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.
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.”
