Ariana Grande teases a Wicked themed r.e.m. beauty collab
This is going to be AMAZING ✨
Last updated 23rd May 2024
As if Ariana Grande starring in the upcoming Wicked movies isn't exciting enough, the singer/actress has now upped the ante even further. Sharing a partial image of a new collection, Ariana has teased a collaboration between her very own brand r.e.m. beauty and the Wicked movie.
That's right, it's looking like we'll be able to master our Land of Oz looks as we prepare for the first instalment of the Wicked movies to drop, with a Wicked/Oz inspired make-up collection launching with r.e.m. beauty.
Although no further details have been divulged, Ari shared a sneak peek at the collection to her Instagram Story. On what looks like a large book, serving as the packaging, we can see Wicked-esque illustrations, surrounding the r.e.m. beauty and Wicked logos.
Of course, the tease sparked a lot of excitement with fans, with one taking to X to write: 'it’s coming omg' (sic), and another adding: 'i need this immediately!!' (sic)
Although that's the only tease we've had so far from the collection, we think it's safe to assume there'll be plenty of greens, pinks, and shimmers for us to work away with - just in time for the film's release on 27th November 2024.
The thrilling tease comes just a week after the official trailer dropped for the highly-anticipated Wicked movie, which showed Ari alongside fellow starring actors such as Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum.
With the trailer showing off the stunning production we can expect to see - including the stunning rainbow fields in the Land of Oz - it's fair to say there's a stunning palette to work with when it comes to a make-up collection.
