There’s a scene right at the beginning of the Wicked movie when Glinda, still off screen in her lifesized bubble, proclaims, “Let us be glad! Let us be grateful!” to the Ozian munchkins below. She’s celebrating the death of the Wicked Witch of the West, but I’m sharing a similar sentiment in response to Ariana Grande's 2025 Oscars dress. The actress just arrived at the 97th Academy Awards in a gown fit for a princess—or maybe just The Good Witch.
Grande—who is going by her full legal name, Ariana Grande-Butera, this evening—is nominated for her work as Glinda in the Best Actress in a Supporting Role category. She celebrated her nomination in a very on-theme pale pink gown with a floaty, sparkling sheer skirt and a fitted satin bodice by Schiaparelli Couture. The singer worked with longtime stylist Mimi Cuttrell to craft the look, which features at least 190,000 crystals shimmering all over the bubble-inspired skirt. Her jewels come courtesy of De Beers.
