Ariana Grande’s Best Outfits—From Teen Pop Star to Full-On Movie Star

Happy birthday, Ariana Grande! Today, the star turns 32—and she certainly has a lot to celebrate this year, outside of her special day. For starters, her highly anticipated film Wicked: For Good, co-starring Cynthia Erivo, will premiere in November. Grande’s 2024 album, Eternal Sunshine, meanwhile, continues to dominate our Spotify playlists. Simply put: She is in her prime! So, what better time than now to delve back into some of Grande’s best fashion moments over the years?

Since bursting onto the scene on the hit Nickelodeon series Victorious, Grande has enjoyed quite the dramatic style evolution—transforming from a TV star and teen pop star into a full-on, Oscar-nominated movie star today. In the 2010s, her signature look was well-documented: Her outfits were often complete with ultra-mini hemlines, extra-high ponytails, and always thigh-high boots.

More recently, however, Grande has graduated into a more sophisticated and Old Hollywood red carpet vibe. Once she was cast as Glinda in Wicked, her whirlwind press tour saw the star wear an endless array of princess-worthy gowns (almost all of them in pink, of course). When the superstar was nominated for an Oscar this year, she turned up to the affair in a voluminous champagne-colored Schiaparelli gown (she also performed in a ruby-red dress from the label). It was a fresh and current take on the dazzling style sensibility that she has nailed for years.

Below, some of Grande’s best outfits of all time.
