“The last time I hosted was in 2016, and we were right on the verge of electing our first female president, so I guess second time’s the charm,” Grande joked.
During her appearance, Grande showed off her impression of Jennifer Coolidge in a sketch featuring cast member Chloe Fineman and “SNL” alum Dana Carvey.
In promotional videos for the episode, the “Eternal Sunshine” artist sported another voluminous look, this time from JW Anderson’s spring 2025 collection. Grande paired her brown leather minidress with sheer tights and pointed-toe pumps.
Both looks were curated by Grande’s stylist, Mimi Cuttrell, who also dresses celebrities like Gigi Hadid and “Outer Banks” star Madelyn Cline.
The first installment of “Wicked,” John Chu’s film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical, debuts in theaters on Nov. 22. Cynthia Erivo costars as Elphaba, with other notable cast members including Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan Bailey. A sequel to the film is slated for a 2025 release.
Grande and Erivo attended the 2024 Paris Olympics in June, where both actresses wore Thom Browne looks. At the women’s artistic gymnastics qualifiers, Grande selected a belted Thom Browne boatneck dress and oversize round frames.
