Ariana Grande knows how to make an impression, whether by her performances or her stylistic choices. Guest for the third time to animate Saturday Night Live Last weekend, she took the opportunity to display a wardrobe that breathes both the glamor and the sense of the show. The artist has sported a signed vintage magenta dress Thierry Mugler, from the fall/winter 1982 collection. With its structured corset and its characteristic bubble skirt, this historical outfit echoes the theatrical approach of the original parade, immortalized by Pat Cleveland.

But fashion was not the only point of interest during this episode. Ariana Grande also amused the public by interpreting a parody of the song Espresso of Sabrina Carpenter. If Carpenter fans were shared on this comic performance, the exchange between the two singers on Instagram quickly dissipated the misunderstandings. Ariana, warmly thanking Sabrina Carpenter, demonstrated that an alleged rivalry could give way to real camaraderie between artists. A fine example of elegance, not only on stage, but also behind the scenes.

For her appearance on SNL, Ariana also shone in a pink tulle dress Rodarte, directly inspired by his character of Glinda in Wicked. The vaporous steering wheel and the satin ribbon at the waist recalled fairy tales, while bringing a resolutely haute couture touch. Ariana Grande thus proves, once again, that her influence goes far beyond the framework of music, to extend to that of fashion, where she handles vintage with disconcerting modernity.
