Everything Ariana Grande has worn this year, ranked from worst to best

She first chatted with the talk-show host in a black Balmain dress. It had white, rose-shaped buttons down its bodice and a short circle skirt.

Though Grande's outfit was classic, especially paired with sheer tights and white Jimmy Choo heels, the garment was altered drastically from its runway state, which made it less unique.

The musician later changed into a black, asymmetrical Mugler outfit, which was more interesting in shape and style.

Unfortunately, the lace cat mask she wore across her face made the outfit look too much like a costume.

Grande was photographed wearing a $1,555 pink minidress from The Vampire's Wife and darker satin heels. She also carried a $460 Vivienne Westwood purse.

Her dress was aptly named "I'll Get You, My Pretty" — a nod to the Wicked Witch of the West's quote from the 1939 "Wizard of Oz" film.

But its light-pink color washed Grande out, and its shapeless style aged her.

The actor filmed promotional videos alongside Bowen Yang and Stevie Nicks, wearing a brown leather dress from JW Anderson and semi-sheer tights.

The sleeveless piece had a scooped neckline and a wide-brimmed miniskirt, which made for a fun silhouette.

But because of the piece's neutral color and Grande's minimal accessories, the understated outfit didn't stand out from the rest of her wardrobe that night.

Grande sported a Versace outfit, including a cream asymmetrical vest, pleated skirt, and a $1,995 purse from the Italian brand. She completed the outfit with white pumps.

She looked classy and chic, but her outfit didn't raise the bar like others she wore at prior "Wicked" events.

The same top paired with a more interesting skirt or pants, especially in a different color, could have helped the outfit.

Vivienne Westwood designed her strapless dress, which had a corseted bodice, a short tutu skirt, and a longer overlay with floral details.

Grande also wore white Gianvito Rossi heels and statement Swarovski jewelry.

The "Wicked" star looked stunning, and her outfit was beyond glamorous. But because of its white color and mesh fabric, the garment had a bridal feel that didn't fit the movie's vibe.

She arrived on the black carpet wearing a custom ensemble from Thom Browne. It comprised a strapless dress, a matching shawl, and short gloves — all of which featured a pink-and-white checked pattern.

Not only was the dress sweet and subtly reminiscent of her "Wicked" character but it was also tailored to perfection.

Grande completed the look with sparkling silver heels, pearl earrings, and a pink bow in her hair.

She was photographed at the photocall wearing a white strapless top with pink bow details and a matching pleated skirt from Bode. She also wore $925 heels from Manolo Blahnik.

The outfit was cute, themed to her character, and just casual enough for the event.

She attended CinemaCon in a $6,990 minidress from Oscar de la Renta. Made from organza and floral appliqué, the dress looked like one big flower blooming from the center of her waist.

The dress was youthful, fun, and perfectly suited Grande's bright demeanor. She wore it with $975 Jimmy Choo heels.

She embraced the glamour of old-school Hollywood and acting legends like Hepburn with a white polka-dot gown from Balmain.

The vintage piece was strapless with a band of black mesh across the neckline and a large bow beneath it. It also featured a black belt around the waist.

The gown's style was classic rather than outdated. And its timeless aesthetic worked for her.

Thom Browne made the A-line dress custom for Grande. It had a structured and sleeveless bodice, as well as a full pleated skirt with a small bow attached at the waist.

The dress looked pretty and chic, but Grande's accessories took the overall outfit to another level.

She added pink-and-white heels, gloves that extended past her wrists, small earrings, and a delicate bow to hold her hair back.

For the Oscars in March, the superstar donned one of her first Glinda-inspired looks of the year: a two-piece Giambattista Valli set.

The fun outfit featured a strapless, floor-length gown ruched from top to bottom and a puffy shawl wrapped around her waist.

With the statement-making outfit, Grande proved she knows how to fashionably kick off a press tour.

The "Wicked" star wore Loewe to the 2024 Met Gala, mixing the magic of Glinda's style with Grande's red-carpet shine.

Her strapless gown had a corset bodice with a mother-of-pearl finish and an iridescent skirt designed with pleats and varying shades to mirror the iridescence of pearls.

The off-white shades suited Grande, and her petal eye makeup made her ensemble look even more whimsical.

She walked the red carpet — or the yellow brick road, in this case — wearing a custom Vivienne Westwood dress.

The corseted piece was pink, decorated with silver sparkles across its bodice and puffed sleeves, and covered in frills down its full skirt. And Grande added more glitz with statement jewels from Lorraine Schwartz.

The feminine ensemble showed Grande's dedication to her "Wicked" role and her high-fashion take on the beloved character.

She was photographed at the event wearing an opalescent gown from Versace.

Its strapless corset had a V-shaped plunge down its center, while its full skirt was elegantly ruffled. But most impressive was the white gown's pink shine, making it look much like Glinda's famous bubble.

The outfit was fun, memorable, and undoubtedly Grande's best look of the year so far.
