2026 is the year of fashion music videos, according to my favorite pop stars. First, Sabrina Carpenter revived the hot pants trend in "House Tour." Soon after, Olivia Rodrigo styled one of Jane Birkin's dresses for "Drop Dead." On June 1, Ariana Grande set her new era in motion with the prettiest lemon yellow dress in her "hate that i made you love me" music video.
Grande has Steven Spielberg-level aspirations for her music videos—releasing five-minute films with detailed sets, costumes, and storytelling. This time around, she haunts her fictional boyfriend, played by Justin Long, after he buries her underground. Not a single speck of dirt stained her custom tea-length dress from Danish label AKNVAS, though.
