Ariana Grande makes 'healthy' comeback at 2026 Critics Choice Awards

Ariana Grande stunned at the 31st Critics Choice Awards as she posed for the cameras in a long, baby pink gown.

After keeping blonde locks for her Wicked era, the 32-year-old singer has finally embraced a brunette look as she recently dyed her hair.

However, fans noticed a major difference in her physique, highlighting her healthier appearance at the red carpet after the musician previously concerned everyone.

One of the Instagram users was of the opinion that the Everyday hitmaker “looks much healthier than she did” in her Glinda phase.

Another admirer was glad “[Ariana] has her brown hair back,” while a third netizen was of the opinion that the singer is “very Audrey Hepburn.”

It appears that the Grammy winner was channelling Audrey for the special event while there have been previous conversations of her playing the legend in a biopic.

The Side to Side crooner returned home empty handed despite being nominated in seven categories, including her nomination for best supporting actress in Wicked: For Good.

Many fans were of the opinion that she was snubbed at the ceremony while the award went to Amy Madigan for film Weapons.

Why did Ariana Grande loose weight?

This came after a major online buzz sparked about the Hollywood A-list star and her other co-stars' excessive weight loss transformations.

However, Ariana dismissed health issues and  insisted that the results are from her taking care of herself and maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
