Ariana Grande Is Simply Wonderful in Critics Choice Awards 2026 Red Carpet Look
Ariana Grande returned to her natural dark hair shade with an Elizabethan-inspired updo, complementing her Glinda pink gown at the Critics Choice Awards, her stylist said.
- On Jan. 4, Ariana Grande arrived at the Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica wearing a pink-and-white full-length Alberta Ferretti gown and returned to a richer, warm darker hair shade credited to Brandon Pietsch.
- The Critics Choice appearance supports Ariana Grande's 2026 awards-season campaign around a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Wicked: For Good before she begins her Eternal Sunshine tour.
- Combining two trends, longtime hairstylist Alyx Liu styled Grande's lengths into a curly Elizabethan-esque updo with side-swept bangs.
- Her custom Ferretti gown showcased embroidered full-length cape and sheer polka-dot chiffon, with silver floral appliqués matching Swarovski crystal earrings while Grande kept accessories minimal with a French-tip manicure.
- Ariana Grande said, `For them to finally be getting the full picture and to know the secrets we've known all along`, expressing excitement and reflecting on lessons in her Nov. 21 Instagram post.
