Ariana Grande is still embodying her Wicked character Glinda as she left The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon holding her pink wand on Tuesday evening.
The actress and singer, 32, appeared on the latest episode of the chat show where she performed a duet with Jimmy and showed off her wind skills.
In Wicked, Glinda is notably nifty with her wand, and Ariana proved she’s still got the ability years since they shot the two movies.
Ariana joked she thought she may take the host’s eye out, before he took safety behind his desk while she span her wand around with impressive skill.
She looked incredible in a black velvet gown, which had a skirt covered in glitzy green leaves in a possible nod to her co-star, Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba.
The Boy Is Mine hitmaker wore a sheer scarf draped over her shoulders and tied her hair up into a sleek bun, complete with glamorous make-up.

During her TV appearance, Ariana discussing her upcoming hosting stint on Saturday Night Live (SNL), which will take place later this month.
Ariana has previously appeared on SNL several times and impressed fans with her Domingo skit, about a bride who wanted to run off with her honeymoon fling.
She has brought back the sketch a couple of times, however speaking to Jimmy, Ariana declared that ‘Domingo is dead’ and won’t be reappearing next time.
Ariana was also on Fallon to promote the Wicked: For Good sequel, which will hit cinemas on November 21.
When asked if she misses the cast and has been enjoying spending time with each other on the press tour, she joked they haven’t really had time to miss each other.
This is because they have spent so much time together and Ariana admitted they have become somewhere ‘co-dependant’.
Ariana appearance came after a fan frantically rushed at her at the Singapore Wicked: For Good premiere – in an incident that has reportedly triggered her PTSD.
Fans weighed in with their thoughts in the comments, writing: ‘Very overstimulating especially for people with anxiety and PTSD.’

‘queen was just a lil overstimulated,’ another wrote.
Ariana has previously been candid about her mental health challenges.
Earlier this year she opened up about the inner turmoil she endured during the creation of her back-to-back albums Sweetener and Thank U, Next.
Production on Sweetener began after the 2017 Manchester bombing outside her concert, which claimed 22 lives, and a month after its release in August 2018, Ariana faced another blow with the death of her ex Mac Miller from an overdose at 26.
‘I was doing so much therapy, and I was dealing with PTSD and all different kinds of grief and depression and anxiety, and I was, of course, treating it very seriously, but having music be a part of that remedy was absolutely contributing to saving my life,’ she shared on The Hollywood Reporter Awards Chatter podcast.
In the wake of Mac’s death and her breakup with Pete Davidson, Ariana channeled her pain into Thank U, Next, completing and releasing the album in just two weeks by February 2019.
‘They were dark times, and the music brought so much levity, and so did the experience. But it poured out with urgency, and it was made with urgency, and it was a means of survival,’ she confessed.
Ariana’s New York premiere came the same day Australian Johnson Wen, 26 – the online prankster known as Pyjama Man – was sentenced to nine days behind bars after he rushed Ariana at the Singapore premiere of her Wicked sequel.

According to the Singaporean paper The Straits Times, the judge said that Wen had planned the disturbing move to get hits on social media.
Wen was also called a ‘serial intruder’ by prosecutors.
Addressing Wen, district judge Christopher Goh said: ‘You seem to be attention-seeking, thinking only of yourself, and not the safety of others, when committing these acts.’
Wen stormed past security at Universal Studios last Thursday and latched onto Ariana, wrapping an arm around her as she struggled to pull away.
Erivo immediately jumped in, shouting at Wen while throwing herself between him and her co-star as security tackled the intruder and dragged him off. Ariana was left visibly shaken on the carpet.
Hours later, Wen uploaded a chilling selfie with manic eyes, pointing at an Ariana poster and bragging, ‘I finally met Ariana Grande tonight.’
