  • Kim Kardashian consistently wore daring designer outfits at events in 2024.
  • Her fashion choices included some stunning ensembles, from cutout gowns to casual streetwear.
  • Other outfits, however, were less successful and missed the mark entirely.

One thing never changed this year: Kim Kardashian's dedication to bold outfits.

The television star regularly appeared in major cities and at red-carpet events, wearing stunning ensembles from designer brands.

On a few occasions, however, her attire could have been better.

Here's a look at the best and worst looks Kardashian wore in 2024.

Kim Kardashian kicked off 2024 with a skin-baring gown for Paris Fashion Week.

She attended the Maison Margiela runway show and was photographed outside wearing a sleeveless design from the fashion house.

Her black dress — which hugged Kardashian's body and had round cutouts from top to bottom — was paired with Tabi shoes and a statement silver necklace that covered her neck.

The outfit was fashion-forward and memorable.

Her sheer dress a few days later didn't have the same effect.

For a Balenciaga show, Kardashian wore a black lace gown that was form-fitting and backless.

The gown's silhouette was stunning, thanks to a short train, waterfall sleeves, and a high neckline. However, one small detail distracted from the look.

Attached to the back of the dress was a long string and Balenciaga tag, intended to look like Kardashian bought the dress and forgot to remove its price label.

Unfortunately, the feature was too gimmicky for the chic look.

She was photographed leaving a Margiela exhibit in Paris while wearing a fuzzy, jaguar-print coat from Balenciaga. It had an oversize collar, thick sleeves, and a leather belt wrapped around the waist.

The coat was a standout on its own, but Kardashian elevated the piece with the rest of her look.

She wore sheer black tights, pointed heels, and glowing, smoky makeup. She also carried a black leather purse and tied her hair in a slicked ponytail.

Her street style faltered, however, while visiting Los Angeles.

For one occasion, Kardashian stepped out wearing an oversize Balenciaga bomber coat and $3,590 leggings that covered an attached pair of pointed heels.

The outfit was overly simple and looked as if it were missing a piece, such as a skirt or shorts.

Kardashian also wore black sunglasses and an updo hairstyle that worked with the streetwear look but didn't add any extra style.

The fashion mogul experimented with old Hollywood glam after the Oscars, and the look worked for her.

She attended the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in yet another Balenciaga design. Her off-white dress was strapless, with a floor-length skirt, short train, and a neckline pointing toward her face.

Not only did the gown's shining fabric complement Kardashian's glowing makeup, but it also looked luxurious when paired with diamond jewels.

She wore a statement ring and large stud earrings, and her hair was styled sleekly to cover one side of her face.

It didn't click as well when Kardashian tried to bring back styles from the early 2000s.

For the Breakthrough Prize ceremony this year, Kardashian donned a white Alaïa gown with a daring bodice.

Its halter top had a triangle cutout across the chest and thin slits at the waist, both of which were more reminiscent of Y2K designs than anything modern.

The tight gown's best feature was its stark white color, which looked great on Kardashian. However, the crocodile-embossed leather looked a bit strange from far away, almost like the dress was made from a towel material.

Kardashian completed the look with shining lip gloss, dark eye makeup, and straight hair styled to appear wet.

The neutral outfit she wore in New York over the summer was classic Kardashian.

The brand founder stepped out of her hotel in a $94 Skims dress in a custom color. It had long sleeves, a layered skirt, and a high neckline.

She wore the simple piece with a tan pair of Balenciaga's Pantaleggings and a $1,850 shearling bag from ERL.

Kardashian's tan outfit matched her signature neutral aesthetic, and her fuzzy, butter-yellow purse added a fun, fashionable touch.

She wore more yellow pieces in August, but they didn't all work for her.

She was photographed in New York City wearing a strapless Miu Miu tank top made from vibrant yellow leather and tan pants that were wide at the ankles.

The latter garment was unfortunately too neutral in color and washed Kardashian out. A darker shade could have made all the difference.

The TV star completed the outfit with tan sandals, a Birkin bag, and a wavy hairstyle.

Following her own tradition, Kardashian wore a corset gown to the Met Gala. As usual, she stole the show.

This year, she sported a John Galliano creation at the Met Gala. It was strapless with a tightly corseted waist and metal floral pieces that created its skirt.

