Ariana Grande Glinda-fied her latest late night talk show look to promote “Wicked: For Good” and discuss her “Saturday Night Live” hosting stint, wearing a custom Paolo Sebastian dress for her Thursday night appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” in New York City.

The Oscar-nominated actress and singer wore a ballerina pink ballgown with a soft asymmetric neckline and layered tulle throughout. The silhouette featured a form-fitting bodice with button detailing running down the front placket, along with off-the-shoulder straps crafted of layered tulle.

At the drop waist of the frock, Grande’s gown flowed into a full tulle skirt, wholly evoking the Paul Tazewell-designed costumes worn by Grande as Glinda in the two “Wicked” films. As for accessories, Grande wore a delicate pearl necklace and coordinated earrings to complement her dress. Pointed-toe heels completed the “Positions” singer’s ensemble.

When it came to glam, hairstylist Alyx Liu coiffed Grande’s brunette hair into a slicked back bun. Her makeup, by artist Michael Anthony, went mostly minimalist with soft brows, lightly lined eyes and a glossy lip as standout elements. Image architect and stylist Law Roach curated Grande’s “Late Night” look.

Unlike her first “Wicked” promotional tour in 2024, Grande’s “Wicked: For Good” wardrobe has seen variations on Glinda-inspired pink looks along with more subdued elegant pieces, including a callback to “The Wizard of Oz” costume designer Gilbert Adrian, aka Adrian Adolph Greenburg. Grande wore a black gown circa 1952 from the designer to the “Wicked: For Good” London premiere in November.

Method dressing, when artists take inspiration from the projects they’re promoting to inform their wardrobe, has been a major trend for both Grande and her “Wicked” costar Cynthia Erivo throughout their respective time doing press for the two films. While Grande has favored variations on pink, Erivo has worn green and black attire in styles by Givenchy, Schiaparelli and Balenciaga, among other labels and fashion houses, all curated by stylist Jason Bolden.

Nominated for five Golden Globe Awards, “Wicked: For Good” chronicles the tumultuous relationship between Glinda, The Good Witch of the North, played by Grande, and Elphaba, The Wicked Witch of the West, played by Erivo, as Dorothy Gale crash lands in Oz. The film, an adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name, is now in theaters.
