Ariana Grande Is the It Girl of Awards Season—10 of Her Best Looks (So Far)
From where I sit, it seems to be pretty good to be Ariana Grande right now. Since receiving a slew of well-deserved nominations for her role as Glinda in Wicked, Grande has been a fixture on red carpets around the world, dressed impeccably for each. Grande and stylist Mimi Cuttrell (if anyone knows how to style an It girl, it's her) have stayed true to the whimsical, magical, ethereal theme of the film and Glinda herself, opting for a mix of frothy yet modern dresses from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Givenchy (to name a few) that Glinda would certainly feel right at home in, along with sleek, high-fashion looks from labels like Loewe and Khaite, and a few jaw-dropping vintage pieces from the archives.
Grande has dozens of epic looks for the many awards season-related events thus far, so when I say it was very difficult to narrow it down for the purpose of this story, I'm not exaggerating. But narrow it down I did. We still have the SAG Awards and Oscars (among others) in the pipeline, so surely some of her best looks are yet to come, but I honestly don't know how it could get much better than some of the ones she's already worn. Read on to see what I mean and to shop her pretty awards season aesthetic.
BAFTA Film Awards
Grande has been wearing lots of sculptural Louis Vuitton pieces, as you'll see as you read on. This one for the BAFTAs featured a sleek top half to balance out the ornate bustled skirt.

If this Glinda-coded gown—another Louis Vuitton creation—makes you want to go out and buy something in mint green satin, we're on the same page.

The Academy Women's Luncheon presented by CHANEL
Fittingly, Grande wore head-to-toe Chanel to a Chanel event. The chic, modern look felt different for her amongst all of her ornate recent looks, and she looked just as cool and comfortable as she does in the sculptural gowns.
