Watch: Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Look Wickedly Amazing on Stage Together!

Ariana Grande's enchanting look at the 2024 Oscars will put a spell on you.

The Wicked actress made a dazzling entrance at the 96th Academy Awards on March 10, as she brought a fashion fantasy to the ceremony. (See every glamorous star arrival here.) 

For the awards show, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, Ariana ruled the red carpet in a larger-than-life strapless pink gown by Giambattista Valli Haute Couture.

The whimsical dress featured a body-hugging ruched design and a voluminous skirt attachment that looked as fluffy and soft as a duvet cover.

And no detail went unnoticed, either.

After all, she opted for a giant pink pendant necklace embellished with diamonds and matching earrings from Tiffany & Co. jewelry. She also kept the focus on her swoon-worthy dress, opting for simple blush-colored makeup and a prom-like updo with curly strands.

But Ariana's stunning style isn't the only thing worth noting, as she'll be presenting an Oscar award tonight.

Ariana didn't just channel her Wicked character Glinda at the Oscars, she also shared details of what fans can expect from the upcoming film adaptation of the musical.

"Oh my God. Everything," she told pregnant Vanessa Hudgens during ABC's The Oscars Red Carpet Show. "There's no possible way to answer that question. I enjoyed every single minute of every day. I learned so much from our incredible cast and crew, and Cynthia Erivo."

Luckily, fans don't have to wait for Ariana's onscreen performance for new music. Her swoon-worthy Oscars appearance comes just two days after she released her highly anticipated album Eternal Sunshine, which marks her first album in five years.

The pop star—whose breakup with ex-husband Dalton Gomez was revealed shortly before her romance with Wicked costar Ethan Slater—hinted that her new music is a mix of fact and fiction.

"Pieces of it touch on things that are real and then pieces of it are also just..part of the concept," she said on the Feb. 26 episode of The Zach Sang Show. "So what is that separation? And it's so scary to leave it up to these selective memory people to decipher. It's scary. But I digress. It's too late, the vinyls have been printed."

Although the Grammy winner would love to shut down the speculation surrounding her new relationship, she explained there wasn't enough time to get "into any specifics."

"But of course," she continued, "there's an insatiable frustration, inexplicable, hellish feeling with watching people misunderstand the people you love, and you and anything."

One thing about her new album is clear, she's back and better than ever.

And while Ariana didn't miss a beat with her Oscars fashion, she's not the only star to hit all of the right notes. Keep reading to see every fabulous red carpet moment.
