She celebrated her first-ever Oscar nomination in London with her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo earlier in the day.
And Ariana Grande turned to her boyfriend Ethan Slater later in the evening when they were seen stepping out in London to continue the celebrations on Thursday.
The 31-year-old singer and actress looked effortlessly glamorous in a shimmering pink satin Schiaparelli dress as she and her 32-year-old Wicked costar were seen leaving a studio and driving away in a black van.
Earlier in the day she wrote on Instagram that she couldn’t stop bawling her eyes out after being nominated for best supporting actress early on Thursday morning, but there was no hint of distress when she and Ethan headed out that night.
Her pale pink satin Schiaparelli corset dress — which is listed on the fashion house’s website for around $7,100 — lit up the night.
It featured a slim, corset-like midriff with striped stitching that emphasized her slim frame and contrasted with the more voluminous short sleeves and long skirt, which reached down to her ankles.

The pink dress was a logical choice for Ariana, as she has been favoring pink ensembles that would have perfectly fit her Wicked character Galinda, while her costar has similarly worn green and black outfits to remind fans of Elphaba.
The Thank U, Next singer paired her dress with pointy-toed pink satin heels that matched the look, and she accessorized her bubbly look with one of Schiaparelli’s anatomy jewelry bags, which was decorated with comically surreal eyes, nose and lips on the side.
The iconic handbags come in a variety of sizes, materials and designs, which run from $6,000 to more than $11,000, though her matching pink bag reportedly sells for around $7,200.
Ariana completed her look by tying her blond hair back tightly in a delicate bun, which put the spotlight on her elegantly made-up face.
Ethan kept the spotlight on his love by favoring a more low-key outfit that was also more appropriate for the chilly evening air.
He wore a mottled blue, green and beige striped sweater with the sleeves rolled up, along with a pair of cuffed gray–blue trousers.
The SpongeBob SquarePants musical star looked skater-chic with black Vans sneakers, and he covered his shaggy red hair with a black graphic baseball cap.
The lovebirds’ relationship took a new twist earlier in the day when Ariana became a first-time Oscar nominee for her supporting role in the blockbuster musical Wicked after the nominations announcement hosts — actress Rachel Sennott and her costar Bowen Yang — read her name.

‘Picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to @theacademy for this unfathomable recognition,’ she began her post on Instagram to celebrate the news.
‘I cannot stop crying, to no one’s surprise,’ she continued.
‘I’m humbled and deeply honored to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow just before the big, beautiful bubble entered. i’m so proud of you, tiny.’
Ariana included an adorable photo of herself as a child dressed up like Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz, which inspired her film Wicked, as well as the stage musical and the original novel that it’s based on.
She also included sweet words for her costar Cynthia, from whom she’s been nearly inseparable in recent months as they promoted their blockbuster film.
‘You brilliance is never ending and you deserve every flower (tulip) in every garden,’ she gushed. ‘i love you unconditionally, always.’
Ethan also shared a photo to his own Instagram account to celebrate his girlfriend’s good news.
