Here’s Why Ariana Grande Used Her Full Name in the ‘Wicked’ Credits


Ariana Grande was asked why she chose to use her "grown-up name," a.k.a. her birth name Ariana Grande-Butera, in the credits of Wicked.

In Glinda fashion, Grande celebrated her character on the yellow brick carpet in a custom pink Vivienne Westwood dress featuring a tulle skirt, corset-style bodice, a puffed sleeve and starburst embellishments — in homage to the costume Billie Burke wore as Glinda in 1939’s The Wizard of Oz. Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo, who portrays Elphaba in the highly anticipated film, wore a black sculptural dress by Louis Vuitton, paired with a choker embellished with a silver lion. Ariana Grande attends the "Journey Through Oz" Tour to celebrate the Australian premiere of "Wicked" at State Theatre on November 03, 2024 in Sydney, Australia.
