A Look Back at Ariana Grande’s Best Beauty Moments

25 years ago, a star was born.
Throughout the years, Ariana Grande has transformed before our eyes from a fresh-faced Broadway actress into a chart-topping pop diva. However, one thing has constantly remained the same, her go-to signature hairstyle. Ariana’s ponytail evolution has been discussed thoroughly, with diehard fans already being familiar with the origin story of the famous high pony, but even after departing Nickelodeon shows Victorious and Sam & Cat, Grande’s updo is here to stay, becoming an iconic symbol of her pop star persona.
In honour of her birthday, we’ve rounded up the best Ariana beauty looks we just can’t get enough of—ponytail or not.
