Ariana Grande Just Posted Her First Selfie of 2018, and Her Hair Looks So Different Now
In case you missed it, singer-songwriter Ariana Grande is about to drop some brand-new music this upcoming Friday, April 20. The 24-year-old took to her Instagram page (for which it's worth noting she's been silent on last December) to tease what we can only assume is a new single titled, "No Tears Left to Cry." As if this announcement wasn't enough newness to get fans excited, Grande also debuted a completely new look — the kind of look we suspect people will be talking about for days (maybe even longer).
The newness came in — what else? — but the form of a beautifully lit shot, which the star sneakily posted to her Instagram Stories. In the photo, Grande has her eyes closed, showing off gorgeous lilac-colored shadow, bold brows, and ultra-long lashes. Makeup artist Patrick Ta also shared the selfie on his Instagram page, writing, "NO TEARS LEFT TO CRY💧 @arianagrande Makeup By @patrickta Hair By @chrisappleton1."
Now let's get to the best part: her hair. The mastermind behind Grande's gorgeous style is none other than Chris Appleton, aka renowned hairstylist to celebs like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez. The style in question features a sky-high braided topknot with three tiny inside out fishtail plaits front and center appliqued with what appears to be pearls. Yes, pearls. The look proves equal parts classic and inventive and is definitely a refreshing departure from the signature half-up style Grande's become known for.
Needless to say, we couldn't be happier to see Ari back and living her best life — with the best glam we've seen in a hot minute.
