Ariana Grande dazzled at the 97th Annual Academy Awards, bringing her “Good Witch” energy to the Oscars red carpet in a breathtaking Schiaparelli couture gown. The Wicked star embodied a look that defied gravity with a sculptural design from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2025 collection.
Grande’s gown, which was part of the Paris runway show, featured a blush bustier that expanded into an elegant peplum, inspired by Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti’s iconic lamp designs. The peplum then flowed into layers of sparkling tulle, creating a dramatic, ethereal effect. Designer Daniel Roseberry’s masterful use of satin and tulle made the look feel like a work of art, further elevated by De Beers jewelry that complemented the sweetheart neckline.
The gown’s sculptural, otherworldly nature reflected the craftsmanship of Roseberry, who drew inspiration from the Art Deco era and Hollywood glamour of the ’50s. His Spring 2025 collection was a celebration of haute couture’s ability to push boundaries and aspire to reach celestial heights—an apt metaphor for Grande’s own star power.
In keeping with her Wicked press tour style, Grande’s gown was a subtle homage to her portrayal of Glinda the Good Witch. The pink hue, which many might even call “Ariana Pink,” added a whimsical touch to the red carpet look, seamlessly blending Grande’s iconic style with her Wicked character.
This Oscars marked a special milestone for Grande as she received her first-ever nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Wicked. As she prepares to perform with her co-star Cynthia Erivo, who also made a nod to her Wicked role in a striking Elphaba green Louis Vuitton gown, the duo is set to take the stage for a performance from the highly anticipated film.
