Ariana Grande keeps close to good friend Graham Phillips as they arrive at the 2010 Emmy Awards held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles on Sunday evening (August 29).

The 17-year-old Victorious actress wore a lovely Versace dress and accessorized with a Herve Leger clutch and Vahan Jewelry on the red carpet. Graham stars on The Good Wife, for which Archie Panjabi won Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama.

Ariana caught up with JJJ on the red carpet and dished about her music plans, “I’ve been writing all summer, which has been really exciting. I’m writing like every single second of my life, and I’m always recording and doing youtube videos and stuff like that. If it was just up to me, my album would have been out yesterday, but there are things that have to happen, and it takes longer than I thought it would. Everything is in the works.”
