You know you can count on Ariana Grande to deliver a mind-blowing red carpet moment. The certified Queen of method mode herself arrived to the 97th Oscars dressed suitably in blush pink suitably in blush pink, a shade synonymous with her Wicked character Glinda. It makes sense. The two-time Grammy winner has scored her first Oscar nomination for best supporting actress at the 2025 Oscars thanks to her performance as Glinda.
Usually arriving to events with co-star Cynthia Erivo in arm, Ariana Grande took to the red carpet solo, wearing a blush pink, crystal studded gown plucked straight from the Schiaparelli fall '25 couture catwalk, a look first debuted just earlier this year. Schiaparelli's couture collections are known for being exquisitely crafted, with just the right amount of wit and fun woven expertly into beautiful designs. And this gown is no exception, combining the drama of a structured bodice, huge 3D peplum with sparkling tulle skirt, creating the illusion she was floating down the red carpet. Working with long-term stylist Mimi Cuttrell, who helped mastermind the mammoth Wicked press tour and take dressing to a theme to the next level, Cuttrell finished off the outfit perfectly with matching sating Jimmy Choo heels and some serious De Beers diamonds.
And it wasn't just Ariana who has continued with the method dressing for the evening. Arriving shortly after, Cynthia Erivo took to the red carpet wearing a custom Louis Vuitton gown in a beautifully deep shade of green.
These might just be our favourite looks of the evening, bravo!
