Ariana Grande is revisiting some of her old fashion choices.
The “Wicked” actress sat down with Vogue to flip through 21 looks — from her first red carpet to her most recent and everything in between.
Though Grande has had many a fashion era, one of her most memorable was nearly a decade ago when she stared a trend by nearly exclusively wearing oversized sweatshirts (sans pants) and thigh-high boots.
“This was a very strange time in my life,” she shared, looking at a photo of herself leaving her old New York City apartment in a black sweatshirt, thigh high boots and a green belt bag around her waist.
“I was processing a lot, and I always wanted to hide away in something really cozy. But I remember that the boots still made me feel c—t,” she said.
Grande continued, “I genuinely, at the time, did not have the mental energy to consider clothing. So, the easiest thing for me was to throw on a sweatshirt and a c—ty boot and that was how it happened.”
It was indeed a tumultuous time for the pop star. In 2017, she was performing in Manchester, England when a bomber killed 22 and injured more than 500 people at her concert.
Of the event, she later shared, “May 22, 2017, will leave me speechless and filled with questions for the rest of my life.”
In September 2018, her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller died of an accidental overdose at the age of 26. She also had a whirlwind relationship with Pete Davidson which began in May with an engagement less than one month later — and a break up in October 2018.
Just a few months ago, Grande made a rare comment about the late rapper, sharing, “I had him to thank for finding my sound” and revealing that it was him who helped her shed her Nickelodeon character and embrace her natural brown hair; “Malcom … encouraged me to be myself.”
Grande discusses the bright red hair she sported on the channel in the new video, too.
Laughing, she jokes that she “signed over” her hair to Nickelodeon when she landed the role of Cat on “Victorious,” resulting in her bright red hue.
She also clapped back at haters of one of her other more notable features. “These are my bushy eyebrows. Look, I was figuring it out here,” she said when presented with a photo from “Victorious.”
“This was right in between when they were arch-y, and then I started to straighten them right around this era, actually, because I like them that way. I know you don’t. But I love them. I’m so sorry. I hope that’s okay,” she added.
