I feel like 2019 has really been Ariana's year. She kicked off the year with the release of a new album, headlined Coachella (where I got to see her perform!), and is still dropping new songs with Lizzo and on the Charlie's Angels soundtrack. So it felt like the perfect opportunity to pay homage to her style—and more importantly, her iconic ponytail.
I gotta say, I have mad respect for Ari for wearing this tight, giant ponytail all day, everyday. I rocked this look for only a few hours and needed to massage my scalp and neck for a solid 10 minutes. But once I donned the pony, I felt newly transformed and really confident, so I understand why it has become an essential part of her style persona.
Here's how I transformed into Ariana Grande:
Hair & Makeup
I have never worn any sort of extensions before, so this was a little tricky to put on. My roommate attached the pony to my head, and we even needed a third person just to hold up the hair because it was so heavy! But still, definitely #worthit for the glorious ponytail. I even fooled quite a few people into thinking it was my real hair! 😂
For the makeup, I channeled Ariana's classic stage makeup with a strong cat eye and nude lips. For my eyeliner, I used Stila Stay All Day liquid eyeliner. To get the nude lip, I lined my lips with Maybelline Color Sensational lip liner in "Magnetic Mauve", slightly over-lining them to get that plump lip effect. Then I filled them in with Flesh Cosmetics's Fleshy Lip Lipstick in "Chew".
I also used my BH Cosmetics Desert Oasis eyeshadow palette to give my eyes an orange-nude color and sculpt my cheekbones. For the finishing touch, I added a pair of false eyelashes (my first time wearing them!) to get those big doe eyes.
Outfit
I opted for one of Ariana's out-and-about sweatshirt dress looks for my costume, which was super comfortable as well as easy to create! To be honest, I would wear this look on a normal basis, sans giant ponytail, because it is so cute and comfy.
All you need is a sweatshirt dress—I picked this one from ASOS—and a pair of thigh-high boots, which I already had in my closet. I also threw on a black choker for good measure, but you could easily wear a pretty crystal one as well.

So there you have it! An easy-to-create Ariana Grande outfit! What is your Halloween costume?
Shop The Look:
When you get constant comparisons to Mariah Carey, you know you're dealing with a star.
Ariana Grande burst onto the music scene this year with her hit single "The Way" featuring Mac Miller and has become a household name in a very short matter of time. Grande got her start out on Nickelodeon's Victorious (and subsequent spin-off Sam & Cat) but the teenage songstress truly shines when she is belting out the high notes.
Currently you can listen to Grande's four new Christmas songs, including her original "Snow in California" - which is adorable, because it makes me think of the Disney Channel Original Movie The Ultimate Christmas Present and then I get all excited for the (im)possibility of snow in Los Angeles.
Grande's fashion sense is just as sultry and sweet as her music. She's a big fan of full skirts, floral prints, and candy colors. There's a bit of a vintage vibe going on, but Grande always appears fresh and up-to-date, rather than stuffy and old-fashioned.
She also has a signature half-up/half-down hairstyle - I'd love to see something a little different once and a while, but if it ain't broke I guess there's no need to fix it!
2013 has been a tremendous success for Ariana, and there's no doubt that her hot streak will continue on straight into the new year.
