Let the fashion magic unfold!
Bubblegum Balenciaga
Ariana Grande dropped jaws on Instagram in February with her latest fashion revelation: a strapless pale pink Balenciaga gown, giving us a sneak peek of the glamour we can expect when Wicked hits theatres in November 2024. This bubblegum-pink stunner, crafted entirely from ribbon and cinched with a bold bow at the waist, is a whimsical masterpiece worthy of modernising Glinda herself.
But Grande didn’t stop there; she added a touch of ballet chic by pairing it with matching white tights and satin pumps, accessorized with dazzling diamond earrings from Smiling Rocks. With her signature high ponytail and ashy-blonde locks, Ariana Grande flawlessly blended monochrome magic, TikTok’s balletcore fashion trend and her eagerly anticipated role as Glinda into one mesmerizing look.
Glinda-esque Pink Perfection
Ariana Grande debuted on the Oscars red carpet in March, dazzling in a cotton-candy pink gown that screamed Glinda the Good Witch. Designed by Giambattista Valli Haute Couture, the bespoke column gown was a fairy tale masterpiece, adorned with intricate ruching and whimsical cloud-like attachments at the waist, cascading into a theatrical train trailing behind her with regal elegance.
Grande didn’t hold back, bedazzling her look with a jaw-dropping pink gemstone-encrusted necklace and matching drop earrings from the iconic Tiffany & Co. From her perfectly coiffed blonde curly ponytail to her flawless makeup featuring glossy pink lips, muted eyeshadow and rosy blush, every fashion detail was on point. She floated down the red carpet, exuding confidence and grace, leaving us all spellbound.
Blooming Oscar de la Renta Beauty
Ariana Grande wows everyone again with her fashion flair, this time in a stunning Oscar de la Renta mini dress. For her Wicked press tour, she transforms into a floral muse in this sleeveless masterpiece designed by the visionary duo Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim.
Adorned with intricately embroidered flowers on a sheer nude canvas, each whispering tales of elegance, Grande effortlessly exudes sophistication at every turn. Her look is further elevated with diamond stud earrings and Valentino’s bow-accented Nite Ou Satin Ruby Red Pumps, a subtle nod to Dorothy’s legendary slippers.
Floral Affair at CinemaCon
At CinemaCon 2024, Ariana Grande stole the show donning a breathtaking pink floral ensemble that transported us straight to the magical land of Oz. Draped in a jaw-dropping Oscar de la Renta spring ’24 creation valued at $7,000, Grande exuded elegance and charm in a fresh-off-the-runaway minidress, adorning delicate hand-painted organza petals, designed to imitate the look of a beautiful poppy flower.
Her platinum blonde locks were styled in a chic bun, perfectly paired with white pointy-toe pumps and dainty drop earrings. The outfit also sparked speculation about Grande’s potential appearance at the Met Gala 2024—could she be preparing to slay the red carpet in a similar floral fantasy?
Versace Interlude
Amidst whispers of a forthcoming parade of Glinda-esque pink dresses, Ariana Grande surprised with a sleek and understated fashion choice, as she departs from her floral-infused ensembles to a minimalist Versace midi pencil dress from the Fall 2023 collection.
Paired with pink Valentino Garavani Nite-Out pumps adorned with a charming bow, her look exudes sophistication with a hint of playfulness. While we adore this minimalist chic, we’d love to see her statement-making voluminous gowns at the world premiere. After all, her signature style begs for those breathtaking puffy creations.
