Actress and singer Ariana Grande is honoring the legacy of Glinda in more ways than one as she promotes her upcoming film Wicked: For Good. During the London premiere on November 10, the 32-year-old star revealed the story behind her show-stopping look a vintage black one-shoulder ballgown with deep Hollywood roots.
Styled by Law Roach, Grande wore a gown originally featured in the 1952 musical Lovely to Look At, designed by the legendary Gilbert Adrian. The late costume designer was also behind the iconic looks of The Wizard of Oz, including Dorothy’s ruby slippers and Glinda’s glittering bubble dress. The piece was sourced from Lily et Cie in Los Angeles, a famed boutique known for its rare 20th- and 21st-century fashion treasures, she told British Vogue.
Reflecting on the emotional significance of the look, Grande told People magazine that wearing the gown was a heartfelt experience. “To now have it in our personal vintage collection, and to wear something made by him on this carpet, feels so emotional and meaningful. Law and I cried many times during this fitting,” she shared.
