Ariana Grande

Career & style

Ariana Grande began on Broadway in 13 before becoming known on television through Victorious. Her recording career developed from Yours Truly in 2013 into albums including Sweetener and Thank U, Next. Musical theatre, television and pop performance therefore form distinct but connected parts of her professional history.

Her early fashion references included Audrey Hepburn and actresses of the 1950s and 1960s. That background makes proportion a useful starting point: compare the line of a short dress, the height of footwear and the framing created by a hairstyle. The pink tailoring in the accompanying Wicked promotional portrait belongs to a particular film campaign, and should be read within that context rather than as evidence of an unchanging personal uniform.
