Ariana Grande’s Vintage Badgley Mischka Is a Trip Back in Time

Ariana Grande returned to the red carpet for the world premiere of Focker In-Law, held at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, where she was joined by her boyfriend, Ricky Álvarez.

If you thought Ariana’s love affair with vintage fashion was coming to an end, think again.

Continuing her working relationship with image archive-itect Law Roach, the actress wore a ’90s Badgley Mischka gown sourced from Jellybean Vintage.

There is something wonderfully 1950s about this dress, despite it being a ’90s creation. The fitted bodice, delicate spaghetti straps and sweeping skirt recall the glamour of old Hollywood, when getting dressed for an evening out was an occasion in itself. The subtle check pattern and floral embellishments add a sweetness that feels especially suited to Ariana’s romantic sense of style.

It feels like the kind of dress Ariana was always destined to wear. Feminine and nostalgic, it speaks to her love of vintage glamour without feeling like a repeat of her Wicked press tour wardrobe.

I also love that she resisted the temptation to go bigger for a world premiere. The dress has enough charm on its own, and her sleek ponytail and Swarovski jewellery complement it beautifully.

For me, this is Ariana at her best. A vintage find that feels entirely suited to her personality and looks just as lovely today as it would have three decades ago.
