Pop icon Ariana Grande is stepping into a whole new era—one that blends magic, vulnerability, and a bold fashion statement. In her latest cover shoot for Vogue Italia’s March 2025 issue, Grande redefines fantasy fashion in a surreal editorial that’s already making waves online.
Shot by the visionary photographer Elizaveta Porodina and styled by Max Ortega, the feature titled “Pure Fantasy”takes us into an ethereal world where Ariana appears part celestial goddess, part high-fashion muse.
A Visual Dream
In this dreamy photo series, Ariana stuns in dramatic, Victorian-inspired looks from Valentino’s Spring 2025 collection, designed by Alessandro Michele. Think layers of soft tulle, sequins, and silhouettes that feel like they were plucked straight from a gothic fairytale. Her hair is slicked into a clean high bun, paired with soft makeup and bold lips—elegant, minimal, and deeply expressive.
Behind the Lens
Photographer Porodina called working with Ariana “a dream come true,” praising her for being focused, kind, and creatively in tune. “She’s funny, smart, and talented. It was a magical day,” Porodina shared on social media following the shoot.
The chemistry between artist and muse clearly shines through each image—each frame is rich in emotion and detail, transporting viewers to a space that feels intimate yet larger than life.
Ariana Opens Up
In her Vogue Italia interview, Ariana touches on her journey of self-discovery, her relationship with astrology, and how playing Glinda in the upcoming Wicked film has been transformative. She describes herself as a water sign (Cancer), and talks about the healing that came after her parents’ divorce. "I feel like I'm finally returning to myself," she says.
She also emphasizes the importance of female connection, saying, “I hope this can be a time of sisterhood, feminine strength, and a certain female magic.” A powerful statement from someone whose career is now expanding from pop charts to Broadway stages and back again.
What’s in Her Bag?
In the accompanying In The Bag video, Ariana offers a peek into her everyday essentials: lavender oil, a crystal ball, handwritten notes from loved ones, and yes—she’s still team wired headphones. It’s quirky, charming, and very Ariana.
The Reaction
The editorial has drawn plenty of attention. Fans are calling it “art,” praising the fairytale vibe and poetic styling. Others have been more divided, calling the visuals striking but unconventional. Either way, it’s got people talking—and that’s exactly what fashion should do.
A New Chapter
Vogue Italia continues to push creative boundaries under editor-in-chief Francesca Ragazzi, and this issue proves they’re not afraid to lean into artful storytelling. With past covers featuring Lana Del Rey and Linda Evangelista, Ariana’s shoot adds a new layer to the magazine’s evolving identity.
Final Thoughts
This shoot isn’t just about fashion—it’s about transformation. Ariana Grande is embracing growth, softness, power, and a touch of fantasy. Whether she’s singing, acting, or reinventing herself through style, she reminds us what it looks like to evolve unapologetically—and beautifully.
