Ariana Grande Debuts Brunette Hair as 'Wicked: For Good' Press Kicks Off

Colorist Francesco De Chiara confirmed the shift, marking the close of her three-year Glinda-blonde era ahead of the Nov. 21 premiere.

Overview

  • Grande revealed the new look in an Oct. 29 Instagram mirror selfie captioned, “it’s good to see me, isn’t it?”
  • She tagged London-based colorist Francesco De Chiara, who reposted the photo with “Here she is,” confirming the brunette return.
  • De Chiara told Vogue the transition back required re‑pigmentation with warmer tones and layered lowlights to keep blonde from reappearing.
  • The change follows roughly three years of blonde hair adopted for her role as Glinda in the Wicked films.
  • Two days earlier in New York, she launched the press run in a two-tone pink Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Spring/Summer 2025 gown styled by Law Roach, with Wicked: For Good opening Nov. 21 and a 2026 Eternal Sunshine tour announced.
