Ariana Grande just celebrated one year of her beauty brand, R.E.M., with a cute French-girl-inspired get-up! The “positions” singer, 29, posed for a new shoot to honor her accomplishment, rocking a plaid, corset-esque, bustier-like top with a black pleated mini skirt. Grande shared photos of herself in the outfit with her 339 million followers, as she stood in front of a brown background. The Grammy winner channeled 60s-inspired Parisian style with her Celine top’s print along with her accessories, including black leather gloves to match her skirt, and a brown bow in her hair.
