Was trouble brewing in paradise for our golden girl Ariana Grande right before she made the casual announcement about her split from The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes?

Most probably. The 20-year-old singer seemed to have lost her usual bright smile just days before the news broke out, as seen on her red carpet pictures at the recent Y100’s Jingle Ball in Miami.

The talented Nickelodeon lady looked somewhat amiss but still lovely in her full-skirted sweetheart dress by Zimmermann, which she paired with white pointed-toe pumps with metal details at the front.

Ariana styled her hair in her signature half-ponytail, highlighting her lovely ombré tones. Her makeup featured dramatic eyeliner, voluminous lashes, and a soft rose lip color.

She was accompanied by her grandparents, Frank Anthony Grande, a retired Italian-American soldier, and his wife, Marjorie “Nonna” M. Grande. They were married on September 21, 1946, and are the parents of Ariana’s mother, Joan Marguerite Grande.

In true feminine, flirty, and voluminous style, this sweetheart dress gets our nod of approval. We love its gorgeous sweetheart neckline, full skirt, delicate V-back, and beautiful blue floral pattern.

While we’d love to see Ariana step out of her comfort zone (see description of her usual wear just before this sentence), we still think this dress merits well-deserved fashion points.

Her dainty little dress is no longer available online.
