Ariana Grande stayed true to her signature style at the 2024 Academy Awards, continuing the soft, elegant aesthetic she has showcased throughout the Wicked press tour. While some expected the singer and actress to debut a bold new look for her first Oscar nomination, Grande instead leaned into the fairy-tale glamour that has defined her recent appearances.
Arriving early to the red carpet, Grande stunned in a pale pink Schiaparelli gown. The strapless corset top featured a satin peplum that flared into a voluminous, glittering tulle skirt. The ensemble evoked a modern Glinda—the character she portrays in Wicked—with a touch of ballet-inspired grace.
Her hairstyle remained consistent with her promotional appearances for the musical. She wore her brunette locks in a slicked-back bun, parted down the middle and styled into a soft swirl at the crown. The look was polished yet romantic.
Grande’s makeup complemented the gown’s delicate tones. She wore shimmering pink eyeshadow, pearlescent pink gloss, and rosy blush, accented with a touch of highlighter and dramatic lashes. Her nails completed the look with a classic French manicure, a style she has favored in recent months.
While it remains to be seen whether she will take home the Best Supporting Actress award, Grande has once again captivated fans with her consistent and carefully curated style. Her red carpet appearance reflects not only her character’s charm in Wicked but also her own evolving elegance.
