On Saturday, Ariana Grande attended the Los Angeles premiere of Wicked, the Jon M. Chu adaptation of the hit Broadway musical. Grande has been honoring her role as the magical Glinda throughout the film’s press tour and she walked the red carpet in another ethereal pale pink ensemble. The custom strapless ball gown by Thom Browne was constructed from a pink-and-white gingham fabric and came with a matching bolero jacket and gloves.

The dress featured a corset bodice and a hoop skirt that elevated to show off her sparkling heels under the asymmetrical hemline. She had her hair swept into an elegant updo tied off with a gingham bow and wore pearl stud earrings, adding a touch more glamour to the classic country print. For makeup, Grande wore a pale palette with her usual cat eyeliner.

The star has talked about how her role as Glinda has influenced on her style, saying in a behind-the-scenes video, “Glinda’s makeup kind of made me transform my entire look and my entire relationship to makeup. I just love it so much. There’s no thick eyeliner, there’s no heavy crease, it’s just really warm and open and pretty and, you know, the lashes are in a cat shape, which still gives you the cat eye lift that I usually love, but it’s also just a more honest representation of what you look like.”

Like Grande, her co-star Cynthia Erivo also honored her character, Elphaba, wearing a rich green latex gown by Louis Vuitton with cutouts along the torso, plus a matching feathered cape. For accessories, Erivo was wearing a diamond and emerald collar necklace by Roberto Coin from their Haute Couture Collection.

“For some reason, we just connected immediately,” Erivo told Deadline on Nov. 9, 2024. “Our voices really worked together. And I think from that moment on, we’ve been building, and it’s been the most fruitful relationship of my life.”
