Make Page Six a Preferred Source Talk about a grande entrance.
After taking a much-needed step back from the spotlight for a few months, Ariana Grande returned to the red carpet for Wednesday’s “Focker-in-Law” premiere in NYC.
The 33-year-old actress and musician wore a gray plaid vintage Badgley Mischka gown from the ’90s for the major moment.
The floor-length silk gown featured beaded flowers at the bust and delicate spaghetti straps.
Though Grande has sported her signature lengthy ponytail for most of her career, she chopped her hair into a bob just a few weeks ago, signaling a fresh start.
She did, however, sport a ponytail Wednesday — albeit shorter — wrapping a cream bow around her locks.
She finished off the chic look with hoop earrings and glam makeup.
Stylist Law Roach spoke to Extra about the spot-on fashion choice, sharing that he saw the piece a few months ago and thought it was a fun pick for the movie.

“It just reminds me of like the ’90s or early 2000s when the original came out, so that’s kind of like the story behind it,” he explained, referring to 2000’s “Meet the Parents” starring Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro.
“I saw it and it just felt so Ari, you know?” he added.
This marks the “Petal” singer’s first appearance on a step-and-repeat in almost a year, and also her first red carpet appearance with boyfriend Ricky Alvarez.
She last graced the red carpet at January’s Golden Globes, dressed in a corseted black Vivienne Westwood gown styled with Swarovski jewels.
Grande announced her desire to press pause on her public appearances following a whirlwind few years that included back-to-back “Wicked” press circuits and her “Eternal Sunshine” tour.
“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny,” Grande’s rep shared in a statement in August.
“This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”
