Rejoicify for Ariana Grande’s Red Carpet Look at Wicked 2 Premiere

Ariana Grande‘s style is nothing short of ozmazing.

The 32-year-old actress made a glamorous entrance at the New York premiere of Wicked: For Good on November 17th, channeling the character of Glinda with a flowing, light pink tulle gown on the red carpet.

She showcased a classic, Audrey Hepburn-inspired style, wearing a black strapless corset top. She posed next to Cynthia Erivo, who opted for a bolder, punk rock look with dark sunglasses.

Okay, seriously, this is HUGE! It feels like everything’s changing for Ariana as her time with Wicked is coming to an end. It’s been such a journey watching her, from when she first auditioned way back in 2021 to finally seeing the movie come out in 2025! But honestly, she’s still completely living for Glinda and Oz right now, and I’m SO excited she wants to share the rest of it with us fans. I can’t even handle how amazing this is!

Oh my gosh, I’ve been dying for everyone to see what happens with her next! Ariana actually said that her story has a huge development in the first movie, but it’s even bigger in the second one. I’ve been waiting so patiently, and I’m so excited for everyone to finally understand how amazing her journey is going to be!

Honestly, she gets it. She really gets Glinda. She kept talking about how crucial it was to do the character justice, and it wasn’t just about the sparkly dresses! She wanted to build Glinda from the inside out, to become her, and she said the hardest part was letting go of herself – leaving ‘her own stuff at home,’ as she put it. It’s like she wanted to completely disappear into the role, and it’s just…amazing to me.

Honestly, looking back, nothing I’d ever done prepared me for this role! I mean, I started on kids’ TV, and then I was totally lost in the pop music world for years. But then this came along, and I just knew I had to prove I deserved it. I really wanted to earn this part, you know? It felt…different. Like everything I’d done before was just leading up to this moment, and I couldn’t mess it up!

Ariana Grande will be touring arenas next year to support her album, Eternal Sunshine, and she says her experience with Wicked has left her feeling ready for it.

She shared how deeply connected she feels to her work and how incredibly inspired she is, calling it a wonderful gift.
