Kim Petras proved exactly why she was chosen to be MAC Cosmetics' newest face of Viva Glam when she showed up in her most sensational look for the brand's Viva Glam Ball in New York City on Wednesday, June 12.

Petras wore a body-hugging red gown with long sleeves and a dramatic train following behind. The “Throat Goat” singer made sure to show off her daring, thigh-high split while posing for photos.

Her makeup look was, of course, MAC Cosmetics — including the perfect Viva Glam red lipstick pout. Kim Petras Takes Back the Meaning of 'Accept Yourself' in Empowering LGBTQ+ Pride Month Message “It took me one second to say yes to a Viva Glam campaign. It was just something that was very present when I was learning about gay culture,” Petras told PEOPLE exclusively of her “princess moment” in getting offered the gig. Makeup has always been a “special” part of Petras' life. The transgender artist told PEOPLE that she started wearing makeup at 12 after she’d begun her hormone therapy journey. “It was just mascara and a little brow gel, but I remember that being so amazing because before that I needed to go to school in boys' clothes and have my hair back,” she said, adding, “It felt very freeing and I can't describe that feeling and how much that meant to me.” The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here!

Her MAC Cosmetics campaign is just one of her iconic partnerships. Last year, she nabbed a coveted Sports Illustrated cover, alongside Megan Fox, Martha Stewart and Brooks Nader. She also announced her first major label album at the same time. No big deal! "It's super exciting to have my Sports Illustrated cover and album announcement happening at the same time! Yu Tsai and the whole team at Sports Illustrated made me feel really comfortable and like I belonged there. I had the best time and, honestly, it was a huge confidence boost," Petras told PEOPLE exclusively last May.
