Ariana Grande Shines in Pink at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards

Ariana Grande brought a soft, romantic moment to the 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, standing out against the industrial backdrop of Barker Hangar in head-to-toe pink.

The singer and actress wore a custom Alberta Ferretti gown crafted in pale satin, cut with an off-the-shoulder neckline that felt clean and delicate. The standout detail was the white tulle cape, embroidered with silver floral appliqués that shimmered under the venue lights. The airy layers moved gently as she walked, giving the look a floating, almost weightless feel.

Grande kept the styling refined. Her hair was pulled back into a curled updo in a warm auburn tone, allowing her Swarovski pear-shaped earrings to catch the light with every turn of her head. The makeup leaned soft and luminous, balancing the drama of the gown with a natural glow.

It was a look that felt dreamy without being overdone, turning a stark awards space into something quietly magical.
