Grande’s outfit gives a nod to her character Galinda, and the structured dress juts out sharply from her waist and then falls straight to the ground.
Grande’s stylist Mimi Cuttrell shared on social media that the dress has about 190,000 crystals. As for her makeup, she wore her brand, r.e.m. beauty, in a look created by Michael Anthony. It’s not a traditional gown but something unique, and even though it’s a mystery how she’d sit in that outfit, the pink blush tone fits her well.
