We can always count on singer-actress Ariana Grande to serve major looks when she steps out, and tonight’s Golden Globe Awards is no exception. The 31-year-old, who not only released her seventh studio album Eternal Sunshine in 2024 but also starred in the box office hit Wicked, was a highly anticipated guest at the prestigious event and she hasn’t disappointed. The “Yes, And?” singer is nominated for her first Golden Globe this year for her supporting role as Glinda in the Jon M. Chu musical.

Wicked, which is now the highest-grossing film based on a Broadway musical, is nominated for four total awards at the Golden Globes, also including Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Cynthia Erivo’s performance as Elphaba and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. When celebrating her nomination, Grande said she was “floored and honored” and “crying (of course).”

Grande, who is being praised as stealing the show in Wicked, looked like an absolute princess on the Golden Globes red carpet, wearing a gold floor-length strapless gown from Givenchy featuring a gorgeously detailed top of sequined patterns and a bow in the back. She complemented the dress with white elbow-long satin gloves and ivory closed-toed pointed heels and styled her hair up in a wavy ponytail with her bangs slicked to the side. Her glam is gorgeous, as expected, with a light eyeshadow, rosy cheeks and a pink lip.

Is anyone else seriously getting Cinderella or even Bridgerton vibes from this look? She looks fantastic. According to a press release, the gown is vintage Givenchy Haute Couture from 1966.

Purchased from Rita Watnick of the exclusive Archival Shop in Beverly Hills LILY et Cie, the one-of-one gown of the Audrey Hepburn era was unworn, making this look all the more special. “Fashion like this didn’t just happen by chance — it was the result of one of the most legendary collaborations in fashion and film history,” said Watnick in a statement. “The dress was unworn. It still had the original mode depose seal in place on the dress. It came from the wife of a very formidable old school studio head’s wife. I bought really fabulous museum pieces from her.”

Grande also posed with Erivo on the carpet, making for a picture-perfect moment.

On Friday night, Grande was celebrated for her performance in Wicked at the Palm Springs International Film Festival where she received the Rising Star Award by actress and friend Jennifer Coolidge. The Florida native joked about the award in her acceptance speech, poking fun at the irony that she’s been a notable name in the entertainment industry for years now. “I've been performing since I was a child, so I never thought at the age of 31 I would be hearing the words ‘rising star’ again, so I wanted to start by thanking my two friends: Botox and Juvederm,” she hilariously said.

Grande later revealed while speaking to Entertainment Tonight that she’s “four years clean” from Botox, wanting to remain transparent as a cosmetics brand founder. The multi-talented celeb founded R.E.M. Beauty in 2021.
