As the curtain falls on the extensive Wicked: For Good press tour, Ariana Grande has saved her most significant sartorial statement for last. Throughout the global promotional run, the star has engaged in 'method dressing,' channeling her character Glinda through an array of pink, sparkly, and voluminous ensembles, but her final look is a genuine piece of fashion history that critics and fans alike are calling 'museum-worthy.'
The gown in question is a rare archival piece from Givenchy, specifically the final look from Hubert de Givenchy's last-ever Haute Couture collection, which debuted in Autumn/Winter 1995. Its selection serves as a poignant double farewell: a tribute to a legendary designer's final bow and a symbolic goodbye to Grande's time promoting the first chapter of the Wicked saga.
