All eyes were on Ariana Grande on Sunday night, when she performed at the Power 106 All-Star Celebrity Basketball Match, stealing the spotlight in a black sexy crop top and matching mini-skirt. Chris Brown and Nick Cannon were amongst the stars who turned out for the game, which benefited Homeboy Industries at the Galen Centre last night.
Ariana, who is currently dating Big Sean, writhed and thrusted her way through the performance during the half-time, with Kylie Jenner, Karrueche Tran and Amber Rose looking on from the crowd. Grande has certainly changed up her look since the Sam & Cat days, it's all abs and legs these days.
She's been collaborating with the likes of Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea in recent months, so it's no big surprise that Arie is no longer the Disney princess she once was and she's definitely picked up a few moves from hanging out with those ladies.

But don't go thinking nude images recently leaked online that are alleged to have been hacked from her personal account, because the 21 year-old insisted they're not her. Ariana had a busy weekend, she also performed at the iHeart Music Festival in Las Vegas.
With her debut album rocketing up the charts, it's been non-stop for the singer over the last few months, but she's more than willing to put in the hours. Speaking to Marie Claire magazine recently, Ariana admitted she'd had to reign herself in when it came to starting out in the music industry
"I was 14-years-old and ready to make an R&B album," she said. "I was like, 'Where is that Mary J. Blige collab? Where is that Natasha Bedingfield writing session? Where is my session with India.Arie? I'm ready. Let's go.' I wrote this song called 'Higher,' and the lyrics were too sexual, too mature. And my mom was like, 'This is a great song, but damn, you're too young for this.'"
She's certainly a long way from Sam & Cat now! (SplashNews)
