Ariana Grande's "sexy baby" look includes: a high ponytail, false eyelashes, outfits similar to underwear and an arrogant look. The last one worries me the most. The famous Buzzfeed portal noted: "Have you noticed that Ariana Grande looks like she's listening to a really bad joke?" And you can't argue with that.
However, this was not always the case.
Ariana as a child - 2008
Ariana is only 15 years old in this photo. And she looks like a completely different person here, doesn't she? No smug facial expression, just a sincere happy smile. There is no famous ponytail yet, the hair is naturally curly dark brown to match the eyebrows. Her skin color is natural and goes well with her dark hair. Pay attention to your nose, eyebrows and lips as they will undergo changes over time.
2009
In 2009, Ariana Grande dyed her hair for her role in Sam & Cat. This color suits her perfectly and effectively highlights the skin, giving it a peachy tint. From that moment on, Ariana began straightening her hair. Notice how close her eyebrows and eyes were.
2010
The color is still the same - red, only the hair has become longer. We don’t presume to judge, but it seems that from now on the sparkle in Ariana’s eyes that was there before has disappeared.
2011
Ariana is 18 years old and from that moment her radical transformation begins. She tries to use self-tanner, but its tone does not harmonize with the red shade of her hair. Bright lipstick was also new to her look. And it looks like the eyebrows have become much lighter.
Photo 2012
From now on, we won't see Ariana without her signature high ponytail. I had to have my hair extensions done because 4 years of dyeing for Sam & Cat filming had severely damaged it. Grande spoke about this herself. Ariana looks super cute with light makeup (which is much lighter than she is now) and softly tinted eyebrows. Upper lip seems plumper than in 2010. Whether this is due to makeup or merit is unknown.
2013
It was a pivotal year for Ariana. Her eyebrows began to migrate to the middle of her forehead, giving her face the famous arrogant expression. Red hair has been replaced by medium brown hair, but she still has a self-tanner (and in vain, because Ariana has a good natural skin color).
A clear example of how facial expressions can mischaracterize a person. And this is due to eyebrows that are higher than they should be. Most likely it is "Brow Lift" or. In addition, their ashen color does not harmonize with her skin tone.
Let’s say if she herself raises her eyebrows to make such an expression, then why are there no folds on her forehead? Most likely there were injections or.
2014
This year has become significant for Ariana Grande, elevating her to the status of a full-fledged pop diva! Everything about her look is striking in size: her hair has become lighter and three times thicker, her lips are overly contoured (there may well have been injections), her look is not complete without heavy false eyelashes, and her ashen eyebrows are still upturned. It seems as if the ponytail is pulling them up!
2015
In 2015, her hair color becomes dark, and suits her better than light brown the year before. Eyebrows look more natural (color, but not their location). Ariana looks good with similar eye makeup and delicate pink gloss on her lips. But now it's time to pay attention to the nose. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when this happened, but it looks different than it did in 2011.
Ariana in 2016
Ariana is 24 years old, she still wears a high ponytail and uses self-tanning. It looked like some of the baby swelling had gone off her face, making it look a little different. But the eyebrows are still set very high, which gives her facial expression an artificial look. And definitely, some manipulations were carried out on the nose, it looks like a slight narrowing.

Childhood
Ariana Grande was born on June 26 in Boca Raton, Florida. Her mother was a successful woman who for a long time ran one of the construction companies cities. Ariana's father was also a famous and respected man, since he was engaged in graphic design and even opened his own studio, where he accepted orders and taught everyone.
Since childhood, Grande has suffered from hypoglycemia. At moments when her illness worsened and became unbearable, her older brother Frankie, who was a born actor, tried in every possible way to support her. He often starred in commercials and even appeared several times in local theatrical productions. However, Frankie's career was not going well, so a few years after Ariana was born, he was forced to leave his family and leave the city in search of work as a producer.
At the age of 8, Ariana experiences her first shock - her parents are getting divorced. Not understanding what caused such a serious step, the girl completely withdraws into herself and does not speak to her mother for about six months. However, she does everything possible to ensure that young Grande does not feel a lack of attention. After some time, the relationship between daughter and mother improves again.
Youth and early career as an actress
In 2008, Ariana Grande was invited to star in the Broadway musical “13.” The offer comes from a fairly well-known production director, who up to this point has already seen the girl play in several performances. Having decided that one of the roles in his play would be ideal for Grande, he invites the girl, and she immediately accepts such an interesting and tempting offer. However, there is also “the other side of the coin” - productions most often take place in New York, and to participate in them the girl must also move. The mother, realizing that her daughter really wants to get into the musical, but is afraid to leave her alone, invites her to go together, and the problem is immediately solved.
After the success of the musical, Ariana experiences all the delights of celebrity life, one of the advantages of which is several invitations to filming. This is how the girl confirms her participation in the youth series “Victorious,” where she is invited by representatives of the Nickelodeon channel. A year after the release of the series, Ariana Grande becomes everyone’s favorite and the idol of millions of teenagers around the world. By the way, it is this series that becomes parallel to her business card, which subsequently allows her to receive interesting offers and sign multimillion-dollar contracts with famous directors.
Singer career
After filming the TV series “Victorious,” Ariana Grande realizes that her acting career is still in second place for her, significantly inferior to her passion for music. As the singer herself admits, she would never want to become a professional actress and completely forget about her singing career:
“I in no way deny that being an actress is great and fun, especially when you’re on set. But music is what is my passion, hobby, meaning of life...”
In 2011, Ariana Grande starred in the second season of the series and at the same time wrote soundtracks for it, which a few months later were combined into the album “Victorious” and distributed throughout the world. Covers and tracks of Grande's own compositions become public knowledge and quickly gain popularity. A year later, the singer, inspired by success in the musical field, records an album for the third season of the series, which is also bought up by a crowd of fans in a matter of days. However, this is where the singing career ends. In November of the same year, it became known that the fourth season of “Victorious” was no longer out of the question, since the actors were too busy filming in other films. And, accordingly, Ariana partially loses her earnings.
However, this is by no means the end of her career as a singer. Despite the fact that the actress has not recorded any songs for a year, her next album will be released in 2013. It is spreading relatively quickly throughout the country. Ariana's singles are starting to be heard on most radio stations, and some compositions become absolute hits. At the same time, Grande was nominated for several prestigious awards, but all the honor goes to the number one pop singer - Kesha. And Ariana receives the coveted statuettes only a couple of years after the first “failure.”
Personal life
In October 2014, on the set of one of the videos, Ariana Grande met rapper Big Sean. It would seem that they were made for each other: equally popular and famous, they love fame and money, they even have similar personalities. However, by 2015, Grande's official representative announced in the press that the romance between the singer and rapper had broken off.
And in July 2015, the young girl met the equally talented dancer Rikk Alvarez, with whom she is still dating and, according to rumors, plans to get engaged soon.
