Often spotted in oversized hoodies and a slick high-rise ponytail, Ariana Grande is a star, who has sung some sensational chart numbers, and created some exceptional music videos (I still remember watching the 'God is a Woman' video), and has been our 'slightly lost, but adorable' childhood friend as 'Cat Valentine' (Victorious, anyone?). Recently, the actor-singer has also ventured into the beauty industry, with her makeup line, called (r.e.m beauty) creating vegan, and cruelty-free makeup, with recyclable packaging. However, the artist seems to be on a revamp journey, where she is embracing the soft-feminine aesthetic more and more from her earlier streetwear era and her Instagram is a true testimony to that. So putting a spotlight on her re-devolped fashion sensibility, we have curated a list of five looks inspired by her that you can easily recreate, and that are fit for a range of scenarios (big parties to everyday casuals).
5 Looks Inspired By Ariana Grande That Are Not An Oversized Hoodie
Tube Top And Skirt
Styled by Jamie Mizhari, Ariana is wearing a tube top with a chequered flowy long skirt. This fit screams effortlessly chic, and the uniformity of colour and fabric looks gorgeous as well as comfortable. This look is extremely easy to replicate and is super fashionable. It can also work well as an Indo-Western look, paired with a long flowy skirt and a top with Indian handiwork. We have chosen a bandeau top from Free People, and a Abhishti flowy skirt to achieve a similar look.
Polka Dot Dress
Captured with her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo, Ariana wore this beautiful polka dot dress with a sweetheart neckline for a shoot. As everything 2000s keeps popping back, polka dots have been back in style and are great if you're going for a vintage but minimal look. Like Ariana, you can also pair it up with a pair of gloves to make it more fashionable and elevated. We have picked this printed polka dot dress from Madame that exudes similar vibes.

Corset And A Skirt
This honestly seems to be the new GenZ formal. Corsets and skirts are fairly common and make for a very chic fit. Ariana here, is styled by Mimi Cuttrell, known for styling Gigi Hadid and Kendal Jenner, and has completed this fit with ruffled leather gloves. Corsets of the right kind (not squeezing life out of you), can really amp up any fit, and pleated skirts usually pair really well with them. They are easily available and can fit in a range of budgets. We really liked this corset top from IT Girl, and the denim skirt from Cider, which will perfectly go together, as well as be versatile pieces in any closet.

Black Shimmery Dress
Ariana is famous for her shimmers and sparkle, and she really brought the house down when she wore this beautiful black silhouette on the show The Voice. She completed the whole look with her iconic ponytail, tights, heels, and a choker around the neck. Black dresses are evergreen and a staple in anyone's wardrobe; they come in many patterns and fabrics, and always prove to be a no-brainer for any special event or occasion. This black dress from IT Girl comes in up to 2XL and really gives off a similar aesthetic.

Crop Top And Jeans
Crop tops and jeans are probably the most comfortable and an everyday outfit that can be found in most closets, and we really like how Ariana paired them with the cowboy boots. She really knows how to strike a balance between glam and everyday and her basic fit is a true testimony to that. This top from Lea and jeans from ONLY, will help you achieve a similar look.
