Double take! On Tuesday, December 17, Ariana Grande and her mom, Joan, stepped out to celebrate the Wicked star’s nomination at the Golden Globes First-Time Nominees Luncheon at the Maybourne Beverly Hills. While their outfits, hair colors, and overall aesthetics couldn’t be more different, the resemblance between the two is undeniable—like seeing double, but in two different eras.
For the occasion, Grande—nominated for her role of Glinda in the blockbuster film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical—stunned in a champagne-colored vintage Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent midi dress paired with matching pumps. Joan opted for an elegant all-black ensemble featuring a long-sleeved dress, tights and coordinating shoes.
As much as their contrasting yet complementary fashion choices caught our attention, we’re a beauty magazine, after all—so naturally, we couldn’t help but hone in on their glam. Grande opted for her signature polished look with a matte complexion accented by a hint of blush, shimmery lids, voluminous lashes and glossy lips. Joan, meanwhile, dazzled with silver shimmer on her lids, bold black eyeliner, fluttery lashes and a perfectly pink lip.
At the time of writing, we’re deep-diving to uncover the exact products behind the Grande duo’s red carpet glam. While r.e.m. beauty seems like a natural choice for Ariana (it’s her brand, after all!), celebrity makeup artist Michael Anthony (tagged in a photo of the Nickelodeon alum from the event) also shared a snap of Dior Beauty products to his Instagram grid yesterday. Could he have been responsible for both of their looks and have used a mix of both brands? Or did one brand take the spotlight?
Rest assured, we’re on the case and will bring you all the details as soon as we can. Stay tuned!
