Ariana Grande looked absolutely stunning on Saturday Night Live last night, channeling Glinda from Wicked in a mesmerizing vintage Mugler gown. The pop superstar, who also hosted the show, captivated the audience with her pink-themed outfit that was a throwback to the 1980s.
The dress Grande wore was a rare piece from Thierry Mugler’s fall 1982 collection, making it a truly one-of-a-kind ensemble. Featuring a corseted top, a dramatic sweetheart neckline, and a voluminous tulip skirt, the gown exuded an eccentric yet elegant vibe that only someone like Grande could pull off. Paired with pointed fuchsia pumps, the singer kept her accessories minimal to let the dress shine.
Grande’s hair and makeup were also kept simple and chic to complement the vintage look. With her blonde locks slicked back into a sleek bun and a subtle glam makeup featuring black eyeliner, pink blush, and a glossy lip, she exuded a classic beauty that perfectly matched the timeless elegance of the gown.
During her monologue, Grande playfully remarked that she was going to “keep it low-key” in her stunning outfit, adding a touch of humor to the already enchanting performance. Alongside her stylist, Mimi Cuttrell, Grande has been rocking a series of pink-themed looks during the Wicked press tour, including designs by Oscar de la Renta, Loewe, and Thom Browne.
Overall, Grande’s vintage Mugler gown was a standout piece that showcased her impeccable style and fashion sense. With each appearance, she continues to prove that whimsical fashion can be just as captivating as it is elegant, even outside of the magical world of Oz.
