Ariana Grande Continues to Glinda-fy Her Awards Season Wardrobe with a Pretty Pink Gown at 2025 BAFTAs

Grande has been a fixture on the carpet this awards season for her role as Glinda in ‘Wicked’

We couldn’t be happier! Ariana Grande is back on the red carpet with another enchanting look.
The Wicked star, who’s been recognized throughout this year’s awards season for her role as Glinda, continued her streak of high-fashion looks at the 2025 BAFTA Awards in London, where she’s nominated for supporting actress.
Grande arrived at the BAFTAs in a pretty poufy pink and black gown from Louis Vuitton that brought all the drama. Her plunging dress featured a black bodice and voluminous peachy-pink skirt with a gathered waistline. The sides of the bodice also dipped low enough to show off plenty of Grande’s tattoos.
The actress accessorized with dazzling jewelry, including a diamond necklace and pearl earrings. She kept her glam peachy pink to match her dress and slicked her hair back off her face with a little black bow.

Grande, 31, kicked off her parade of awards show looks at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards on Jan. 3, where she turned heads in a custom Louis Vuitton bubble ball gown that seemingly nodded to Glinda’s favorite mode of transportation.
Two days later, she, alongside her mom Joan, attended the 2025 Golden Globes in a pastel yellow strapless column gown originally from Hubert de Givenchy’s Spring/Summer 1966 Haute Couture collection. It was purchased by Rita Watnick-owned LILY et Cie. Speaking with Variety on the red carpet, Grande, who was styled by Mimi Cuttrell, said the look was inspired by the yellow brick road, a famous symbol of both Wicked and The Wizard of Oz.

An archivist from the French label shared in a press release that the beaded ensemble first debuted during the Audrey Hepburn era, which led many to believe that perhaps Grande was not only channeling the Good Witch, but also the Old Hollywood icon. Could Grande be possibly starring in a Hepburn biopic next?

The “7 Rings” singer answered the question on everyone’s minds at the The National Board of Review Gala on Jan. 7, where she appeared in a baby pink custom Loewe design that also emanated the timeless elegance worn so well by the Funny Face actress.
“Oh my goodness, why is everyone asking me this? You’re insane!” Grande said in an interview with Access Hollywood conducted at the event “You’re insane, you’re insane, you’re insane. You’re insane. I love you.”

On Hepburn, among other vintage starlets, being her style inspirations, Grande added: “I’ve always loved Old Hollywood glamour — like, Marilyn [Monroe] and Audrey have always been my references.”
“I’ve always gravitated toward ’50s, ’60s silhouettes and retro vintage … I can’t even think of a time when that wasn’t my vision board. But it’s been more fun to have more places to really do that,” she told the outlet, adding that she and her stylist have been “leaning all the way in.”

Though she skipped the 2025 Grammys, despite earning three nominations this year including best pop vocal album, Grande stepped out for the Critics Choice Awards on behalf of Wicked. She wore a breathtaking Dior Haute Couture cage dress covered in floral appliqués on the sleeves and skirt (very Glinda) and made in a nude hue (very anti-Glinda).
Grande appeared with several of her costars at the show, including Cynthia Erivo, whose been on a winning style streak at the recent string of award ceremonies, and Ethan Slater, her boyfriend.
Next up, Grande is headed to the Oscars as a first-time Academy Award nominee. She’s in the running for Best Supporting Actress alongside Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown), Felicity Jones (The Brutalist), Isabella Rossellini (Conclave) and Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez).
