She’s been Glinda-fied.
Ariana Grande joined the rest of the cast of “Wicked” at the movie’s premiere in Sydney, Australia on Sunday, looking like she just flew in on a bubble in an outfit the Good Witch would certainly approve of.
Her puffed-sleeve, bubblegum pink Vivienne Westwood ballgown perfectly channeled her character’s energy — and was even inspired by the original Glinda (Billie Burke) gown in 1939’s “The Wizard of Oz.”
She was dripping in Lorraine Schwartz diamonds, including this 90-carat custom butterfly necklace.
The choker featured round-, flat- and rose-cut diamonds for added sparkle, the jeweler tells us.

But it was her accessories that pulled the whole look together and amped up the Glinda effect even more.
Mirroring the starburst pattern of the embellishments on her gown, Grande, 31, added plenty more sparkle with custom jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz, totaling over 100 carats in diamonds between her butterfly-shaped necklace, earrings and a variety of rings.
While Burke’s Glinda wore her own sparkling necklace, the “7 Rings” singer sported a stunning choker featuring round and oval diamonds, with the butterfly in the center featuring a mix of rose-cut and full-cut stones for “that extra sparkly look,” the celeb-loved jeweler tells Page Six Style exclusively.

“The butterfly was ethereal. We thought it was perfect,” Schwartz said, revealing the choker itself weighed in at a whopping 90 carats alone.
Grande also wore a smaller butterfly on a ring on her left hand and wore her hair in a demure half-up style.
She finished the look with a beautiful all-pink makeup look — using products from her own R.E.M. Beauty x “Wicked” Galinda Makeup Set ($60), of course.
“I think what I love most about this press tour is that it’s an opportunity to spend just a little bit more time with Galinda,” Grande told Vogue Australia.
“I know I am here as myself, of course, but the fun of playing with the Ozian lore and bringing her to life in new ways with my brilliant stylist Mimi Cuttrell through fashion, continuing my journey with her is just such a lovely thing.”

In a trailer for the forthcoming film, Grande can be seen in a similar tiara and gown.
She added of her custom dress, “I love [this outfit] not only because of how it makes me feel, but also the craftsmanship and the thoughtfulness behind each detail. The star bursts on the sleeves and corset were designed to resemble Glinda’s wand from the original The Wizard of Oz.”
Co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the highly anticipated Jon M. Chu film, went for a dramatic black Louis Vuitton gown with Roberto Coin jewelry and a long, green manicure, perfectly contrasting Grande’s delicate look.
With the first installment of “Wicked” hitting theaters on Nov. 21, we can’t wait to see what other Oz-inspired outfits the pair of pop stars bring out.
