Ariana Grande Ditches Glinda's Go-To Pink at U.K. Wicked Premiere for Another One of Her Character's Signature Looks

Something has changed inside Ariana Grande.

At the London premiere Wicked On Monday, November 18, the actress and singer decided to ditch her usual Glinda-inspired pink hues in favor of a buttery yellow combo.

Grande, 31, walked the green carpet in a custom-made silk evening gown and matching Ralph Lauren wrap. She accessorized with a sparkly choker necklace as well as a pair of sunglasses – what some Wicked fans on X have cleverly pointed out that it’s likely a nod to a scene in the Broadway musical where the character of Glinda (originally played by Kristin Chenoweth) wears a similar pair of glasses with a yellow dress.

Grande’s co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the film adaptation, wore a black Schiaparelli couture dress just like her character.

Thom Browne’s outfit featured long sleeves and theatrical arms on the shoulders, as well as a hooded top.

“On the first day of rehearsal, we both wear Balenciaga hoodies. Mine was pink and it said ‘gay,’ and hers was black and it said ‘Balenciaga,’” Grande revealed.

“It was never really planned. it is never planned. We just show up and it happens,” added Erivo.
