Ariana Grande looks so different after unveiling bold new hair transformation
Pop superstar Ariana Grande has debuted a stunning new look, unveiling a chic, retro-inspired bob haircut that flips up at the ends, reminiscent of 1960s style. The 33-year-old took to social media in September, after concluding her tour, to share several selfies showcasing her dramatic hair transformation. Friends and fans alike flooded the comment section with praise for the stylish new cut.
Supermodel Gigi Hadid exclaimed, "Rlly cute!!!!!", while Ariana's boyfriend, dancer Ricky Alvarez, playfully added, "I wanna ask you out." Other fans chimed in with "So beautiful!!!" and "Love this hair!!", with one declaring, "It's bob [season]." The bob was created by hairstylist Brandon Pietsch, who commented, "The ponytail is taking a hiatus."
This latest transformation is just one of many for the "Wicked" star, whose hair journey has seen her through various styles. Starting with natural brunette curls as a young teen, she famously dyed her hair cherry red for her role as Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon's "Victorious." She then became known for her signature high ponytails on red carpet events before switching to bright blonde when she landed the role of Glinda in "Wicked" in 2022. Ariana returned to a soft brunette in 2025 before embracing her current bob.
