Ariana Grande arrived at the Red Carpet in a “heavenly” gown that fans feel is “so on brand” for her.
The “yes, and?” singer’s custom Loewe dress by Jonathan Anderson consists of a corset made with Mother of Pearl – the June-Cancer’s birthstone – that ties in the back with an exaggerated bow, with a fabric belt that bleeds into the flowing, ruffled skirt.
She paired the delicate look with fairy-like wings on the sides of her eyes with a slicked back ponytail that contributes to her otherworldly outfit.
Other notable looks include Jennifer Lopez’s shimmering Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown and Emma Chamberlain’s gothic black lace Paul Jean Gaultier gown.

Ariana told Vogue that the dress was an homage to her role as Glinda in the film adaptation of Wicked.
“This is actual Mother of Pearl made by Loewe – cJonathan Anderson’s vision for this was to have me in Mother of Pearl, which is coincidentally my birthstone,” she said, referencing her corset top. “I loved the tie-in of opulence of the hues of pink and green for Glinda’s bubble fight in Wicked.”
“I think it’s just the perfect thing – pearl’s are made in just the most unexpected of ways,” she continued. “You never know what beautiful things you’ll find in unexpected places.”
