Ariana Grande isn’t just promoting Wicked—she’s making every red carpet her personal runway. And let’s be real, her stylist Mimi Cuttrell is working overtime to make sure she eats every single look. At the Tokyo premiere, Ari took her method dressing to a whole new level, stepping out in a Louis Vuitton gown that was giving ethereal fairy princess, but make it high fashion.
Glinda, but Make It Couture
Ariana’s press tour fashion has been nothing short of iconic, pulling inspo straight from her Wicked character, Glinda. But in Tokyo, she gave it a cultural twist. She floated onto the red carpet in a strapless Louis Vuitton gown designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, featuring a minimalist silhouette with a dramatic, billowing skirt. It was simple, elegant, and just the right amount of main character energy.
The real star of the show? That cherry blossom headpiece. A nod to Japan’s beloved sakura season, Ariana’s Philip Treacy headdress turned her into a walking piece of art.
Cherry blossoms symbolize hope and new beginnings, which feels pretty fitting for her Wicked era. Pair that with dazzling Niwaka jewelry—think slinky necklace, sparkly earrings, and a statement ring—and you’ve got a look that’s pure magic.
Mimi Cuttrell’s Styling Era Is Unmatched
Let’s give it up for Mimi Cuttrell, the mastermind behind these looks. Whether it’s a vintage Givenchy moment or a custom couture slay, Mimi is making sure Ariana’s Wicked press tour is a moment.
The Tokyo premiere was no different—every detail was flawless. The sleek bun (courtesy of Gabor Kerekes), the soft glam with r.e.m. beauty (Michael Anthony, you did that), and the seamless styling? 10/10, no notes.
Ariana Grande at a premiere is never just an appearance—it’s a full production. And thanks to Mimi Cuttrell, the Wicked press tour has officially entered its fashion history era.
