Ariana Grande notoriously went blonde for her Wicked transformation, but now, it looks like she’s returning to her roots.

The pop singer recently shared some new photos of her busy life as she promotes the follow-up movie musical, and in several pictures, it looks like she’s gone back to a slightly darker hair shade than the super light, Glinda blonde she’s been rocking in honor of her dream role. Once fans caught a glimpse of her look, they showed her a lot of love in the comments, getting super excited for the upcoming film. Read more about her transformation below.

Ariana Grande Debuts A Darker Hair Color In Her Latest Instagram Post

Right now, the pop singer is in the spotlight more than ever, as not only did she create some buzz by announcing her latest world tour, but she is also in the thick of promoting her exciting new film project, Wicked: For Good, the second part of the legendary musical film adaptation based on the famous Broadway show.

Ariana already received tons of praise for her performance as the bubbly, blonde, ‘good witch,’ Glinda, including several prestigious award nominations for the first film. Now, she’s working hard to promote the second one, hoping the finale generates as much buzz as last year. One of the ways she’s been keeping her fans and followers excited for the finale film is by sharing a lot of behind-the-scenes content on social media, especially via Instagram ‘photo dumps.’

In one of her latest collages on the app, the “Twilight Zone” singer shared pictures of herself in Glinda gear as she announced a Wicked concert special on NBC, and rocking what looked like a darker hair color than what she’s previously been photographed with.

“Let us rejoicify!” she wrote. “Wicked: One Wonderful Night concert airs November 6th on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock.”

Fans React To Ariana's New Pictures And Hair Color In The Comments Section

Once Ariana shared her new photos on Instagram, her fans immediately began pouring out support for not only the upcoming movie but also her hair color. For the past year, she's been a blonde, taking a bit of her role as Glinda into her everyday life. However, now, the shade seems to be a darker, more dirty blonde, hinting that once the promo for the next Wicked movie is over, she might go back to her dark brown roots.

 

Either way, her fans were thrilled to see her looking happy as she enters a new era of what she's declared to be her dream movie-musical role. One fan wrote that Ariana is looking "absolutely magical," as another commented that she was "spectacular."

 

"Isn't she wonderful?!" added a fan.

 

"Wonderful things are happening," wrote another.

 

We're very excited to see what else the award-winning singer has in store as fans count down the day for the upcoming musical film, which is set to debut in theaters on November 21st.
