Give Ariana Grande Her Flowers for This Vintage Deep Dive Dress
Lilli Diamond is a classic vintage label to know—and Ariana Grande and her stylist Law Roach are tapped in.
Popular through the ’50s, the stylish, feminine, and luxurious designs of Lilli Diamond delight in signature embellishments, fitted bodices, and hoop style skirts. Stepping out in Paris for the Wicked: For Good premiere, Grande wore a Lilli Diamond dress and coat ensemble sourced by the celebrity open secret vintage haven Timeless Vixen, who specialize in such era-defining couture.
Timeless Vixen is the source for looks like Winona Ryder’s Yohji Yamamoto set at the Stranger Things fifth season premiere, and Kylie Jenner’s Elizabeth Hurley moment in a chain Versace gown for The Golden Globes.
“I started collecting over 25 years ago, and have accumulated one of the best 1950s collections,” says founder Lauren Lepire. “I’ve had this particular set in my archive for about a decade, waiting for the perfect opportunity to put her in the spotlight.” That moment arrived with Grande.
The ’50s dress is black and fitted, with spaghetti straps, a close-fit bodice, and arpeggiated a-line skirt, a hot pink satin lining, and row of blooming pink flowers across the bust. The matching black and pink coat added to the ultra-feminine, whimsical look. Grande wore her now-ashy brunette hair in an elegant braided bun with wispy side pieces, with a slick of eyeliner and black mascara, her glam finished by a glossy, rose pink lip. This is it: method dressing is so back.
