Ariana Grande Picks Out Pristine Aldo Slingback Pumps to Accent Ethereal ‘Wicked’ Pink Dress at the 2025 SAG Awards
Ariana Grande brought her “Wicked” character Glinda’s ethereal aesthetic to the 31st SAG Awards, which took place at Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Feb. 23. The actress and singer was dressed up in a pale pink Loewe gown for the occasion, and the look was punctuated by classic white pointed slingback pumps from Aldo.
Like many ensembles showcased since entering her “Wicked” era, a pastel pink color dominated Grande’s look at the awards show on Sunday. The Loewe dress exuded vintage elegance with semi-sheer off-the-shoulder sleeves and a flowing skirt that swept the floor. The fitted bodice was adorned with feathery floral appliqués; this three-dimensional design became less concentrated across the skirt but was maintained down the garment. Her jewelry for the night were sparkling diamonds from Jared Atelier, including a choker, ring and dangly earrings.
Falling in line with several previous shoe choices of recent times, Grande complemented her Loewe gown with white slingback pumps from Aldo — specifically the brand’s $110 Stessysling. While partially obscured by her dress, the pair featured a pointed toe, a classic and fierce characteristic of the longstanding footwear style. The affordable footwear choice isn’t entirely surprising, given Aldo released a footwear collection in 2024 inspired by “Wicked” and Grande donned custom pink pumps from the brand on “Saturday Night Live,” a pair inspired by the aforementioned collection.

Grande’s white footwear at the SAG Awards was certainly unsurprising given several of her fashion moments displayed within the past year. She showcased white pumps from the Jimmy Choo in April at CinemaCon 2024, for example. She’s also stepped out in white Gianvito Rossi pumps as well white Loewe pumps, with the latter featuring a distinctive rounded square toe.
The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards will take place tonight, Feb. 23, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Kristen Bell will host the ceremony, which can be streamed live via Netflix with a subscription. Top stars set to attend include Pamela Anderson, Quinta Brunson, Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Cynthia Erivo, Ralph Fiennes, Harrison Ford, Lily Gladstone, Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande. “Wicked” leads the charge with five nominations, going up against flicks like “Emilia Perez” with three and “A Complete Unknown” with four. During the ceremony, legendary actress Jane Fonda will receive the Lifetime Achievement award.
