Ariana Grande has surprised fans with a major change to her hairstyle. The singer has swapped her famous high ponytail for a short, retro-inspired bob.
Grande shared photos of her new look on Instagram on 22 October. The hairstyle marks one of her biggest beauty changes in years.
Her new cut sits around her jawline. It also features a deep side part and flicked-out ends. The rich brown colour gives the look a polished finish.
Goodbye to the Famous Ponytail
For years, Grande’s high ponytail has been one of her most recognisable features. She wore it throughout much of her music career.
Her look also changed during her time playing Glinda in Wicked. For the role, she adopted blonde hair and softer styles.
Now, the singer is embracing a completely different look. Her hairstylist, Brandon Pietsch, shared the transformation online.
He joked that her ponytail was taking a break. The comment quickly attracted attention from fans.
Fans and Ricky Alvarez React
The new hairstyle has received plenty of attention online. Fans praised the singer for trying something different.
Her boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez, also joined the conversation. He commented on her photos with a playful message: “i wanna ask you out.”
The comment added another talking point to the post. It also sparked reactions from fans following the couple.
A New Era for Ariana Grande?
The change comes after a busy period for Grande. She recently completed her Eternal Sunshine tour.
She is also preparing for the release of Focker-in-Law. The upcoming film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on 25 November.
Grande has previously spoken about taking a step back from public appearances. However, her latest photos show that she is still sharing moments with fans.
Whether the bob becomes her new signature look remains to be seen. For now, the singer is enjoying a fresh style and a new chapter.
