Ariana Grande Embraces Brunette for 'Wicked' Press Tour

As the release of 'Wicked: For Good' approaches in 2025, Ariana Grande and the rest of the cast are gearing up for an extensive press tour. However, one major change fans will notice is Grande's new brunette hair color.

The multi-talented actress, who plays the role of Glinda the Good Witch, recently dyed her signature blonde locks brown. According to Grande, this shift in appearance will allow her to be "herself more" during the press tour, while still incorporating fun nods to the beloved musical.

Grande's co-star, Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, noted that the brunette look changes Grande's overall aesthetic. This is a departure from last year's press tour, where Grande's blonde hair may have blurred the lines between her and her Ozian character.

In the lead-up to the 'Wicked: For Good' premiere, Grande has already been spotted in some unexpected press looks. For example, her first appearance featured a black dress, a stark contrast to Glinda's signature pink gowns. Additionally, Grande has been spotted in a gorgeous hot pink ball gown that evokes both Glinda and Marilyn Monroe's iconic style.

As Grande and Erivo continue to promote the highly anticipated 'Wicked' sequel, fans can expect to see more unique and personalized looks from the leading ladies. With Grande's brunette transformation, she is poised to showcase a blend of her own identity and her beloved Glinda character.