The gown was like a work of art and matched the night's theme: "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

Kardashian truly looked like a princess who had just awoken, especially thanks to her small gray cardigan that she carried around her arms.

You might have forgotten about the leotard she wore to the 2024 Academy Museum Gala.

Thierry Mugler designed the white ensemble Kardashian wore that night. It included a corseted leotard with a plunging neckline and hip padding and a thin overcoat that reached the floor.

The two pieces looked too casual for the prestigious event, as did her see-through heels.

However, her wavy hair, pink makeup, and diamond necklace were picture-perfect.

Kardashian looked like American royalty at the 2024 LACMA Art+Film Gala.

She arrived in a white Gucci gown with two thin straps acting as a bodice, which created a deep V-neckline that reached her stomach.

The skin-hugging dress was complemented by an off-white overcoat, which Kardashian carried across her back, and thick necklaces from Garrard.

The one shaped like a cross was previously worn by Princess Diana. Kardashian purchased it at an auction in 2023 for nearly $200,000.

4 of the best looks and 3 that missed the mark at the 'Mufasa: The Lion King' premiere

  • The "Mufasa: The Lion King" premiere was hosted in Hollywood on Monday night.
  • Celebrities like Beyoncé looked stunning on the red carpet in designer outfits.
  • Others like Heidi Klum could have arguably made better fashion choices for the event.

The holidays might be on the horizon, but Hollywood is celebrating a different occasion: the upcoming release of "Mufasa: The Lion King."

Stars gathered at the Dolby Theatre on Monday night for the movie's red-carpet premiere, and many wore themed gowns and suits.

While some celebrities like Beyoncé stunned in their ensembles, others missed the mark.

Here are the best and worst looks of the night.

Designed by Balmain, the form-fitting piece was strapless, floor-length, and decorated with reflective circle pieces.

The daring gown also featured an above-the-thigh slit down one side of its skirt.

The outfit's bold design stood out on the red carpet, and its golden hues complemented the movie premiere's yellow and orange decor.

Beyoncé's wavy blonde hair completed the look.

Heidi Klum's white gown didn't make much sense for the event.

She donned a white halter piece from Manish Malhotra that was covered from top to bottom in more than 100,000 pearls and crystals, as the designer said on Instagram.

The dress was stunning and would have been perfect for a holiday event.

However, its stark white color didn't match the event's aesthetic, making Klum's outfit appear out of place.

Chloe Bailey looked chic in a simple yet sentimental outfit.

She walked the red carpet in a strapless, shimmering gown crafted from sparkling blue fabric. The material was ruched across its bodice and extended into a floor-length skirt with a train.

Not only was the gown's shape flattering on Bailey, but its color was also a sweet nod to Blue Ivy, Beyoncé's 12-year-old daughter who made her voice-acting debut in the new Disney film.

"Blue for Blue 💙 i cried like a baby in my seat… loved this movie 🦁," Bailey wrote on Instagram after the premiere.

Jordyn Woods wore a dress that had potential but ultimately missed the mark.

Her custom dress from Minna Fashion had a single strap, a slit across its bodice, and a floor-length skirt with another cut that revealed her legs.

Her fuzzy coat was arguably the best part of her look. It added a few neutral shades and a contrasting texture to her sparkling dress.

The gown itself, however, was too light in color to stand out on the red carpet.

Fashion designer Olivier Rousteing brought his signature style to the movie premiere, and it worked.

Rousteing, the creative director of Balmain, was photographed at the event wearing a black blazer with sharp shoulder pads, a white button-up blouse, and baggy pants tucked into leather boots.

The outfit was memorable and perfectly represented both the fashion house and Rousteing's personal style.

It also blended classic menswear styles with fashion-forward accessory designs.

Billy Eichner's suit nodded to big cats — but not the ones featured in the movie.

The comedian stepped onto the carpet wearing an all-black ensemble comprised of trousers, a blazer, a T-shirt, and boots.

From afar, the outfit wasn't so bad, but Eichner's suit was subtly decorated with an animal print — leopard, to be exact.

The pattern didn't make perfect sense, considering "Mufasa" focuses on lions.

Tiffany Boone wore a colorful gown that looked like a piece of art.

Balmain created the red, yellow, and blue gown, which had a strapless neckline that extended above Boone's chest.

It was undoubtedly one of the most memorable outfits of the night.

