Ariana Grande looked as if she was getting back into character as Glinda the Good Witch when she arrived in an opulent white gown at the 2024 WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old singer and actress showed off the stunning strapless item on the red carpet, as well as some of her many tattoos, including a recently inked image of her Wicked character on the back of her hand.
Ariana displayed her particularly petite figure at the awards ceremony after her fans began voicing concerns about her appearance and weight on social media in recent weeks.
Joining the blond beauty at the show was her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo, and the two had a sweet reunion on the red carpet.
Ariana was decked out in a luminous white Vivienne Westwood gown with an old-fashioned skirt that flared out dramatically at her hips.

The off-the-shoulder gown featured a trim bodice with intricate, shimmering embroidery in floral designs, which continued down to her shoe-length skirt.
It featured a puffy tulle layer around her hips to create the dramatic shape, while the rest of the skirt featured more translucent layers that draped straight down, revealing her fit legs.
Ariana paired the dress with a lustrous set of pointy white stilettos that elevated her 5ft stature.
She stuck with the blond hair she had worn lately, and she had it wrapped up into an elegant bun, which put the spotlight on her impeccably made-up face.
The Thank U, Next singer completed her stunning look with thick diamond strands wrapped around her neck, along with rows of gleaming earrings.
Ariana’s dress perfectly fit her character Glinda in Wicked, and her costar Cynthia took the same approach by wearing a green dress, which would have suited her green-skinned character Elphaba.
The look, part of Erdem’s Spring 2024 ready-to-wear collection, according to People, featured a shiny emerald green skirt that was dressed down with a ribbed sweater-like gray bodice that peaked out over her chest and shoulders.
According to the publication, Ariana was seen on the red carpet kneeling down to assist Cynthia by pulling out her dress’ train to its full length after it had gotten bunched up.

Ariana’s Glinda-channeling appearance at the Innovator Awards follows recent appearances in which she and Cynthia have both worn outfits that would have suited their Wicked characters.
But the hitmaker has been dogged in recent weeks by social media posts from fans who are concerned about her particularly skinny figure.
Several have expressed fears that she may have lost an unhealthy amount of weight amid promotions for her upcoming musical adaptation.
Why is Ariana Grande super skinny in this new movie? She looks different,’ wrote one worried fan over the weekend. ‘Did she lose weight for this movie role (wicked) movie [sic]?’
Another person wrote that her alleged ‘weight loss’ was ‘starting to seem worryingly extreme,’ though Grande has not spoken publicly about her recent weight.
The songstress had ‘become painfully thin,’ opined one fan, who worried it was a sign of a return to ’90’s/00’s ultra skinny chic [sic].’
Following her appearance this season on Saturday Night Live, some fans were moved to express concern about Ariana’s appearance.
‘She’s lost so much weight, didn’t recognize her at first,’ wrote one person who was impressed with her comedic skills on X.

One fan used Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman as an example of why fans shouldn’t comment on Ariana’s figure.
Boseman raised concerns that he might be suffering from an eating disorder or undergoing a dangerous workout regimen for his Marvel films after he was pictured looking emaciated
However, fans realized that he had been secretly battling cancer after his shocking death was announced.
