Dangerous Woman marks Ariana Grande’s third studio album title and Grande’s third concert tour. While the petite sized superstar finds herself on the road again, traveling to numerous locations around the world, her styling team is not far behind. When preparing for a major world tour, elaborate costumes are what set the tone for an artist’s stage presence and add to the success of a tour.
Sticking to Ariana’s signature style of slicked back pony tails, mini skirts, dark tones and lots of sparkle, her stylists know exactly what she’s looking for when it comes to picking the right pieces. One of the designers, Bryan Hearns, interviewed by People magazine says, “The opening look is a bodysuit and half peplum skirt that came together the night before; Ariana’s team flew me out to put one last look together. It was overwhelming and stressful – I slept for, like, four hours!”

Hearns says, “The look is inspired by Audrey Hepburn, [and] it’s a nod to Ari’s iconic style but with a twist,” he continues, adding, “the look was created with power mesh.” Probably a must given how much dancing, jumping, and sliding one stage look has to withstand.

The pop star’s stylist Law Roach, the man behind all of Grande’s feminine, yet edgy and 90s inspired looks, wanted to showcase a lot of new names in the fashion industry on the Dangerous Woman tour. According to People Magazine Roach says, “Ariana and I really wanted to showcase new emerging designers and give them a place in the show, which is why we used designers like Michael Ngo, Vetements, Sergio Hudson and Bryan Hearns.”
Many of Ariana Grande’s tour looks have inspired fan artwork from around the world, one of the highest forms of flattery any singer, designer or stylist could ask for!
