Ariana Grande Revives Early-2000s Vivienne Westwood at AFI Awards Ahead of Globes

The AFI Awards look extends a deliberate vintage campaign led by stylist Law Roach, with provenance traced to a 2024 Kerry Taylor Auctions sale.

Overview

  • Grande appeared at the AFI Awards in Beverly Hills on Jan. 9 wearing a powder‑pink, strapless Vivienne Westwood corset and Chantilly lace skirt dated to the early 2000s.
  • The ensemble was styled with understated pearl stud earrings and ivory pumps, keeping the focus on the archival set.
  • Auction records show the Westwood outfit surfaced at Kerry Taylor Auctions in December 2024 and sold for £2,470, though the ownership path to Grande was not detailed.
  • Law Roach styled the appearance as part of Grande’s awards‑season vintage playbook that has included John Galliano–era Givenchy and mid‑century Gilbert Adrian pieces.
  • The luncheon outing comes a little over 48 hours before the Golden Globes, where Grande is nominated for best supporting actress.
