Ariana Grande Sports Two of 2026’s Biggest Hair Trends at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards

As a leading nominee this awards season, Wicked: For Good star Ariana Grande is bound to deliver plenty of statement looks over the next few months, as she continues her best-supporting-actress campaign. But if you thought that would mean she is shedding her love for Glinda pink in the process, you are mistaken: The star embraced method dressing once again at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica this evening, wearing her character’s signature hue.

In promoting both Wicked films, Grande has been consistent in her devotion to wearing Glinda pink: She has sported many princess gowns that nod to the sugary-sweet wardrobe that she sports onscreen. At the Critics Choice Awards tonight, she leaned on Alberta Ferretti to keep that momentum going, sporting a custom off-the-shoulder gown in pink satin by the label, draped in an embroidered full-length cape. But her beauty? That was all OG Ariana.
