Sabrina Carpenter glammed up to perform on The Tonight Show in Manhattan on Thursday while promoting her newly-dropped, sixth studio album Short n' Sweet.
The 25-year-old pop star slipped her petite 4ft11in frame into a plunging, backless black-sequin gown selected by stylist Ron Hartleben.
Sabrina sang a jazzy, stripped rendition of her No. 1 hit song Please Please Please while barefoot and perched on a white grand piano.
Carpenter eventually stood up as she finished off the track about instructing her boyfriend not to blunder and blemish her reputation.
Hairstylist Scott King coiffed the Espresso hitmaker's signature flaxen, fringed mane and make-up artist Carolina Gonzalez fully contoured her complexion for her fourth appearance on the NBC talk show.

Sabrina opted for a baby-blue sparkly collared top, matching shorts, and towering platform heels for the interview segment with host Jimmy Fallon.
'I mean honestly, like, it does really feel like a self-titled album to me,' Carpenter said of her 12-track record that dropped Friday at midnight ET.
'Well, also because Short n' Sweet is sort of like Sabrina in another language to me. It really just feels like all of these stories and memories and very much like blunt, very forward, very fun, and just some of the best memories that I've had for the last two years of writing it, so I'm so excited for everyone to hear it!'
That same night, the former Disney Channel star - who taught herself how to play piano and guitar with YouTube tutorials - shared a BTS slideshow of the making of Short n' Sweet with collaborators like Jack Antonoff, Amy Allen, Julia Michaels, John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, and Steph Jones.
Sabrina - who boasts 76.3M social media followers - wrote on Instagram: 'The making of Short n' Sweet was one of the most special, honest, up-and-down, stupid, and fun experiences of my life! I thought if something was funny enough to make me laugh then maybe it belonged in a song. Happy or sad! Thank you to my brilliant [and] talented friends.'
On Friday, she will finally unveil the music video for her next single Taste co-starring Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega, in which she seemingly takes a naughty shower with Carpenter's man.
'It was inspired by one of my favorite films, and she was a huge fan of the film,' the Pennsylvania-born blonde explained of the casting.
'And also just like, I'm so excited for you guys to see this video. You have no idea. I think it's my favorite one I've ever done!'

Sabrina - who gets 75.9M monthly listeners on Spotify - is excited to kick off her 'first-ever arena tour' with the 47-date Short n' Sweet Tour on September 23 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH.
'I'm so small and the stage is so big so I don't really know what I will do other than I want it to be the best show for everybody that's attending,' Carpenter gushed.
But first, the Hot Ones champ is scheduled to be one of the performers for the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards airing September 10 from the UBS Arena in New York.
Sabrina will compete for six Moonperson trophies - song of the year, artist of the year, and best pop as well as technical awards for best editing, best direction, and best art direction.

On the personal front, Carpenter reportedly split with Oscar-nominated actor Barry Keoghan 'around three weeks ago because his party lifestyle was getting in the way of their relationship.'
'Barry acts like an idiot when he is drunk and Sabrina was getting increasingly frustrated,' a source told The Sun last Saturday.
'He has always been a party animal and Sabrina was fed up with his antics. She is soaring in the charts and is putting herself first as she gears up for her tour next month.'
The SKIMS brand ambassador had first crossed paths with the 31-year-old Irishman at the Givenchy runway presentation during Paris Fashion Week on September 28 before being spotted on a date in Brentwood on December 3.
