Ariana Grande attended a special cast and filmmaker screening of ‘Wicked’ at the DGA Theater in New York City on Monday night, bringing a clever fusion of vintage glamour and modern detailing to the red carpet.
While Ariana’s outfit wasn’t pink, her Atelier Versace outfit drew unmistakable inspiration from the character Glinda’s iconic look in the original stage production, giving a nod to the magic of ‘Wicked’ while staying true to her own style.
The asymmetric waistcoat, featuring peaked lapels and silver Medusa buttons, offered a chic nod to modern tailoring, adding a sophisticated edge to the look. Balancing this with the voluminous midi skirt—a piece with classic flair and pure vintage vibes—was a striking choice that felt both nostalgic and refreshingly modern on Ariana.
Her Paula Rowan white leather opera gloves further heightened this effect, elevating the entire outfit with an undeniable touch of old Hollywood glamour.
Accessorizing with a white Versace Medusa ’95 handbag and white pumps, each element complemented the outfit’s vintage-inspired elegance while reinforcing a sleek, cohesive aesthetic.
Of course, the ensemble wouldn’t be complete without her iconic ponytail—a styling choice that has become as much a part of her public persona as her powerhouse vocals. Judging by this look, it’s safe to say the ponytail will be making its rounds throughout the ‘Wicked’ press tour, acting as Ariana’s own brand signature alongside each curated outfit.
The overall effect of this look is that of a performer who is embracing her role both on and off the screen with deliberate care, reflecting the grace and polish that audiences can expect from her upcoming performance. With ‘Wicked’ as a theme, this tailored yet playful Versace creation set a captivating precedent, showcasing Ariana’s ability to merge timeless theater nostalgia with her unmistakable modern flair.
