In an Instagram post Thursday night, Oscar de la Renta gave fans a sneak peak at the making of a colorful floral minidress for Grande, in a post that tagged both the ‘#WickedMovie and the superstar ‘@arianagrande’, who plays Glinda in the upcoming musical fantasy film set to drop in November.
Moments later, the pop princess herself took to her own Instagram page to strike a few poses in the finished version of the sheer minidress that comes complete with blooming poppies, in a nod to the Land Of Oz, and various shades red, pink, and white.
Underneath the large fake flowers were giant stretches of green fabric, meant to look like plant leaves.
In another nod to Oz, stylists finished off Grande’s look by donning her version of ruby slippers with a pair of red pumps as she posed next to a trailer that appears to be on the film set.
