Ariana Grande channels Glinda’s pink bubble in custom Balenciaga gown
Ariana Grande has returned to her signature pink Glinda-inspired style.
While in Singapore celebrating the release of “Wicked: For Good,” Grande slipped into a custom Balenciaga creation designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli.
The pale pink look is strapless, covered in sparkling sequins of various sizes and oversized paillettes.
The outfit appears to be two separate pieces, though this is unconfirmed. The top features a peplum shape that mimics a bubble hem, with a bow at the back and a skirt that cascades into a train.
The peplum bubble silhouette is reminiscent of the design house’s spring 2026 collection, though no dress even remotely similar to Grande’s was presented — it’s a true Glinda-inspired original.
Grande posted a few snaps of the look to Instagram, writing, “hello & i love you Singapore ♡ 🫧 @pppiccioli @balenciaga.”
Piccioli shared a behind-the-scenes image from their fitting to his Instagram stories, with Grande holding up the front of the gown, revealing the back still crafted in white.
Grande works with image architect Law Roach, who has helped her curate an epic press tour collection.
Grande has spent the last few events wearing vintage, choosing a look from “The Wizard of Oz” costume designer Gilbert Adrian in London and a 1950s vintage look with bright red rosettes in Paris.
In the last two weeks alone, the multi-talented performer has also worn vintage Bob Mackie, custom Robert Wun and another vintage Gilbert Adrian look.
Following Singapore, the cast will travel back to the USA for the New York City premiere next week, marking the end of this tour that has delivered such sartorial greatness around the globe.
