AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande looked radiant in a shimmering pink gown at the Australian premiere of "Wicked". Her Vivienne Westwood ballgown, with puffy sleeves and bubblegum detailing, mirrored the energy of her character, Glinda, and was inspired by the original Glinda's (Billie Burke) dress from the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz".
Enhancing her magical appearance were over 100 carats of custom Lorraine Schwartz diamonds. Her captivating choker featured an array of round, flat, and rose-cut diamonds, with a centerpiece butterfly adding that extra sparkle. Schwartz elaborated on the design, stating, "The butterfly was ethereal. We thought it was perfect." Grande also wore a matching butterfly ring, and pink-hued makeup from her own R.E.M. Beauty x "Wicked" Galinda Makeup Set, priced at $60.
Her dress was meticulously crafted, with starburst patterns designed to mimic Glinda's wand. As Grande explained to Vogue Australia, "I love [this outfit] not only because of how it makes me feel, but also the craftsmanship and the thoughtfulness behind each detail." Her styling allowed her to parallel Burke's Glinda, who donned a larger ballgown with crown and scepter, illuminating different facets of the beloved character.
Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the film, opted for a sculptural black Louis Vuitton dress and statement choker necklace, providing a striking contrast to Grande's delicate appearance.