The actor perfected her outfit with blue earrings, vibrant red lipstick, and a long ponytail that extended past her thighs.

5 of the best looks and 5 that missed the mark at the 2024 Fashion Awards

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky attend the 2024 London Fashion Awards.

  • The 2024 Fashion Awards took place in London on Monday.
  • Celebrities like Rihanna and Halle Bailey wowed on the red carpet.
  • Others like Joe Jonas and Daisy Ridley didn't have their best fashion moments at the event.

It might have been "Monday Night Football" in America, but it was Monday night fashion across the pond.

The 2024 Fashion Awards took place in London on Monday, raising money for the BFC Foundation, which supports the British fashion industry.

Several celebrities, models, and designers attended the event, walking the red carpet in high-fashion looks.

Some red-carpet outfits, like Rihanna's coatdress, were perfect, while other stars, such as Joe Jonas, missed the mark.

Here are the best and worst looks of the night.

Ellie Misner designed "The Little Mermaid" actor's strapless white dress.

The form-fitting bodice gave way to a structured, curved peplum that floated behind her. Strands of pearls and oversize sequins hung from the peplum, almost making Bailey look like a moving chandelier.

Delicate jewelry completed her chic outfit.

The print on Jourdan Dunn's outfit was fun, but the look ultimately felt disjointed.

The model's leopard-print look from Dior consisted of a short-sleeve jacket that belted at the waist, shorts, and a pageboy hat.

She wore the jacket open, adding a daring edge to the ensemble.

However, Dunn's black elbow-length gloves, black heels with bejeweled straps, and crisscross necklace felt disconnected and pulled focus from the rest of the outfit.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's ensembles were effortlessly glamorous.

Rihanna went into Christian Lacroix Haute Couture's archives for her Fashion Awards look, wearing an eye-catching furry coat from the brand's FW2002 collection.

The blue jacket buttoned at her waist and sat slightly off of her shoulders, revealing the black bustier she wore beneath it and an array of delicate necklaces on her neck. Her large hat matched the jacket, and the Fenty creator completed her look with black tights, heels, and a purse.

A$AP Rocky also sported blue, wearing a loose-fitting navy suit with a white shirt and a shiny red tie.

Ellie Goulding's coatdress felt too casual for the red carpet.

Goulding arrived at the Fashion Awards in a cream puffer coatdress from Moncler Genius.

It had a ball gown silhouette, with the zipper neckline falling over Goulding's shoulders and the skirt cascading to the floor.

Although the twist on a ball gown was creative, the fabric felt more suited to a walk through the snow than down the red carpet. The jacket also resembled Hilary Duff's igloo dress in "The Lizzie McGuire Movie."

The stylish pieces in Joe Jonas' outfit didn't work together.

The individual pieces of Jonas' Prada ensemble — from his oversize, textured jacket and green turtleneck to his slim-fitted black pants — were all solid choices for the Fashion Awards.

However, the gray jacket swallowed Jonas' torso, and the fit of the pants and tight turtleneck made it look even bigger. The outfit would have been more successful if Jonas stuck to one fabric or fit.

Rita Ora wore one of the best suit looks of the evening.

Ora went for a grunge look for the Fashion Awards, walking the red carpet in a loose-fitted suit from Primark.

Her double-breasted gray jacket sat atop a striped shirt and a pink tie, which she paired with black pants.

Ora completed the look with bleached hair and eyebrows and an assortment of chunky jewelry.

The top and skirt Daisy Ridley wore would have looked better apart.

Ridley wore Miu Miu from head to toe, pairing a crepe red crop top with a gray skirt embellished with florals.

A black belt cinched her waist and coordinated with her black shoes.

Both the top and skirt were beautiful, but they didn't help each other shine. Each piece might have worked better in a monochromatic look.

Simone Ashley's gown brought glamour to the Fashion Awards.

Ashley arrived at the Fashion Awards in a custom Prada dress.

The pale-pink dress had a straight, strapless neckline and a bow on the center of the bodice. A floor-length train flowed out from the bow, showing off the mini-balloon skirt that ended above Ashley's knee.

The dress was elegant and timeless, and Ashley's updo with baby bangs added to the look's Audrey Hepburn-esque grandeur.

Nicola Coughlan's dress had a bit too much fabric.

