Grande arrived in a mother-of-pearl gown by Jonathan Anderson for Loewe, and Erivo arrived in a two-piece tuxedo gown with pink flower petals by Thom Browne.
In addition to Grande performing with Erivo, Grande performed a set of her hit songs. The singer shared a few videos on TikTok of the moment she began her performances that night, in which she was carried into the venue by her backup dancers and delivered an rendition of "Once Upon a Dream" from the Disney film, "Sleeping Beauty," which was also a nod to this year's Met Gala theme: "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."
