The fashion of American singer, songwriter, and actress Ariana Grande has impacted pop culture and set trends in fashion. Grande has cited Audrey Hepburn as a style influence, as well as being inspired by actresses in the 1950s, including Ann-Margret and Marilyn Monroe.
2010s fashion and style
Around the time of release of Grande's second studio album, My Everything (2014), she often sported cat ears through the mid-2010s as well as short skirts and crop tops. Petra Guglielmetti of Glamour remarked it as Grande's "signature" and mentioned the spike in cat-ear headband sales from brands such as Kate Spade. During the promotion of her third studio album, Dangerous Woman (2016), Grande switched from cat ears to frequently wearing bunny ears and a latex bunny mask. Following the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, fans of Grande combined bunny ears associated with her with awareness ribbons as a tribute symbol.
From 2018 to 2019, Grande frequently wore oversized hoodies in public, pairing them with thigh-high boots reminiscent of street style. She later explained that her laid-back style at the time was due to her mental health struggles depriving her of the mental energy to plan complex outfits.
2020s fashion and style While promoting the film Wicked (2024), in which Grande was cast as Glinda, she drew inspiration from the character as part of method acting, as well as old Hollywood glamor from actresses such as Audrey Hepburn to embrace an ultra-feminine style mainly consistent with a pink color palette.
