The 2025 Golden Globes red carpet witnessed a stunning return to roots for global pop icon and actress Ariana Grande. Stepping away from the pink hues that defined her recent public appearances, Grande made a powerful statement in classic black, captivating everyone with her elegant and sophisticated look.
A Signature Style Moment
While her stunning off-shoulder black ball gown with its glimmery bodice and dramatic puff from the waist was a showstopper, it was her hairstyle that truly anchored the look. Grande, known for her iconic high ponytail, stayed true to her signature. She sported a sleek, slicked-back side part with her straight hair gathered into a high ponytail that swayed gracefully as she walked. The gown itself featured a body-hugging bodice and a single bow detail on one arm sleeve, offering a perfect blend of classic Hollywood glamour and modern chic.
Minimal Glamour and a Major Nomination
Ariana Grande complemented her dramatic outfit with minimal yet sleek makeup. A glossy pink lip shade and a hint of shimmer on her cheeks provided the finishing touches. This appearance was particularly significant as Grande scored her second consecutive Golden Globe nomination. She has been nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role as Glinda in the film 'Wicked: For Good'. This follows her nomination last year for the first 'Wicked' film, where she lost the award to Zoe Saldaña for 'Emilia Pérez'.
Facing Stiff Competition
The race for the Best Supporting Actress award was intensely competitive this year. Ariana Grande was pitted against some of the biggest names in the industry. Her fellow nominees included acclaimed actresses like Emily Blunt and Elle Fanning. Ultimately, the award was claimed by Teyana Taylor for her powerful performance in the film 'One Battle After Another'.
Grande's red carpet appearance, marking a departure from her recent 'Glinda-inspired' pink phase, was a masterclass in timeless elegance. It highlighted her style evolution while celebrating the character that has earned her critical acclaim and major award recognition two years in a row.
