white dress on a motorcycle, running her hands through her hair and revealing a tattoo on her ribs. This photoshoot by Jones Crow captures her in a captivating new light.

We have another album cover to talk about in this list, featuring a stunning photograph by the talented James Crow. He has captured some truly amazing shots of celebrities, including the fabulous Ariana Grande. The cover of her album My Everything shows Grande in a unique and subtly irresistible light. And those iconic white shoes have made multiple appearances on this list already! This particular look was also seen at the 2014 American Music Awards.

It’s clear that Ariana Grande not only has an amazing figure, but she’s also incredibly flexible. Just check out how high she’s lifted her gorgeous leg! And the way she does it so effortlessly only adds more charm to her stunning appearance in that playful golden two-piece outfit. The shoes are also a great choice – they’re not white, and they don’t go all the way up to her thighs, so let’s celebrate the variety! Plus, those cat ears and leather just add to her unique style.

Cat woman has made her grand return, confidently taking her place in the spotlight once more. Rocking a sleek two-piece leather outfit, she strikes a pose on a high chair, flaunting her toned and alluring legs. With a playful nibble on her fingernail and a seductive gaze directed at the camera, it was clear that this photo was destined to be a standout among the hottest selections on the list. Embracing her sexy and bold style, Cat woman confidently displays her legs while strutting down the street.

Legs, legs, legs – Ariana Grande is definitely showing them off in this sultry image. She looks absolutely stunning in a bodysuit paired with adorable tights that mimic stockings. With her back against a towering pillar, she exudes confidence and sex appeal. And let’s not forget about her long, flowing hair cascading down, a rare sight from her usual ponytail look. We can’t help but wish she would let her hair down more often.

Yep, she’s lounging on a bed in leather underwear – talk about steamy! It might be reminiscent of a certain popular book/movie, but we can’t help but see a sexy trend here. This shot reveals more of Ariana Grande’s stunning figure and gorgeous face than we’re used to seeing in her photos. She’s definitely owning the spotlight in this photo, earning her the top spot.
