Ariana Grande wouldn't stray from Glinda's pink-centric color palette for just any look. She'll make an exception, though, when her stylist Law Roach tracks down an original gown by Gilbert Adrian, the costume designer of the originalThe Wizard of Oz.
On November 10, theWicked: For Good cast gathered in London to premiere the highly-anticipated sequel. Grande set aside Glinda-ified glamour for the occasion, trading in bubblegum pink for Elphaba's signature shade. It wasn't just any black dress, though: The one-shoulder ballgown, dated to 1952, was designed by Adrian, the man behind the iconic costumes of many films, including The Wizard of Oz. Roach sourced it from Lily et Cie, a vintage boutique in West Hollywood (where Zendaya purchased her second 2024 Met Gala look). The piece of fashion history looked good as new, from the singular tulle shoulder to the bubble-hem tiers down the skirt. A ruffled satin underlay revealed itself as Grande walked.
