Ariana Grande wows in a stylish brown faux leather look on set of music video in NYC… after teasing new music is on the way
Ariana Grande was glam to the nines on the set of a new music video in New York City on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old singer, who was in the recording studio this weekend, rocked a cherry red lip and looked camera-ready as she left her trailer.
The Victorious alum strutted her stuff in a seductive brown faux leather look.
She went topless under a belted jacket, worn with a tiny skirt, sheer tights and chic mesh gloves.
A pair of shiny black heels boosted her petite 6-foot frame.

The stylish outfit was put together by Ariana's longtime stylist Mimi Cuttrell.
Her golden locks were styled into her signature high ponytail with strands of hair wrapped around the base for a seamless look.
Ariana's makeup artist Ash K Holm – who also works with the likes of Megan Fox and Khloe Kardashian – paired her deep red pout with an elegant black winged eyeliner.
While little is known about Tuesday's video shoot, Ariana confirmed this weekend that new music is on the way.
On Sunday, the Thank U, Next singer took to Instagram to share photos and videos of herself in the recording studio with her producer.
In some clips, you could hear background noise in the studio, but when Ariana stepped up to the microphone, the videos were muted.
In some of the images, she sat at a computer and edited audio files.
Ariana – who is still under contract with Scooter Braun – has put her music on hold in recent years to film the three Wicked films, which were shot back to back.
She didn't caption the post, leaving fans hungry for details about her new music and when it will be released.

Friends and fans jumped into the comments to share their excitement with her friend and collaborator Victoria Monet, who said, “She's HOME!!!”
Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba opposite Grande's Glinda in the Wicked films, wrote, “no one is ready.” 'I'm so very proud of you!!' and 'This project is so incredibly special!!!'
The Bang Bang singer hasn't released an album of new music since 2020's Positions. Instead, she focused entirely on Wicked and her REM Beauty business.
“Wicked will have every piece of me, every minute, every ounce of my heart, my time, my soul, everything I can give it,” she told Billboard in May 2022.
'I have my hands pretty full at the moment with a lot of other 'exciting' work. I spend all my time with Glinda, I just wasn't ready for it.'
It was reported that Ariana signed with Brandon Creed's newly launched Good World Management over the weekend.
It's been months since she reportedly split from Braun, 42, and it's been a decade since he helped her rise to fame with her debut album, Yours Truly.
But insiders close to the situation have since told DailyMail.com that despite wanting to part ways with Braun, she is still strongly linked to the record executive, at least legally.

Ariana's latest album Positions was released in October 2020
'She remains contractually bound to Scooter, as several long-term contracts are still ongoing.
“If Ariana were to release a new album tomorrow, she would still be obligated to pay Scooter in addition to Brandon. Nothing has changed there.'
However, it appears Grande is doing her best not to work with Braun, with a second source insisting, “She's not working with Scooter.”
The second insider even said that there are currently “legal proceedings pending” over the termination of the contract, revealing: “There are legal proceedings ongoing regarding what each party may be entitled to as a result of the termination of the contract.”
