GRANDE AMBITION

A voice with no boundaries

- Aharris@postmedia.com

Cat ears, cat eyes (liner, that is) and super-high ponytails — Ariana Grande has gained as much attention for her signature style throughout the years as she has for her songs (and, ahem, those provocativ­e lyrics). In recent years, Grande’s style has become more sophistica­ted, but she still continues to rock her trademark ponytail, crop tops and plenty of leg-baring hemlines. Some things, it seems, don’t change.

THE HAIR

Hairstylis­t Aaron Light is the mastermind behind Grande’s trademark high ponytail. While she previously sported the look with a half-up half-down approach, lately her locks have been reaching new lengths.

THE MAKEUP

Grande has long been a fan of sporting a faux glow, precise cat eyeliner, lengthy lashes and nude lips. Lately, the star’s makeup artist, Daniel Chinchilla, has been switching things up adding in a statement lip in berry mattes and retro reds.

THE EARS

Grande fully embraced the whole cat-ear headband thing. Fully. In 2014, it was rare to get a glimpse of the star — on the red carpet, on stage or on her social feeds — without them. She even wore them in her music video for the song Love Me Harder, featuring The Weeknd. Even though the accessory seemed like an unlikely thing to catch on with the rest of the world, it somehow did.

Grande reportedly began wearing the ears one Halloween and never took them off. But the ears have been making fewer appearance­s lately in favour of more sophistica­ted accoutreme­nts.

THE OUTFITS

No two ways about it, Grande is big on sporting sexy styles.

But while the star appears to favour crop tops and mini skirts both on and offstage, she seems to be embracing a slightly more sophistica­ted style since acquiring the help of celebrity stylist Law Roach (who works with Zendaya and Celine Dion).

Since pairing with Roach in 2015, Grande has upped her sartorial range by wearing a host of high-fashion designers — from Christian Siriano and Versace to Alexander McQueen and Giambattis­ta Valli — on the red carpet.

But fans can expect to see their fair share of crop tops and short skirts on display during her Dangerous Woman Tour stop at Rogers Arena.
