Ariana Grande closed out awards season at the Oscars 2025 in a Glinda-inspired look featuring 190,000 crystals and rhinestones. The 'Wicked' star is a first-time nominee up for Best Supporting Actress and will perform with Cynthia Erivo.

E! News chats with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos about the talk show host's magical transformation into Ariana Grande's Glinda from 'Wicked' and their favorite behind-the-scenes moments from the 2025 Oscars.

After the entire Wicked press tour, and considering the pink and green looks from last year's Oscars, I knew Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo would slay at this year’s Academy Awards. However, I didn't expect them to actually defy gravity with their gowns!

Fans were left stunned after Kelly Ripa transformed into Ariana Grande from “Wicked.” During an Oscar-themed episode of “Live With Kelly and Mark,” the talk show host, 54, donned an identical outfit to that of Grande’s Glinda the Good Witch.
