Since the release of her new musical movie *Wicked*, the star has stuck to wearing only pastel colors. HELLO!
Ariana Grande has been the picture of glamour and grace this year, sticking to a wardrobe inspired by her role as Glinda in the hit movie Wicked. The actress has dazzled fans with a series of pink outfits, staying true to her character's signature color. She even made a brief exception at the European premiere when she wore a soft yellow gown inspired by the Emerald City. For the most part, though, Ariana has embraced Glinda-approved shades of pink, from sparkling blush dresses to dazzling bejewelled numbers. However, it seems Ariana is ready to embrace a new side of herself as she stepped away from her usual pink palette during a recent appearance in New York City.
On Wednesday, the singer attended a special screening of Wicked hosted by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, and her outfit was nothing short of a statement. Ariana traded in her usual soft, princess-like dresses for something far more dramatic. She wore an oversized, crepe dress in deep midnight black. The loose-fitting gown featured a bold off-the-shoulder neckline and was covered in faux fur, giving her look a touch of mystery and edge. She paired the gown with witchy point-toe heels, adding to the dark, enchanting vibe of the outfit.

To complete her ensemble, Ariana threw on a slouchy black coat, casually draped off her shoulders, which gave the look a cool, effortless charm. Despite the shift in her style, Ariana kept her usual beauty look intact. She slicked her honey-colored hair into a sleek ballerina bun, keeping it simple but elegant. Her makeup was minimal, with just a touch of fluttery lashes and a natural glow.

It wasn’t the first time this week that Ariana opted for a shift in her usual wardrobe choices. Just a day earlier, she was spotted in NYC wearing a floor-length black puffer coat, almost reminiscent of an oversized duvet. Still, she managed to add a touch of glamour, pairing the coat with a pair of black Manolo Blahnik 'BB' suede heels. The change in her wardrobe shows a different side of the pop starless bubblegum pink sweetheart and more the sophisticated, confident woman.

While Ariana has become known for her love of all things pink, these recent fashion choices show her versatility and willingness to try new things. Her daring looks are a refreshing change, showcasing her ability to effortlessly transition from a whimsical, fairytale-inspired persona to a darker, more mature style. Fans are surely excited to see what other looks Ariana has in store, especially as she continues her Wicked press tour.
