00:05her 21st birthday, January 15th. The singer shares her show-stopping look with Instagram

00:10followers, posting a carousel of peeks at the peachy off-the-shoulder mini. The number goes

00:14perfectly with Grace's blonde bob, and she strikes several sexy poses in the sparkling dress before

00:19blowing a kiss to the camera. It's the latest head-turning look the musician has rocked recently.

00:24Back in September, all eyes were on Grace's gown at the Toronto International Film Festival.

00:29The celeb, who won AGT back in 2016 at the tender age of 12, wasn't afraid to show some skin as she

00:35stepped out for the September 10th premiere of Megalopolis, which she starred in alongside

00:40actors D.B. Sweeney, Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Giancarlo Esposito, and more stars.

00:45At the event, she rocked a daring look made up of a backless pink corset and a skirt that appeared

00:50dangerously close to a wardrobe malfunction with its plunging waistband. Back in 2022,

00:56Grace spoke to E! News about being in the public eye starting at a very young age, saying,

01:00Looking back, I have definitely faced the mental repercussions of that growing up.

01:04I feel like I'm still struggling. I feel like I keep learning about how to take care of myself

01:09better, and my biggest thing recently is just acknowledging your triggers.

01:12Grace also admits that comments from social media critics could sting.

01:16She told E! News,

01:17I'm human, and obviously things hurt sometimes. I feel like I've been doing this for so long

01:22that you get desensitized to hate online. I went through a ton of hate online when

01:26I was really young. I'm happy it happened, though, because it prepared me for this life.

01:31And any hater should recognize the fact that AGT judge Simon Cowell has called

01:35Grace's audition on the show one of his top golden buzzer moments of all time.

01:39Looking back, Grace told E! News,

01:41It's so surreal the way that has just transformed my life,

01:44and now I'm sitting here years later still in the business. I never would have thought

01:48I'd be doing that.