Coughlan showed off her mastery at playing with volume and silhouettes on her press tour for "Bridgerton," but her Gaurav Gupta gown for the Fashion Awards was a rare miss for the actor.

The dress had an off-the-shoulder neckline, and the base was made of black velvet. A voluminous blue skirt puffed out from the sides.

The first fold of the skirt cut at Coughlan's ankle, and if it had ended there, the dress would have been great. But another layer of fabric pooled out and flowed onto the floor, making the whole look feel imbalanced.

Gemma Chan's playful approach to texture stood out on the red carpet.

Chan's dress was designed by Christopher Kane for Self-Portrait.

Much of the long-sleeve, floor-length dress was made of a semi-sheer, white mesh, contrasted by architectural ruffle patches that followed the curves of Chan's hips and chest.

The fabrics sparkled as Chan walked the red carpet for a dynamic, eye-catching look.

The best and worst looks country music stars have worn this year so far

  • It's been a big year for the country music genre and the fashion worn by its stars.
  • Beyoncé, Miranda Lambert, and Kelsea Ballerini have all worn stunning looks in 2024 so far.
  • Shania Twain and Keith Urban have missed the mark with some of their outfits.

Country music stars are having a big year.

Shania Twain started her new Las Vegas residency, Zach Bryan released highly-anticipated new music, and Beyoncé showed off her Texas roots with the release of "Cowboy Carter."

Those three stars and others have also made splashes on red carpets throughout 2024 — sometimes in stunning fashion, and other times not.

Here's a look at the best and worst outfits country musicians have worn this year.

She arrived at the ACM Awards wearing a black Roberto Cavalli gown that was both elegant and slightly daring. It had a halter neckline with a deep bodice slit, a matching cut across its floor-length skirt, and a short train that extended beside her.

The dress was also embellished with a silver collar and turquoise-studded belt, adding a Western touch to the overall look.

Lambert completed her outfit with strappy silver sandals, a metallic clutch, and statement earrings.

But Lainey Wilson's outfit at the 2024 People's Choice Awards missed the mark.

The Grammy winner also wore Roberto Cavalli in the form of a leopard-print catsuit — one of the night's most daring looks.

Her outfit included a string halter top with a keyhole cutout at the chest and flowing bell-bottom pants. However, the latter portion was too long for the musician, making her outfit look ill-fitting as she walked the teal carpet.

Her suit also needed some metallic accessories, like a gold belt at the waist or cuff bracelets across her wrists.

Beyoncé's latest fashion era is as strong as her first country album.

At the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Beyoncé made an appearance in a strong Versace ensemble.

It included a few leather pieces adorned with gold hardware and fringe, from her black button-up top to her high-waisted pants.

The music icon also wore a gold-studded belt, black sunglasses, hoop earrings, and a Versace cowboy hat, making her outfit one of the best of the night.

There was too much going on with the suit Shania Twain wore to the pre-Grammy gala.

Twain has defended her daring fashion of recent years, saying in April 2023 that "life is too short to wear boring clothes."

That might be true, but the Christian Siriano suit she sported at the 2024 pre-Grammy gala didn't reach its potential.

She wore the gold, textured two-piece with its jacket buttoned up to her collarbones, making the top look stiff. Instead, she should have worn it open with a bralette or crop top beneath it, as shown on the designer's runway.

T.J. Osborne and John Osborne looked sharp at the ACM Awards.

T.J. looked cool in powder blue, wearing a colorful tuxedo adorned with a pearl brooch over a red shirt. John, on the other hand, went full country in a paisley blouse, a burnt-orange suede jacket, and a cowboy hat.

Their outfits were just coordinated enough to work together but also representative of their individual styles.

But at the annual CMT Music Awards, Keith Urban looked too casual.

His outfit that night included a plaid top with gradient shading, dark skinny jeans that were baggy at the bottom, and chunky black boots with white soles.

The ensemble might have worked for a casual concert or a day out, but it was arguably too laid back for an awards ceremony.

Kelsea Ballerini stunned when she showed the edgy side of her feminine style.

Ballerini quickly became one of the best-dressed stars of the 2024 Fashion Trust US Awards when she arrived in a lace Zuhair Murad dress.

The long-sleeved garment had a high neckline, a corset bodice that hugged her body, and a see-through skirt that reached the floor.

The daring outfit choice stood out on the pink carpet and showed how drastically Ballerini's style has evolved over the years.

