Ariana Grande transforms into ‘Wicked’ witch Glinda with new blond hair

What is this hair color, so sudden and new?

Ariana Grande is getting into character for the forthcoming “Wicked” movie with a dramatic blond hair transformation worthy of Glinda the Good Witch.

“New earrings,” the pop star, 29, coyly captioned an Instagram photo of her new platinum ponytail Wednesday.

Grande’s friends and fans understandably freaked out, with Jonathan Van Ness calling the look “Iconique” and Gottmik hailing her as “A BLONDE DIVA.”

“Ohh Hi old friend,” commented hairstylist Chris Appleton, who was responsible for the last time Grande went blond for her 2018 “Sweetener” album.

“Blondiana just shattered the internet,” a fan gushed, while another nodded to a “Wicked” song, quipping, “you’re gonna be popular.”

Over two million people liked Grande’s snap in the first hour after she posted.

It was announced that Grande would be playing the bubbly blond witch in the onscreen adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical in November 2021, with Cynthia Erivo cast as the green-skinned Elphaba.

In April 2022, director Jon M. Chu revealed that the flick will be split into two parts — to be released on Christmas Day 2024 and 2025 — to the dismay of fans, some of whom called it a “money grab.”

While the star is filming the movie(s), she’s still keeping busy with her beauty business, continuing to expand her R.E.M. Beauty line and recently launching new God Is A Woman Body products with Ulta Beauty.

Though theater geeks will have to wait more than a year to see “Wicked” on the big screen, Grande’s still working her magic elsewhere.
