Just five nights before the Oscars 2025, Ariana Grande and 171 other nominees touched down at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in LA for an intimate dinner. Grande, who was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in Wicked Part One, was dressed in a vintage Yves Saint Laurent dress.
The 31-year-old multihyphenate dug into the archives for a black gown with feather-like detailing on the neckline. The gown also featured a sheer skirt which draped to the floor. The ribbon detail on the waist rounded up the chic design. Grande’s hair was styled in an elegant updo. Her nude makeup consisted of soft blush and nude lips.
