4. This Still-Good Victorious Throwback
Red-haired Ariana Grande was a simpler time. When she was on Victorious, we didn’t know we were all watching a star unfold. We totally should have guessed it, though, based on *perfect* looks like this ’50s-inspired two-piece set from 2012.

9. This Bustier & White Pants Combo
If there was anything that could make me want to wear lingerie as real clothes, it was this look from the 2016 American Music Awards red carpet. Ariana Grande has never looked so sexy. (OK, so actually, she looks sexier with each outfit, but you know what I mean. This was a winning look!)
10. Her Incomparable 2020 Grammys Slay
Wearing custom Giambattista Valli, Ariana Grande brought her A-game to the 2020 Grammys. All other princesses (real and fictional) can step aside, because this is what royalty looks like.

11. Every Outfit From The “Thank U, Next” Music Video

Those white wings? Ethereal. We know the song is called “Don’t Call Me Angel,” but Ariana Grande looks like she just floated down from heaven.
13. The Classic Oversized Sweatshirt & OTK Boots Look
It couldn’t be an Ariana Grande outfit round-up without mentioning her 2018 uniform: an oversized sweatshirt and over-the-knee boots. We know Grande and Pete Davidson didn’t last, but this photo of her licking a lollipop while in her signature look is timeless.
14. Her No-Clothes-At-All “God Is A Woman” Look
While every single look in Ariana Grande’s “God Is a Woman” music video is perfect, perhaps the most memorable is the part where she wore…nothing at all. Even without clothes, the star is my fashion icon.
