Following her Wicked movie release, Ariana Grande has been taking a much-needed break from the color pink. After wearing Glinda the Good Witch-inspired garb exclusively for a full calendar year, the pop star is slowly rebuilding her relationships with the rest of the color wheel.
In recent weeks, Grande has paused her powder pink parade , in favor of other pastels, like minty green and butter yellow . This isn't the only shift she's made in recent weeks, however. Beyond her overall color choices, Grande has also begun shelving her girly-girl vibe for neutral hues and androgynous pieces. Grande's 2025 aesthetic has notably pivoted from girly-girl dresses in cotton candy colors to all-black looks , neutral dresses , and even the odd power suit .
As with anything, absence makes the heart grow fonder, so after some well-deserved time apart, Grande has returned to method dressing with full force. On Feb. 9, she made an appearance at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and didn't miss a sartorial beat. The "Eternal Sunshine" singer picked up right where she left off, wearing an Armani couture gown covered in three-dimensional cherry blossom appliques.
Grande looked as though she could have stepped right off the movie set. The number featured a dramatic, A-line silhouette, with a dramatic hoop skirt covered in netted tulle—not too far off from the look she wears in Munchkinland.
Though she skipped out on the towering crown, Grande did sport a bit of Glinda-inspired glitz. Grande was all decked out in pieces from her new Swarovski collection , wearing crystal-and-pearl hoops and a dazzling ear cuff to match. Though the Swarovski sparklers looked right at home alongside her designer gown, both pieces cost less than $200.
You can take the girl out of the Wicked press tour, but you can't take the Wicked press tour out of the girl.
