When Grande is making headlines in Hollywood, fans are especially eager to analyze every alteration in her appearance. Her looks are constantly examined (popstars and now actors, am I right) while she preps for her next project post Wicked, where she played Glinda alongside Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba.
One thing is clear: Grande understands how to keep her audience guessing, regardless of whether in anticipation of a dramatic new hairstyle or a response to her choice of hat.
From dark roots to wild theories, Ariana Grande's hair mystery keeps fans guessing
As the internet exploded with theories about what may be behind Ariana's veiled head, fans couldn't resist letting their imagination go wild. Is her natural brunette hair making a comeback? Or is she preparing something even more spectacular? Let's examine some fan responses to this hair mystery:
Fans seem to be excited to see her rock the dark hair again: (via @LAURENDAN1ELLE on X)
One fan (@needyspinnin on X) exclaimed,
“HER HAIR LOOKS BROWN,” sparking speculation that Ariana may have ditched her usual platinum look in favor of something more low-key.
And we sure hope that fans (@zahraelise_ on X) are all alright after falling to their knees.
Another fan (@Patricia01Real on X) added to the mix with a playful theory, saying,
“Hair covered? She’s either hiding something or starting a new trend.”
The mystery deepened as people tried to figure out the real reason behind the covered hair.
Others weren’t buying into the drama. One amused user (@HoneyGoldxx on X) chimed in,
“She’s probably just cold and y’all writing conspiracy theories in the comments,” brushing off the mystery with a casual explanation.
And some seemed to want a rest from all the theories and speculations (via @Tsymonexxxx on X)
Another fan (@Madisonxheights on X) echoed this and sarcastically wrote,
“Breaking news: woman wears a hat in public. More at 11,” poking fun at the overblown reaction to what could be a very simple choice of accessory.
However, nothing could stop the fans from posting throwback pictures of their favorite dark hair Ariana looks: (via @TylerWorell17 on X)
A particularly witty comment by a user (@royal_bobby24 on X) compared Ariana’s behavior to that of K-pop idols who often conceal their hair color before a big reveal:
“She looks like a kpop idol hiding her new hair color from fans before her next comeback,” adding to the playful vibe of the conversation.
And perhaps the most relatable comment of all came from a fan (@CiciiLovesYou on X) who speculated,
“Y’all think she’s dropping an album, but she’s probably just trying to get Starbucks in peace 🥹.”
Ariana’s hair evolution and current projects
One of Ariana Grande's most identifiable characteristics has always been her hair. From the flaming red hair she wore during her Victorious days to the classic high ponytail that became her hallmark look during her music career, her style has evolved over the course of her career, and this growth is well chronicled.
Her recent platinum blonde hair look for Wicked has been a topic of discussion among her fans. Another chapter in her hair narrative might just get added by the covered-up style that has admirers talking, but it's evident from her most recent public appearance that people are still curious about Ariana's hair, both on and off-screen.
