Like Beyoncé or Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande bases her personal aesthetic on the overarching themes of her life. The pop star color-coordinates her wardrobe to match her latest album, acting project, or hair color. Recently, that has meant powder pink and pastels, which play off both her Wicked character and newly-blonde hair.
During a trip to Tokyo, however, the pop star partially abandoned her girly-girl aesthetic, in favor of a normcore staple beloved by all. On Feb. 18, Grande touched down in Japan, following a layover in London for the British Academy Film Awards, earlier this week. She was photographed in her airport best, wearing an ankle-length puffer coat in classic black.
