By Alice Dawkins Published: Aug 23, 2023
Singer, actress, fashion icon, business woman and owner of possibly the most famous ponytail on the planet, Ariana Grande really is THAT girl. Her iconic look has become so symbolic of the pop culture landscape of the 2010s that she even dedicated an entire song to her luxe lengths (IYKYK).
But, before becoming a regular to the top of the charts, Ari has come a long way since the beginning of her career. Starring in 13 The Musical in 2008, the pint-sized superstar was just 14 years old when she began showcasing her talents to the masses. From there, her fame grew just as fast as her ponytail.
Six albums, ten perfumes, three world tours and a makeup brand later, the singer has truly cemented herself as one of the biggest popstars of this generation.
From 2010 to 2023, take a trip down Honeymoon Avenue to see our favourite looks from the Dangerous Woman herself.
