During a conversation with Variety, Ariana Grande revealed the inspiration behind her outfit, paying homage to an iconic aspect of her blockbuster film and the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz.” “It’s yellow because ‘follow the yellow brick road,’” she explained, alluding to a famous line from the 1939 film. Grande further elaborated, stating, “And it’s one of Glinda’s favorite colors and here we are!”
Sporting her trademark high ponytail with her bangs slicked to the side, Grande completed her look with a Golden Globes statue, hinting at her aspirations to clinch the prestigious award on Jan. 5. She has been nominated for her performance in “Wicked” in the category of best performance by a female actor in a supporting role.
Competing against talents like Selena Gomez (“Emilia Pérez”), Felicity Jones (“The Brutalist”), Margaret Qualley (“The Substance”), Isabella Rossellini (“Conclave”), and Zoe Saldaña (“Emilia Pérez”), Grande expressed her gratitude and astonishment upon learning of her nomination last month. Taking to her Instagram story, she shared a heartfelt message, exclaiming, “Oh my goodness oh my goodness… I am floored and honored to be recognized by members of the @goldenglobes. Crying (of course)… It’s impossible to find my words, but I am simply so deeply grateful for this acknowledgement.”