Reba McEntire's look at the ACM Awards was almost perfect.

The country legend was in attendance that night wearing a fun pair of lace pants with black fringe and sparkles. And her blazer was equally eye-catching thanks to its all-over rhinestones.

But McEntire's overall look missed the mark because of her turquoise jewelry. Her statement necklace and rings were a bold choice that took away from the chic suit.

Kane Brown sparkled his way down the pink carpet of the 2024 Lo Nuestro Awards.

Brown looked dapper in his two-piece outfit, including black trousers with sparkling stripes and a matching jacket over a satin blouse.

He also accessorized perfectly with dress shoes, a black cowboy hat, and minimal jewelry.

But Zach Bryan didn't stand out at this year's Grammy Awards.

He arrived on the red carpet wearing a standard black tuxedo, as well as an undershirt and bow tie in the same dark shade.

The solid shade made Bryan blend into the background during much of the event, and didn't highlight his new star power.

A different-colored jacket or one with a print could have worked better.

Kacey Musgraves had a standout moment in denim at the 2024 CMA Awards.

She wore a Georges Hobeika midi dress made from light-wash denim and embellished with teardrop crystals.

The form-fitting piece also had a sweetheart neckline and long, feathered sleeves, adding Hollywood glamour to the classic Western fabric.

But Kelsea Ballerini's sparkling dress had one noticeable issue at the same event.

Her Dolce & Gabbana frock was shapeless and floor length, with large silver sequins decorating its white fabric.

While its metallic shine complemented Ballerini, the gown's bodice had too much fabric. The excess created odd shapes as she walked and distracted from the overall look.

Shaboozey wore a mint-green suit that cemented his place as one of the best-dressed country stars of the year.

His custom three-piece from La Roxx included a black, sparkling button-up, a beaded jacket with his name painted across the back, and trousers with rose prints down each leg.

But the most memorable piece of Shaboozey's showstopping look that night was his footwear.

He wore a black pair of Crocs covered in sparkles, which made them look more like dressy loafers than rubber shoes.

Everything Ariana Grande has worn this year, ranked from worst to best

Ariana Grande CinemaCon 2024 in Las Vegas on April 10.

  • Ariana Grande has traveled around the world this year while promoting "Wicked."
  • She's worn one showstopping look after another for stops in New York, London, and other cities.
  • Her best outfits have been pink and frilly, while her worst have been neutral and overly simple.

Ariana Grande has been booked and busy this year.

While promoting "Wicked," the two-part film in which she plays Glinda, the actor and musician has traveled the world alongside her costars. And for each appearance, she's stepped up her style.

From Oz-inspired gowns to simple minidresses, here's a look at what she's worn throughout 2024 — ranked from worst to best.

The two ensembles that Ariana Grande wore on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" weren't her best.

She first chatted with the talk-show host in a black Balmain dress. It had white, rose-shaped buttons down its bodice and a short circle skirt.

Though Grande's outfit was classic, especially paired with sheer tights and white Jimmy Choo heels, the garment was altered drastically from its runway state, which made it less unique.

The musician later changed into a black, asymmetrical Mugler outfit, which was more interesting in shape and style.

Unfortunately, the lace cat mask she wore across her face made the outfit look too much like a costume.

The style of the pink ensemble she sported in New York City in November aged her.

Grande was photographed wearing a $1,555 pink minidress from The Vampire's Wife and darker satin heels. She also carried a $460 Vivienne Westwood purse.

Her dress was aptly named "I'll Get You, My Pretty" — a nod to the Wicked Witch of the West's quote from the 1939 "Wizard of Oz" film.

But its light-pink color washed Grande out, and its shapeless style aged her.

Grande wore a few cute outfits for her "Saturday Night Live" appearance. But one dress was ultimately forgettable.

The actor filmed promotional videos alongside Bowen Yang and Stevie Nicks, wearing a brown leather dress from JW Anderson and semi-sheer tights.

The sleeveless piece had a scooped neckline and a wide-brimmed miniskirt, which made for a fun silhouette.

But because of the piece's neutral color and Grande's minimal accessories, the understated outfit didn't stand out from the rest of her wardrobe that night.

The white outfit she wore to an October "Wicked" screening in New York was cute but overly simple.

