Ariana Grande paid tribute to the “Wizard of Oz” roots of “Wicked” in the sweetest way at the Oscars on Sunday night. Grande opened the awards with a tear-jerking rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in a dazzling red dress designed by Schiaparelli.

Ariana Grande nodded to Glinda’s “bubble dress” in “Wicked” at the 2025 Oscars in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Best Supporting Actress nominee modeled a custom Schiaparelli gown based on a look from the label’s spring 2025 couture collection.

The ‘Wicked’ star delivered an unforgettable performance, and two striking gowns, at the Oscars. “We wanted it to be a tribute to the beautiful women and witches who have come before us,” Grande says.
