Ariana Grande's Stylist Walks Us Through Her 7 Best Outfits Ever
In recent years, Ariana Grande graduated from her sweet floral playsuits and prom dresses to more dramatic looks by the likes of Versace, Alexander McQueen and Giambattista Valli. Her red carpet transformation can be accredited to her stylist Law Roach, who she started working with in late 2015. “She is evolving into a fashion girl, and is changing,” Law tells Teen Vogue. “She is 22 and growing into her womanhood. When girls become women, their ideologies change, and so does their style.” Click through the gallery to see Law’s all-time favorite Ariana Grande looks, and the story behind each one.

To perform at the Billboard Music Awards, Ariana changed into a black crop top, Alexander McQueen black trousers and a statement diamond choker necklace. “This is one of my favorite ever Ariana looks,” Law tells us. “She is evolving, and her new music has evolved and so has her look.

“This was the first event I styled Ariana Grande for, and it was such a great way to start the relationship because it was Haute Couture! It is so special when the dress is one of a kind and is never going to be worn again,” explains Law.

At the 2016 Grammy Awards, Ariana went for a sleeker look in an elegant red Romona Keveza gown. “She had a break from doing carpets, so the Grammys was the first red carpet she had done in a while. She was open to try different things,” explains Law. “It is a red, with a classic silhouette and buttons from the top to the bottom of the dress, which was a sweet detail. It was sexy, but silent. That’s the way I dress all of my girls from Zendaya to Celine Dion, I believe all women should have an air of sophistication.”

Ariana Grande had a Marilyn Monroe moment at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards wearing a Gentlemen Prefer Blondes-inspired bright pink fishtail gown custom made by Michael Costello. She topped it off with a white Maggie Berry faux fur jacket wrapped around her arms. “That was one of my all-time favorites and was inspired by Old Hollywood,” Law explains. “We got references for how the staging and lighting would be for the performance first, and wanted to do something that fitted the look, so we turned to Marilyn for inspiration.”
