Goodbye, Glinda. Ariana Grande shifted back to her signature style at the 2026 Golden Globes, opting for a custom-designed, black Vivienne Westwood dress and a brunette, high ponytail in place of the pale pink gowns and blonde locks she’d adopted during her Wicked era.

The high ponytail has long been Grande’s signature hairstyle. The choice to return to it seems fitting as she gets closer to kicking off her highly anticipated Eternal Sunshine Tour, which launches in June.
Grande was nominated for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in any motion picture for her role as Glinda in Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: For Good at Sunday night’s ceremony. (Catch up with the full list of Golden Globe nominees and winners as they’re announced here.)
Post-awards season, Grande’s also got a top-secret project in the works — “I can’t say much yet, but it’s something that inspires me deeply,” she said in an interview with Variety last week — but don’t expect the pop star/actress back in the recording studio again just yet.
“Ma’am i would need an extra brain and four more arms,” she wrote on Instagram, responding to speculation that she’s working on new music ahead of her summer tour, for which she’ll begin rehearsals soon.
As of Sunday, Wicked: For Good has grossed $522.3 million worldwide in its first eight weeks at the boxoffice. That stat has the movie currently landing at No. 3 on Billboard’s list of the top-grossing films that are adapted from Broadway musicals.
