Ariana Grande brought a magical touch of ethereal glamour to the iconic yellow brick road at the Mexico City premiere of “Wicked,” donning a breathtaking custom creation from Atelier Versace. The star, who plays Glinda in the eagerly awaited film adaptation, embodied the character's whimsical charm and radiant spirit in a show-stopping gown that shimmered under the spotlight.
The custom-designed floor-length dress exemplifies the Versace atelier’s craftsmanship, featuring iridescent chiffon that captures light with every graceful movement. The gown’s architectural construction includes precise boning that creates a defined hourglass silhouette, while a dramatic deep V-neckline adds a modern sophistication to the otherwise romantic design.
However, the most striking feature of the dress is its voluminous layered skirt, crafted from delicate, diaphanous fabric that creates a floating effect as Grande walks the premiere’s custom yellow carpet. The gown’s ethereal quality is a perfect tribute to Glinda’s character, whose association with light, magic, and innocence is mirrored in the shimmering fabric and billowing silhouette.
To complete the enchanting look, Grande wore Versace’s Gianni Ribbon Satin Platform Sandals, maintaining the outfit’s dreamlike aesthetic while adding an elevated, contemporary touch.
The premiere's backdrop, adorned with mechanical gears and spring flowers, paid homage to the world of Oz with its distinctive blend of industrial elements and magical themes. Grande’s outfit, with its iridescent glow and dramatic flair, seemed to embody the delicate balance between the fantastical and the grounded—just as Glinda’s character does in the story.
Grande's appearance at the premiere was not just a fashion moment, but a celebration of her role in one of the year’s most anticipated films. As she walked the carpet, the gown’s layers rippled like a breath of fresh air, casting a spell on all who witnessed it.
