Ariana Grande Aesthetic
Ariana Grande might have kicked things off as the red-headed mischief-maker of Nickelodeon, but she outgrew the kids’ table faster than you can say “thank u, next.”
She went from delivering punchlines on Victorious and Sam & Cat to shutting down the entire pop universe with vocals so fierce, Mariah Carey had to check her own high notes.
Her comedic game is just as on point as her whistle register. If you’ve ever caught her slaying a SNL skit or flexing her impressions with Jimmy Fallon, you know she’s got more range than a Target beauty aisle.
But the real magic? Every album is a total aesthetic reset. Which is AMAZEBALLS for anyone plotting a Halloween slay, a costume party moment, or a diva-themed girls’ night. From the sugar-sweet pastels of My Everything, to the latex-wrapped “don’t mess with me” energy of Dangerous Woman, and straight into the futuristic glam of Positions, Ariana serves a different look for every era.
We love a pop star who keeps switching up positions and gives us options.

Ariana Grande Halloween Costume Ideas – Essentials
We put her in the “Legends” category because, yes, she’s been around forever in pop years, but she’s still so young she could just as easily be the face of the next generation.
She is the one artist on our list who had us stumped, because she’s a legend and an icon-in-the-making, all at once.
One thing we know for sure, though, is when you think of Ariana Grande, you think of her signature pony tail. It’s the one thing we think is an essential for most of her looks!
FAQ: Ariana Grande Halloween Costume Ideas
Okay, let’s make your Halloween party legendary—because Ari is basically the queen of Halloween! Whether you’re scrolling TikTok or hitting up a party IRL, her signature music video outfits always turn heads. We’re talking the “Dangerous Woman” bunny mask, princess Glinda, and that high ponytail that’s practically its own pop star. And let’s not forget the Ariana Grande Mac Miller dress moment, it’s a whole vibe!
Honestly, no Ariana look is complete without that high ponytail. This is the perfect time to grab a long extension (or get crafty with a DIY YouTube hack!) and make it extra swishy. Think last year’s “Positions” album cover vibes, or even channel your inner Kylie Jenner if you want that extra-glam moment. The key: sleek roots, LOTS of hair, and a little attitude. Pop on some knee boots and you’re basically Ari—just don’t forget to snap a TikTok to show it off!
Absolutely, babe! Fun Ariana Grande costume energy does NOT require superstar cash. There are so many easy steps for a simple DIY Ariana Grande costume: think cargo pants from “Problem,” a quick trip to the craft store for cat ears, or even some public holidays sales for accessories. If you’re last minute (no judgment!), hit up YouTube for DIY Ariana Grande Halloween costume ideas or check out Popsugar Celebrity’s collection options. You’ll have full returns on fun and cuteness, promise.
All the “Ariheads” know: music videos are where the best Halloween costume ideas are born. “Thank U, Next” is a goldmine—channel your inner Paris Hilton or do a legally blonde moment with a pink dress. “7 Rings” is glam with an extended Christmas sparkle, and “Problem” (featuring a little Justin Timberlake dance energy) is perfect for a throwback. You can even do a fun “Wicked Witch of the West” twist from her “Wicked” era, or pay homage to Hailey Bieber and Pete Davidson cameos. Honestly, the cosplay guides are endless—so dress like Ariana Grande and get ready for all the compliments.
