It's no question that Ariana Grande is great at impressions. After doing spot-on imitations of Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion (which she loved), Britney Spears and more, the singer decided to take on a classic star: Marilyn Monroe.
Last night at the Tiffany & Co. party in Beverly Hills, she fittingly covered Monroe's "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." Although she added her own modern flair to the 1953 classic, she nailed Marilyn's flirtatious stage presence. She wasn't adorned in a pink dress and jewels, but she already did that earlier this year.
