Ariana Grande revealed the secrets behind her timeless beauty as she received the Rising Star Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival.

The singer joked that she looks young, thanks to Botox and Juvederm, after being honored with an up-and-coming award for her role in 'Wicked'.

Ariana Grande described the opportunity to star in the film as "the honor of my life", but said it felt like "coming home" after initially taking a break from the film world to focus on her music.

Grande was presented with the Rising Star Award by Jennifer Coolidge for her work in "Wicked" at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala.

As she stood to give her acceptance speech, the "Thank U, Next" singer credited "Botox and Juvederm" for the honor, adding that she never thought she'd be in that category.

"You don't know how much this means to me," said Grande, who turned heads at the event in a chic satin white dress, per People Magazine.

She added: "I thought I'd heard 'slowly fading star' or 'falling star' by now, so thank you."

During the ceremony, the pop star praised Coolidge as "a comedic genius whose brilliance has inspired my entire life."

She also thanked "Wicked" director John M. Chu, whom she described as her "fearless leader," and her co-star Cynthia Erivo, whom she called her "brilliant sister."

In her speech, Grande explained that the honor felt like "the beginning of a new chapter" in her career, having started out as a child star on Nickelodeon.

She noted that being able to play Glinda the Good in the film was "not only the honor of my life", but added that it was "like a homecoming".

"For those of you who don't know, I started in stand-up comedy. My first professional gig was in our living room in Boca Raton, Florida, (to entertain) my grandparents. I was 4 years old and my mom gave $5," she shared.

Explaining how comedy shaped her life, Grande noted, “I learned early on that laughter was one of our greatest escapes, and I remember the contagious effect it had, not only on the people in my life, but how it fed me . in return."

"And the past 10 years when I've been really focused on music, I've really missed that feeling. So it really feels like the beginning of a new chapter," Grande added.

Festival president Nachhattar Singh Chandi previously praised Grande for her role in the musical fantasy film, saying it was "the beginning of many accolades" she was yet to receive in her career.

He said: "Ariana Grande is an iconic global actress, who has seamlessly transitioned to film in her first major leading role, proving that she is a multi-faceted and undeniable talent."

"This role will surely be the beginning of many accolades that he will pick up during his acting career," he added.

Grande was nominated for a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards, among other awards, for her supporting role as Glinda Dobra in "Wicked."

"Wicked: Part One" is loosely based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 book, which was later turned into a triple Tony Award-winning Broadway musical in 2003.

The final part of the film, "Wicked: For Good", will be released in theaters in November 2025.

In addition to films, Grande received Grammy nominations for her seventh studio album, "Eternal Sunshine."

It comes after the "Everyday" singer revealed she feared she would "get caught" after receiving a message from English singer Imogen Heap.

She'd just been asked if she'd ever been blown away, prompting Grande to recall her first chat with Hip, which she described as "brilliant in every way."

"Imogen Heap is my idol—my number one favorite musician, songwriter and producer of all time. The first time I got a text from her, I thought she was after me," she said. In Magazine.

Grande continued, "I used to sit in front of the TV in my little dress and study Judy Garland's body movements, how Toto carried herself. My first impersonation might have been Judy Garland."

"I've always been fascinated by sounds and tones and different accents — my first memory is singing with my mom in the car to Barbra Streisand or NSYNC or Over the Rainbow. I don't remember a time when singing wasn't a part of my life," she added.
