Grande's transition from an age-appropriate teen sensation to a daring pop sensation was slow and steady. Many of Grande's early looks seemed like she was trying to define her style, likely explaining her experimentation with statement colors like crimson here.

Around this time, Grande had just released her first album, and she was finding her own style as a budding pop-star.
The bright neon-lit outfit that she wore to perform at the 2013 Country Music Awards alongside Little Big Town was unique, and solidified her as an artist to watch, and potential style icon.

In the beginning of Grande's career, she was a sweet Nickelodeon teen sensation, but soon after her intro into the music scene, she blossomed into a full-fledged woman.
After transitioning from kid-star to pop-star, Grande began experimenting with her look, and grew more daring.
Her leather Moschino look at the 2014 MTV VMAs was one of her first daring red-carpet looks, separating her from her former child-star image tastefully. She paired it with matching thigh-high leather boots, adding to the drama.

Grande did the custom Vera Wang dress so much justice that it's one of her best and most daring looks to date, given the structure and design of the Met Gala gown.
Although Grande's stylist Law Roach kept her aligned with the 2018 Met Gala theme, he also intentionally made the overall look still Grande-appropriate.
"It was just all about romance with her," Law Roach told Women's Wear Daily. "There is a bit of drama there, there is a silhouette that we are used to seeing her in but, of course, more elevated and more appropriate for the event. It is very recognizably Ariana Grande, for sure."

With input from famed celebrity stylist Law Roach, Grande was able to wear some of her best ensembles on her 2019 "Sweetener" world tour.
"I always like to say if you put anyone behind a screen with a long pony, an A-line skirt, an over-the-knee boot, the first thing that comes to everybody's mind is now Ariana Grande," Roach told People. "I really do think that one of her ponytails will end up in the Smithsonian one day, that's how iconic I believe that ponytail is."
This look specifically consisted of a belted crop top with puffy sleeves, a studded leather skirt, and thigh-high patent leather boots and, of course, her ponytail.

Everything about this look screamed country-chic, and the fabulous monochromatic color scheme was designed by the one-and-only Prabal Gurung. She added a string of pearls, elbow-length gloves, and a white cowboy hat to complete the look.

Her petite frame was accentuated by both the high-waisted pencil style miniskirt and the long-sleeved bustier crop top featuring padded shoulders.
The vibrant shades of blue and green capture your attention, much like a peacock would.
Grande's choice to wear an outfit designed by Sohee Park is testament to her new daring fashion outlook.

At the 2020 Grammys, Grande reached peak excellence in her fashion journey — Insider even named her one of the best-dressed of the night. She looked like total fashion royalty in this gray gown, paired with her signature high ponytail and opera-length gray gloves, styled by Law Roach.
During E!'s 2020 Grammys coverage, correspondent Zanna Roberts Rassi shared that Grande's frequent fashion collaborator and stylist Roach told her that "the moment [Ariana] tried this on, he burst into tears and [Grande] was like, 'well, this is the dress then.'"
