Ariana Grande has discovered nice success with Depraved this previous yr, which had an enormous opening weekend. The singer-actress has carried out loads of press for the Broadway-turned-movie musical, however hypothesis about her taking part in Audrey Hepburn has change into a well-liked subject. Grande’s response to her taking part in within the hypothetical biographical movie of a real Hollywood icon is prime tier.
Grande, alongside her Depraved household, has already gone viral on awards reveals’ carpets. Whereas at The Golden Globes, amidst glorious trend moments (hers included) and Zendaya’s engagement rumors, the actress/singer alum had a viral internet-roasting second about getting requested whether or not her grandma was alive. Extra importantly and lately although, whereas on the Nationwide Board of Evaluate Awards carpet, Entry Hollywood’s TikTok chatted with the younger star about her vintage-inspired Hepburn-esque robe. The Don’t Look Up actress shared that she’s at all times cherished that model and is closely influenced by Previous Hollywood starlets, saying:
I’ve at all times cherished Previous Hollywood glamour, like, Marylin and Audrey have at all times been my [my] references. I’ve at all times gravitated in the direction of ‘50s, ’60s silhouettes and retro classic and stuff, like even after I was 15. I can’t even consider a time it wasn’t like my imaginative and prescient board, but it surely’s been actually enjoyable to have extra locations to try this.
The 31-year-old has had loads of alternatives to carry that imaginative and prescient board to life with Depraved Press (and much more alternatives for Depraved Half 2, premiering on our 2025 film schedule). Every thing she’s worn so far, for my part, could be very a lot Hollywood glamour a la Monroe and Hepburn. And her notorious unmistakable ponytail can be extremely paying homage to mid-century types.
The Everlasting Sunshine artist then expands into how she and her stylist, Mimi Cuttrell, have been leaning all the way in which in on classic seems, excluding the present gown, which is customized Loewe. When the singer was requested about taking part in Audrey Hepburn in a future biopic, the response was unbelievable and true to Ariana Grande-form. She responded by saying this:
Oh my goodness why is everybody asking me this? You’re insane. You’re insane. You’re insane. You’re insane. You’re insane. I like you.
Whether or not the concept was planted someplace or it has been extremely serendipitous that the Thank U, Subsequent singer has emulated the magical Audrey Hepburn aura to the purpose everyone seems to be asking her about it, we might by no means know. I like her response, and truthfully, the response is even Previous Hollywood, to me. Not lengthy earlier than this story, the thought crossed my thoughts and I feel it is extra so how she carried herself via the Ozian press tour. The wardrobe simply confirms it for me, and seemingly, many others who’ve thought the identical factor; take a look at the complete change under:

As the concept circulates extra, I’m unsure anybody else may even measure near The Breakfast at Tiffany’s star. Particularly when Grande cannot solely discover and draw the similarities between the starkly totally different ‘Glicked’ motion pictures but additionally routinely cries at a basic Adam Sandler film, she’s completely contender materials. It’ll be attention-grabbing if this hypothesis good points extra traction because the yr goes on and if it’ll hyperlink up with the Hepburn biopic undertaking.
No matter what Ariana Grande believes about the potential for portraying Audrey Hepburn, it’s on the market. Her reactions whereas completely her, shouldn’t be taken to coronary heart–she could be an apt possibility for the Previous Hollywood biopic.
Depraved is taking part in in theaters now and is obtainable on VOD companies.
