Ariana Grande made a dazzling return to the red carpet at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony on July 26. The pop sensation captivated the audience not only with her presence but also with a surprise debut of a new product from her beauty line, r.e.m. beauty.
Grande, known for her powerful vocals and style, showcased a brand-new gel pencil eyeliner from her makeup brand. The product, a gel kohl eyeliner pencil priced at $17, was featured in a rich brown shade called Teddy Bear. Her makeup artist, Michael Anthony, expertly applied this eyeliner to enhance Grande’s striking look for the event.
In addition to the eyeliner, Grande’s makeup was a masterpiece of subtle elegance. Her cheeks were given a radiant glow with the Hypernova Satin Mattin Blush in the shade Pinking of You. For her highlight, Anthony used the Highlighter Topper in Miss Mercury, which added a touch of shimmer to her complexion.
Her lips were adorned with a combination of r.e.m. beauty’s Lip Stain Marker in Booked n Busy and the Plumping Lip Gloss in Pink Razor, creating a perfect finishing touch to her makeup look.
Grande’s ensemble for the evening was a custom creation by Thom Browne. She wore a midi-length duchess silk satin dress in a delicate baby pink hue, featuring a drop waist and a bow that complemented her elegant updo. The sophisticated gown accentuated her refined style, making her stand out at the prestigious event.
Accompanying Grande was her “Wicked” co-star Cynthia Erivo. Erivo’s look was equally striking, featuring an emerald-green strapless dress that was accessorized with a wide-brimmed hat and Roberto Coin jewels, perfectly complementing Grande’s appearance.
Grande’s appearance at the Olympics marked a significant moment as it was her return to the red carpet after a four-year hiatus. Her choice of attire and the introduction of her new beauty product made a notable impact, adding to the glamour of the event and reinforcing her status as a style icon.
