Ariana Grande Channels Glinda in All-Pink Burberry for ‘Wicked’ Sydney Arrival

The magic of Oz touched down in Sydney as Ariana Grande made a graceful arrival at the airport, shielding her eyes from the Australian sun while channeling her character Glinda's signature aesthetic in a head-to-toe pink ensemble.

The Grammy-winning artist styled a fitted pale pink ribbed knit polo with a matching pleated kilt, creating an elegant yet travel-appropriate silhouette. Her carefully chosen accessories included a pink studded Versace trunk shoulder bag and Burberry's iconic Check bowling bag, featuring the house's distinctive pattern. Burberry Check Baby pumps completed the coordinated look, while her signature high ponytail and natural makeup maintained her characteristic polish despite the long-haul flight.

The Sydney touchdown marks a significant moment for both the film and its stars, particularly Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater, whose relationship began during the movie's production. The couple, who confirmed their romance in July 2023, has recently been more open about their connection. In an interview with GQ, Slater expressed pride in Grande's performance: "I'm just really, really proud of Ari and the work she's done on this. She's poured herself into it."

The first installment of the two-part "Wicked" adaptation is set to premiere this November, bringing the untold story of Oz's witches to the screen. Based on the beloved Broadway musical, the film promises to explore the complex friendship between Glinda and Elphaba, offering a new perspective on the classic "Wizard of Oz" tale.

With this sophisticated arrival in Sydney, the cast has set the tone for what promises to be a captivating press tour, where fashion choices seem poised to tell their own story alongside the film's narrative. While Grande's pink ensemble pays homage to Glinda's signature style, it also demonstrates how the line between character and actor can artfully blur during such significant professional moments.
