Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber have been sweeping all headlines after their latest track, ‘Stuck With U’ dropped. So, we thought we’d take the celebrations a step forward with a look at Ariana Grande’s style evolution over the years. From tiny skirts and frocks to frilly gowns – she’s done it all. We already gave you a taste of Demi Lovato’s style evolution over the years. So, now, that being said, let’s look at Ariana’s glow up in terms of fashion choices over the years. (2011-2020)

1. Ariana Grande arrives at the Los Angeles Premiere “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on February 8, 2011. Ahh this was bang in the middle of her Nickelodeon days, where she starred in the show, ‘Victorious’. It looks like she enjoyed the red hair too. This fit is adorable, looks a lot like a Prom dress, doesn’t it?

2. Ariana Grande attended KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball 2012 at Nokia Theatre LA Live on December 3, 2012. Green and Gold – a colour combo that never fails to deliver.This one’s a very interesting choice, particularly the gold embroidery. She looks elegant, well, despite the adorable baby face. It didn’t take long to grow out of that though.

In terms of style, of course. She’s always had a fondness for tiny skirts and boy, there ain’t nobody who can pull it off the way she does.

4. Ariana Grande performed during the MTV EMA’s 2014 at The Hydro on November 9, 2014 in Glasgow, Scotland. It also looks like she just stepped out of a UFO. This shade of grey looks a tad bit dull on her, but who are we to complain when her vocals are just that heavenly.

5. Ariana Grande performed onstage at Madison Square Garden on March 20, 2015 in New York City. And finally, the classic cat-eared headband makes an appearance. May we also avert your attention to her heart-shaped top. Hmmm, cute and clever.

6. Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj perform on stage during the 2016 MTV Music Video Awards at Madison Square Garden on August 28, 2016. Would you look at that? Bubblegum Pink Ariana. It also looks like she’s rocking the fanciest, silk set of pyjamas.

7. Ariana Grande performs “No Tears Left To Cry” on May 1, 2018 at the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Mhmm, the tiny Tutu has arrived. We’ll give it to her, that’s a brave fit.

8. Ariana Grande performed with The Roots on December 18, 2018. May we also inform you that this is definitely Ariana’s second favourite outfit: the oversized hoodie. It’s simple. Some might call it lazy, but if Ari says it’s fashion then this debate is over.

9. Ariana Grande performs at Coachella during the 2019 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival. She’s out here looking like a true Disney Princess with those puffy sleeves and beaded crown- ahem-headband.

10. Ariana Grande attends the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards at STAPLES Center on January 26, 2020. Speaking of turning into a princess, with those frills she’s doing complete justice to the role. Also, what a glow up. The baby face is gone. The winged liner is on point. And this time, that grey’s somehow makin’ her light up the whole room.
