What Does Ariana Grande's Bob Mackie Dress Symbolize?
Ariana Grande is set to host Saturday Night Live this weekend, and it's hard not to feel the excitement! With the legendary Cher joining as the musical guest, this pairing promises an unforgettable show. So, what stunning outfit will our beloved former Glinda don for this special occasion? It seems she has truly outdone herself. In a promotional video for the upcoming episode (check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHFiX_y9Amg), Grande is seen wearing a remarkable piece of television history: a vintage Bob Mackie gown that was originally showcased by Carol Burnett during the opening monologue of The Carol Burnett Show back in 1973.
This striking halter dress features a vibrant chevron pattern in shades of yellow, brown, and orange. The gown was expertly sourced by stylist Law Roach, known for his innovative fashion sense, who acquired it at an auction for a hefty $3,840 earlier this month (see more details at https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/items/2088797/carol-burnett-1973-bob-mackie-gown-ensemble-the-carol-burnett-show). Wearing this iconic outfit, Grande pays homage not just to Burnett as a legendary figure in comedy, but also to Cher, one of Bob Mackie’s most famous inspirations.
In my opinion, this may very well be one of Grande’s most stunning looks in recent times, and isn't it refreshing to see her stepping away from pink? It certainly makes a statement!
