Ariana Grande Is A Vivienne Westwood Princess For The 'Wicked' Premiere

On Saturday night, Ariana Grande stunned on the Wicked premiere red carpet in a blush pink Vivienne Westwood Couture gown in Sydney, Australia. The ball gown was constructed from layers of pink tulle and covered in peach crystal details forming a Starburst form, originally drawn by Westwood and frequently seen in her collections since 2010. The bodice was constructed from a corset and had voluminous sheer sleeves that then went down to Grande’s wrists.

The skirt trailed all the way down to the floor in a cascading waterfall of fabric. The star wore her gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewellery, including a butterfly choker and diamond earrings.

Her co-star Cynthia Erivo was wearing a similarly dramatic look from Louis Vuitton. Erivo’s sleeveless black gown also trailed behind her and featured a massive bow that created a sculptural silhouette. She wore a choker of black fabric with a silver and diamond pendant at the centre. She accessorised with iridescent green sunglasses, silver earrings and statement rings, and a gorgeous green gel manicure.

The two actresses have said they’ve become quite close since they started filming Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of the hit musical. Grande appeared on the November 1 episode of Broadway Podcast Network’s Sentimental Men podcast, saying that before they were cast, they did not do a chemistry read. But, she said that they promised to 'know each other in that way, where I can just look at her and I know what she’s thinking… because without that, nothing else works.'
