Ariana Grande has officially entered her Wicked: For Good press tour era. While her red carpet looks for the first film set an incredibly high bar, this time around, she is back and better than ever.
Over the last few weeks, the star has made Glinda-coded entrances. On October 26, at a special screening for the highly anticipated sequel, she wore a look from Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection.
For the Singapore stop on the press tour, the actress wore a custom sparkling number from Balenciaga by Pierpaolo Piccioli on the red carpet. The soft pink gown was covered in sequins and featured a big bow on the back—very Glinda-esque, if you ask us.
Mixing retro romance and theatre, the look featured a pale pink knitted, long-sleeved bustier that flared into a voluminous silk skirt printed in hot pink. The finishing touches were subtle but effective: pointed Christian Louboutin heels, diamond studs, and a sleek blonde bun.
Then, at the London premiere, she brought the drama in a vintage Gilbert Adrian one-shoulder princess gown from 1952—yes, that’s right, this impeccably-kept dress is 73 years old.
For the afters, she kept with the vintage theme, this time switching out her Gilbert Adrian gown for another couture tulle dress pulled from a 1950s archive.
With a flattering sheer layer over the neckline and floral appliques, it was the perfect extension of her red carpet look.
Grande’s stylist, Law Roach, who is currently orchestrating her ensembles, hinted that this is only the beginning of what’s set to be an enchanting style story. “Oh, baby, there’s a mood board,” he teased at a recent Los Angeles event. “There are hours and hours of fittings and laughing and swearing… It’s just a lot of daydreaming and imagination.”
Roach, who has long worked with Grande through her pop star and acting phases, described their creative partnership as a kind of fashion homecoming. “It’s just like two good friends reunited, getting to play in clothes—and a lot of clothes,” he said, adding that the singer’s gratitude and joy make the process a delight for everyone involved.
The Jon M. Chu-directed film, also starring Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum, hits cinemas on November 21. Watch the full trailer below.
