Ariana Grande Boards the Vintage Bob Mackie Bandwagon in Carol Burnett's Exact Gown for 'Saturday Night Live'

Ariana Grande filmed SNL promos in a vintage Bob Mackie gown originally worn by Carol Burnett.

Since Saturday Night Live hosts trade one costume for another, fans rarely see the star's out-of-character looks. Filming pre-show promos, however, allows their true sartorial prowess to shine through. On December 18, this week's host, Ariana Grande, filmed SNL ads in a vintage Bob Mackie gown, originally worn by a fellow Funny Girl.

Luckily for fans, Grande's archival streak didn't end with Wicked: For Good's conclusion in late November. This time, Grande and stylist Law Roach flexed their secondhand sourcing muscles with their oldest non-Wicked-related find: a 52-year-old gown from Carol Burnett's closet. Without Grande's Instagram post, you might've though Bob Mackie crafted the halter neckline and column skirt just for her.