Grande sported a Versace outfit, including a cream asymmetrical vest, pleated skirt, and a $1,995 purse from the Italian brand. She completed the outfit with white pumps.

She looked classy and chic, but her outfit didn't raise the bar like others she wore at prior "Wicked" events.

The same top paired with a more interesting skirt or pants, especially in a different color, could have helped the outfit.

The designer gown she wore to the 2024 Innovator Awards had the opposite problem.

Vivienne Westwood designed her strapless dress, which had a corseted bodice, a short tutu skirt, and a longer overlay with floral details.

Grande also wore white Gianvito Rossi heels and statement Swarovski jewelry.

The "Wicked" star looked stunning, and her outfit was beyond glamorous. But because of its white color and mesh fabric, the garment had a bridal feel that didn't fit the movie's vibe.

She arrived on the black carpet wearing a custom ensemble from Thom Browne. It comprised a strapless dress, a matching shawl, and short gloves — all of which featured a pink-and-white checked pattern.

Not only was the dress sweet and subtly reminiscent of her "Wicked" character but it was also tailored to perfection.

Grande completed the look with sparkling silver heels, pearl earrings, and a pink bow in her hair.

She wore a similar style — which has become her signature this year — for an event in Australia a few days earlier.

She was photographed at the photocall wearing a white strapless top with pink bow details and a matching pleated skirt from Bode. She also wore $925 heels from Manolo Blahnik.

The outfit was cute, themed to her character, and just casual enough for the event.

The best minidress Grande has worn this year was shaped like a flower.

She attended CinemaCon in a $6,990 minidress from Oscar de la Renta. Made from organza and floral appliqué, the dress looked like one big flower blooming from the center of her waist.

The dress was youthful, fun, and perfectly suited Grande's bright demeanor. She wore it with $975 Jimmy Choo heels.

Grande seemingly channeled Audrey Hepburn for the 2024 Academy Museum Gala.

She embraced the glamour of old-school Hollywood and acting legends like Hepburn with a white polka-dot gown from Balmain.

The vintage piece was strapless with a band of black mesh across the neckline and a large bow beneath it. It also featured a black belt around the waist.

The gown's style was classic rather than outdated. And its timeless aesthetic worked for her.

The pink outfit Grande wore in Paris was perfect for both her "Wicked" character and a trip to the famous city.

Thom Browne made the A-line dress custom for Grande. It had a structured and sleeveless bodice, as well as a full pleated skirt with a small bow attached at the waist.

The dress looked pretty and chic, but Grande's accessories took the overall outfit to another level.

She added pink-and-white heels, gloves that extended past her wrists, small earrings, and a delicate bow to hold her hair back.

One of her best outfits of the year came even earlier in March.

For the Oscars in March, the superstar donned one of her first Glinda-inspired looks of the year: a two-piece Giambattista Valli set.

The fun outfit featured a strapless, floor-length gown ruched from top to bottom and a puffy shawl wrapped around her waist.

With the statement-making outfit, Grande proved she knows how to fashionably kick off a press tour.

Grande perfectly mixed her style with Glinda's at the 2024 Met Gala.

The "Wicked" star wore Loewe to the 2024 Met Gala, mixing the magic of Glinda's style with Grande's red-carpet shine.

Her strapless gown had a corset bodice with a mother-of-pearl finish and an iridescent skirt designed with pleats and varying shades to mirror the iridescence of pearls.

The off-white shades suited Grande, and her petal eye makeup made her ensemble look even more whimsical.

She made a case for couture costumes at the Australian premiere of "Wicked."

She walked the red carpet — or the yellow brick road, in this case — wearing a custom Vivienne Westwood dress.

The corseted piece was pink, decorated with silver sparkles across its bodice and puffed sleeves, and covered in frills down its full skirt. And Grande added more glitz with statement jewels from Lorraine Schwartz.

The feminine ensemble showed Grande's dedication to her "Wicked" role and her high-fashion take on the beloved character.

Grande had her best fashion moment of the year at the Mexico "Wicked" premiere, where she took inspiration from Glinda's opalescent bubble.

She was photographed at the event wearing an opalescent gown from Versace.

Its strapless corset had a V-shaped plunge down its center, while its full skirt was elegantly ruffled. But most impressive was the white gown's pink shine, making it look much like Glinda's famous bubble.

The outfit was fun, memorable, and undoubtedly Grande's best look of the year so far.
