Ariana Grande fans can officially start to “rejoicify” as the pop superstar and actress gears up for what promises to be a stunning fashion showcase during her upcoming press tour for Wicked: For Good. In a conversation with PEOPLE, celebrity stylist Law Roach gave fans a glimpse of what’s to come from Grande’s upcoming promotional looks for the highly anticipated Wicked sequel and it sounds like pure magic. Law Roach on Creating a Fashion Fantasy for Ariana Grande https://people.com/law-roach-teases-ariana-grande-wicked-for-good-press-tour-looks-outfits-exclusive-11836624 Speaking at the Anastasia Soare and Oprah Winfrey in Conversation at Raising Brows event in Los Angeles on October 23, Roach offered a behind-the-scenes peek into the creative process that goes into crafting Grande’s show-stopping looks. “Oh, baby, there’s a mood board. There are hours and hours of fitting and laughing and swearing. It’s just a lot of daydreaming and imagination,” Roach teased, hinting at the elaborate vision being built for Grande’s upcoming press tour. The Emmy-winning stylist, who has dressed some of Hollywood’s biggest names, revealed that the collaboration between him, Grande and the designers is not just about glamour — it’s about gratitude. Ariana Grande’s Appreciation for Designers Shines Through Roach praised Grande’s humility and gratitude when it comes to her partnership with designers. “What people need to know about her is her gratitude and appreciation, one to be playing, you know, this role, but also, she’s so excited and grateful to the designers who are making these gowns and dresses for her,” he shared. He added that Grande often expresses her appreciation directly to the designers. “She thanks them whenever she talks to the designers on the phone,” Roach said, emphasising how genuine the Oscar-nominated performer is in every aspect of her career. The stylist also highlighted the lighthearted dynamic between him and the singer, noting that their shared zodiac sign adds a special connection to their creative process. “We’re both Cancers,” Roach explained. “We both have big personalities and really funny humour. It’s us making each other laugh, lots of jokes.” Reuniting with Ariana: “Like Coming Back Home” When asked if he feels any pressure to top the looks from the Wicked press tour for the first film, Roach didn’t hesitate to respond. “No pressure at all,” he said confidently. “Because Ari and I worked together for years before she became an actress. Well, she was an actress first, then she was a pop star, then she was an actress again. So we worked together.” For Roach, styling Grande again feels effortless and familiar. “It’s just like coming back home, like two good friends reunited, and get to play in clothes — and a lot of clothes — which is so fun,” he added with a laugh. Their long-standing creative partnership has spanned multiple eras of Grande’s career, from red carpet moments to music video looks and now extends into her movie star era. Inside Wicked: For Good — The Next Chapter of a Beloved Tale The upcoming film, Wicked: For Good, continues the story of Wicked, the musical phenomenon inspired by Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. This imaginative re-telling flips the narrative of The Wizard of Oz, revealing the untold friendship and rivalry between Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned witch and Glinda, the bright and bubbly Good Witch. In the movie, Ariana Grande takes on the beloved role of Glinda, bringing her trademark charm and vocal brilliance to one of Broadway’s most iconic characters. The film also stars Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Ethan Slater and more. Directed by Jon M. Chu, Wicked: For Good is set to hit theaters on November 21, continuing the two-part cinematic adaptation of the hit Broadway musical.
