The latest red carpet dress by Ariana Grande is a departure from her old, Hollywood -inspired style strip, which can be seen in the latest award ceremonies. For the 2025 Critics Choice Awards on Friday in Santa Monica, California, the singer wore an avant-garde cage dress from Dior’s Spring 2024 Couture Collection.
Grande’s dress showed a shape from a network and a voluminous cäfigrock that resembled a bird nest that was arranged in long, flowing strands. The shoulders were decorated with collected grapes of the same material and created an organic, sculptural effect.
