Get ready to relive the most memorable style moments of Ariana Grande, as she has consistently left her mark on the fashion world—from her Nickelodeon days with fiery red locks to her enchanting pink ensembles. The Grammy Award-winner has always been a trailblazer in fashion. As Ariana, who embarks on her 32nd birthday celebration on June 26th, prepares to captivate audiences once more on the red carpet with the release of Wicked: For Good this fall, she will undoubtedly bring her A-game in fashion.
For the “7 Rings” singer, her style evolution was pivotal in embracing her role as Glinda in Wicked and its sequel, as it necessitated shedding her “pop persona,” including her signature dark brown ponytail. “Beauty truly assisted me in dismantling that character and discovering Glinda,” Ariana revealed to Vogue in September 2024. “Even though I wore wigs, I needed to embody blondeness too.”
After nearly two years immersed in the magical realm of Oz, she brought Glinda's essence with her to the red carpet, swapping her cat ears and thigh-high boots for her character’s iconic pink attire. For the 2024 Los Angeles premiere of Wicked, she accessorized her bespoke pink and white plaid Thom Browne gown with a matching bow.
Ariana was also accompanied by her Shiz University social queen persona at the 97th Academy Awards, where she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Wicked. She wore an exquisite blush pink Schiaparelli gown adorned with a flowing lace skirt and 190,000 rhinestones, a vision of elegance.
Throughout the years, she has experimented boldly with fashion, while candidly sharing the scrutiny she has faced being in the public eye since her teenage years. “I’ve been performing in front of the public and been a subject of scrutiny since I was around 16 or 17,” Ariana explained in an interview with French influencer Crazy Sally in December. “It’s challenging to shield oneself from such noise.”
Undeterred, she wasn’t hesitant to clap back at critics who commented on her appearance months earlier. “There are numerous ways to embody health and beauty,” she shared in a TikTok video posted in April 2024. “Secondly, you never know what someone is going through, so even if you intend to come from a place of love or care, they might already be addressing it with their support system.”
