Ariana Grande's Most Memorable Beauty Moments

Before Grande was known for her famous ponytail hairstyle, she rocked her long red locks throughout the early 2010s during her role as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon's Victorious. Though the singer later abandonded the color for more natural hues, the style remains a formative beauty era in the singer's career.

At the VMAs, the singer opted for a crimped version of her signature hairstyle. Complete with envious fringe bangs, the textured hair moment worked flawlessly with Grande's neutral makeup and black ensemble.

While performing during the March For Our Lives rally—a student-led demonstration in support of gun control legislation—the singer debuted a blonde, low ponytail. The hairstyle was a stark departure from Grande's usual darker brown high hairstyle but was accompanied by an oversized sweatshirt—a ready-to-wear favorite of the singer. 

For the annual event, Grande sported an intricate Sistine Chapel inspired Vera Wang gown. The singer's flowing beige hair bow was a perfect addition to the natural beauty look and made for a memorable moment during the famed event.

"God is a Woman" was an instant hit, both lyrically and visually. Throughout the video, Grande transformed into different archetypes that carried out the overarching message of the empowering song. Here, the singer became a living work of art through a pastel beauty look that streaked across her face, body, and hair.

"You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it." During the flashy music video, Grande sported an icy wardrobe and beauty look while singing her 2019 hit. To complement her bright pink space buns, Grande wore crystalized hair accessories, earrings, and jewelry throughout the video.

Grande stunned in a Zac Posen ball gown during the 2019 Grammys. The powder blue gown was a major Cinderella reference and was tied together with a stunning diamond necklace and a wavy high-ponytail.

This roundup would not be complete without mention of the iconic Giambattista Valli gown. For the 2020 Grammy Awards, the singer sported the powder grey ensemble with a paired-down smokey eye to match. Of course, Grande wore her iconic ponytail with an oh-so '70s flair.

Accompanying Grande's latest hit single, the songstress sported a '70s updo with a coordinating beauty look that consisted of graphic lines and pops of color. Completing the iconic look, Grande wore a light pink mini dress and purple opera gloves.

In the singer's mega collaboration with Lady Gaga, Grande sported a graphic silver eyeliner that was a huge hit across social media. The icey vibe of the makeup fit perfectly within the aesthetic of the futuristic video and made for a beauty and music match made in heaven. 

Promoting new products from her beauty line, r.e.m. beauty, Grande's newest blonde hair look entered the chat along with glowing fairy wings for eyeliner, and her "on your collar" lip gloss. With over 3 million likes on Instagram, Grande killed the whimsical and ethereal fairy look. 

Along with the iconic Jennifer Hudson, Grande did a surprise performance at Mariah Carey's New York show, as part of her "Merry Christmas One and All" tour. The trio sang "Oh Santa!'

Social media went crazy for Ariana's sleek red ruby look, from the shoes to her lips, with a slicked back classic pony. 

Yet again, Grande doesn't disappoint with the newest music video to her latest single, "Yes, And?" 

With a choreographed number and a Rodarte bodysuit, Grande keeps her signature bold eyeliner look. We can't wait to see what else Grande has in store for this new music era. 

After releasing her 7th album, Eternal Sunshine (a concept album based off the 2004 science fiction romance film with the same name), Grande performed on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest on March 9, 2024, wearing clothing that also references the film. Her beauty look featured a half-up, half-down ponytail (her hair blonde due to her upcoming role as Glinda in the upcoming movie musical, Wicked) and a flowery graphic white eye, paired with a natural peachy gloss on her lips.
