Ariana Grande made a dazzling entrance at the London premiere of “Wicked: For Good” on Monday night, with bold fashion and beauty choices. The singer-actress’s dark ensemble marks a striking change from her “Wicked” press tour wardrobe, which featured Glinda-inspired pink dresses. While she drew attention for her striking outfit, her hair and makeup choices became an unexpected talking point, and not for the right reasons.
Ariana Grande’s hair and makeup are a rare miss at ‘Wicked: For Good’ premiere
Grande, styled by Law Roach, opted for vintage glamor in a voluminous black gown by the legendary designer Gilbert Adrian. The rare 1952 creation featured an asymmetric neckline and a single shoulder strap. It also came with a dramatically tiered skirt embellished with sequins that shimmered under the red carpet lights. The actress completed her look with a dazzling diamond necklace and matching rings.
While her outfit earned high praise, her beauty choices left much to be desired. Grande’s tight chignon, styled by Alyx Liu, and minimal makeup by MUA Michael Anthony drew comparisons to her more polished past appearances, with many feeling that it fell flat.
The singer’s usually flawless makeup appeared washed out under the premiere’s lights. Moreover, her slicked-back hair and pale-toned makeup drained warmth from her features. A few stray wisps of hair framed her face. However, the style failed to deliver the effortless elegance she’s known for.
Her contour also became a topic of discussion, with fans pointing out that it wasn’t blended well enough. It created a stark shadow under her cheekbones, which was in stark contrast with her previously seamless makeup looks.
While portraying Glinda, Grande has spoken openly about how the character’s makeup style has influenced her own beauty choices. “Wicked: For Good,” the highly anticipated sequel to the 2024 Oscar-winning film “Wicked,” continues the story of Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande). The movie delves deeper into themes of friendship, morality, and destiny, with both actresses returning to reprise their celebrated roles.
