The secret meaning behind Ariana Grande's new Oscars tattoo .

It's the biggest night in the award season calendar, and the 97th Academy Awards are well underway. The A-listers have gathered at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where they've already started to walk the Oscars 2025 red carpet. While the ceremony doesn't kick off until around midnight GMT, we've already seen some of the stars and nominees showing off their impeccable Oscars style; Cynthia Erivo is stunning in a black Louis Vuitton gown, Selena Gomez is radiant in Ralph Lauren, and Raye is oozing Hollywood glamour in Vivienne Westwood.

One of the most talked about dresses of the night - yes, already - is Ariana Grande's unreal structured Schiaparelli gown. However, there is another detail in her outfit that many have overlooked. The Wicked star, who is nominated at the 2025 Oscars in the Best Supporting Actress category, was photographed posing on the red carpet looking over her shoulder, drawing attention to a small black tattoo.
