She may be down under but Ariana Grande is bringing a downtown flair to her Wicked press tour. The actor and singer joined her castmates in Sydney for a screening of their forthcoming film, where Grande continued her intrepid method dressing streak—this time in custom Bode.
Grande and her stylist Mimi Cuttrell have pulled out all the stops for her Wicked promo, calling in everything from a polka-dotted 1963 Pierre Balmain dress for the Academy Museum Gala to a fuchsia Thierry Mugler tulip dress from fall 1982 for her SNL hosting gig. But beyond the gold medal vintage, Grande is also going the custom route.

For the Sydney stop, Grande chose a bespoke two-piece in her Glinda pink and white color palette from the Lower East Side’s beloved Bode. She wore a white straight-across strapless top festooned with three frilly, salmon bows. The matching pink tea-length skirt featured Emily Adams Bode Aujla’s signature crafty details, with bands of smocking and cross-stitching at the waistband. She played up the bow motif with her white Jimmy Choo pumps, and added a touch of sparkle with Swarovski jewelry.
