There’s nothing “Wicked” about this sweet look.
Ariana Grande looked ready for spring in a blooming 3D floral dress as she promoted her highly anticipated new movie, “Wicked” in a new Instagram post on Thursday.
“the prettiest flower” the 30-year-old pop star captioned a series of photos from recent weeks, including two snaps of her incredible Oscar de la Renta piece, which featured hand-embroidered poppies in shades of pink and red arranged to form a minidress.

The “Yes, and?” singer wore her blond hair in a half-up style, accenting her features with glossy pink lips and full lashes, channeling her character, Glinda the Good Witch.
And she didn’t forget her ruby slippers, adding a pair of red pumps as she posed next to a trailer.
While it’s unknown where exactly she wore the pretty poppy look, Oscar de la Renta noted it was “for the #WickedMovie global press tour” in an Instagram post showcasing Grande wearing the dress.
The brand also shared a behind-the-scenes look at how its team created the stunning piece, which hails from the spring 2024 collection.

In the photos, white-coated seamstresses can be seen hand-placing and sewing the 3D flowers and leaves on a nude-colored sleeveless dress.
Another post shows the flowers sketched on paper before taking their final embroidered form, with a model showing off the final look as the elements are fine-tuned on her body.
Grande’s Instagram followers were loving the floral look, like hairstylist Chris Appleton, who wrote, “Bella ❤.”
“call me dorothy because those flowers are going to make me pass out” a fan added, while another wrote, “calling @rupaulofficial to let her know that this your submission for the “i can buy myself flowers” runway!!!! top toot!!!!!!”

Along with her floral moment, Grande shared several photos of her dogs, and one of herself running around an empty room in red tights and an oversized black coat.
The “Positions” singer also posted a video with “Wicked” co-star Cynthia Erivo as they sported glimmering sequined jerseys that spelled out their characters’ names at the Super Bowl earlier this month.
There’s sure to be plenty more fashion-forward looks from this double-threat as her new album, “Eternal Sunshine,” comes out March 8 ahead of the November 27 “Wicked” release.
I like the way she appreciated herself
