Ariana Grande Revives Archival Vivienne Westwood at AFI Awards Ahead of Globes

The early-2000s set, traced to a 2024 Kerry Taylor auction, underscores her awards-season turn to vintage.

Overview

  • Grande wore a powder-pink strapless lace corset-and-skirt look by Vivienne Westwood at the AFI Awards luncheon on Jan. 9 in Beverly Hills.
  • The exact ensemble previously appeared at Kerry Taylor Auctions in December 2024, where it sold for £2,470 according to multiple reports.
  • Stylist Law Roach curated the look, which featured a fitted bodice, a gathered lace skirt, and pointed cream or white heels.
  • Accessory credits diverged across outlets, with Marie Claire citing $7,610 Irene Neuwirth pearl studs and WWD attributing the earrings to Swarovski, a brand for which Grande is an ambassador.
  • The appearance continues her campaign-long embrace of archival dressing and lands just before the Jan. 11 Golden Globes, where she is nominated for best supporting actress for Wicked: For Good.
