Ariana Grande Channels Glinda in Custom Atelier Versace at ‘Wicked’ Screening

At the DGA Theatre screening of 'Wicked', Ariana Grande embodied her character Glinda's theatrical origins through a considered Atelier Versace creation. The custom design draws direct inspiration from the Broadway production's opening costume, reimagined through Versace's distinctive Italian lens.

The two-piece ensemble demonstrates precision in its execution. A structured waistcoat, cut asymmetrically in heavy crepe, features the house's signature peaked lapels and gleaming Medusa button details. Its architectural form creates a dialogue with the accompanying midi skirt, where controlled volume speaks to both Versace's tailoring heritage and musical theater's penchant for dramatic silhouettes.

Grande's choice of accessories – opera gloves and the house's Medusa '95 handbag – completes the transformation from contemporary performer to modern Glinda. The result marks a sophisticated intersection of stage costume and haute couture, where theatrical heritage meets Italian craftsmanship.

This appearance continues Grande's thoughtful approach to 'Wicked' press moments, where her wardrobe choices consistently reference the musical's visual vocabulary while maintaining contemporary relevance.
