Ariana Grande Shares Wicked Behind-The-Scenes Pic And Rocks Fringy Pink Tank Top
While posing for photos with Cynthia Erivo (who will star alongside Grande in the 2024 live action Wicked musical film), the Grammy winner rocked a rosy pink top with thin straps, and fringe adorning the hemline. The piece is from New York City-based brand The Bar, specifically the label’s ‘Elio Top in Rose,’ as pointed out by eagle-eyed fans.
Grande wore her hair up into a slicked back ponytail, and the R.E.M. Beauty mogul went for subtle black eyeliner and a glossy pink lip for her makeup look. To accessorize, she added shiny and delicate dangly earrings. Erivo, 36, wore a black sweatshirt and a lime green hoodie and donned oversized green glasses.
“I saw her a couple of months ago, we’ve been FaceTiming and talking,” Cynthia Erivo tells Variety of working with #Wicked co-star Ariana Grande. “I get to speak to her a lot now. We’re gonna be in each other’s lives for a bit.” https://t.co/PG8OszBTvC pic.twitter.com/Y33vxiX4lL

What We Know About Grande’s Wicked Role, So Far
The highly anticipated John M. Chu-directed Wicked movie will also star Oscar nominee Erivo and Bridgerton alum Jonathan Bailey. It is set for a December 24, 2024 release date.
Grande, as fans will know, has long loved the character of Glinda from watching stage productions of the modern classic Broadway musical, even tweeting in 2011, “Loved seeing Wicked again… amazing production! Made me realize again how badly I want 2 play Glinda at some point in my life! #DreamRole.”
Luckily for Grande, Chu announced in April 2022 that the big screen adaptation will have not one, but two films splitting the material, with the first premiering in December of 2024, and the second ideally arriving one year later, in December 2025.

In a May 2022 Q&A video posted to her beauty YouTube channel, Grande opened up about choosing to play her dream role rather than to focus on a new album or upcoming music, telling her fans, “The truth is, I have not begun an album.” She added that instead, she “went into full preparation mode” to score the role of Glinda.
She went on, “I know the material like the back of my hand, but I still have so much to learn.” Grande continued, “I went pretty hard getting ready.” The former Voice coach noted that she’s giving “every piece of me, every minute, every ounce of my heart, my time, my everything that I can give it … I am spending all my time with Glinda.” (We’re marking our calendars for 2024!)
