Ariana Grande Goes Retro In a Black Prada Bandage Top With Green Checkered A-Line Skirt

Ariana Grande was recently promoting her new makeup line R.E.M. beauty, which is currently selling at Ulta Beauty and Selfridges. On August 26, she posted some photos and a short video of herself leaving the famous London department store wearing a fun vintage-style look from Prada.

She wore a black bandeau top that left her shoulders and abs bare, which she paired with an A-line skirt in a green checkered pattern that swept down to her ankles. The skirt is from Prada’s spring/summer 2022 collection. Co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons want the pieces to have a modern appeal while playing with the dressy cuts of more historical looks.

Under the hem, Grande wore a pair of black pumps to complete the entire ensemble’s hint of glamour. In the video, she is carrying one of the well-known yellow Selfridges bag and approaches an SUV with an ad for her makeup line printed on the door. In a carousel of pics on her timeline, she showed off the look, turning to flash her shoulder tattoo to the camera.

Grande had her brunette locks swept back into a ponytail with a side part and some long soft bangs along one side of her face. She kept her makeup very natural, with light eyeshadow and a nude lip.

The singer and actress has been working on the film adaptation of the musical Wicked and promoting her line, but that doesn’t mean a new album is off the table. While posting about her R.E.M. line in late July, a fan on TikTok warned the pop icon, “Pls remember you’re a singer.”

Grande responded, writing in a comment, “I have actually never felt more at home in my voice or like more of a singer.”

Though she’s clearly comfortable standing up for herself, Grande took a moment to thank the other fans who defended her, writing back, “Love u so much.”
