Ariana Grande jokes about Botox and fillers in her acceptance speech

Ariana Grande's strapless metallic dress was form-fitting around the chest and torso but flared dramatically at the waist before tapering near her ankles.

She paired it with metallic pumps and a diamond choker, completing the look with a sleek updo and cropped bangs, Parade reported.

During her speech, Grande acknowledged her lengthy career and addressed her 'Rising Star' award with humor.

"I have been performing since I was a child, so I never thought at the age of 31 I would be hearing the words 'rising star' again, so I wanted to start by thanking my two friends: Botox and Juvederm," Grande quipped to the laughing audience, InStyle noted.

She continued and joked, "I thought I'd be hearing 'slightly withering star' or 'drooping star' by now so thank you."
