Ariana Grande Sleek Updo Hairstyle

Added: 01 Dec 2025
Ariana Grande looked simply magnificent at the Wicked For Good premiere with her formal, updo that is going to become a trend in no time! This style is fairly easy for you to recreate at home which is always an added bonus in our eyes. Keeping your short, side‑swept bangs out of a sleek back‑updo is a game‑changer: the bangs stay crisp and polished, framing your face and adding a pop of softness that balances the sharp lines of the updo, while the rest of your hair stays immaculate and tension‑free, so you avoid any stray strands or unwanted bulk that can flatten the silhouette. By tucking the bangs aside, you preserve the clean, elongated look of the back‑updo, making it perfect for formal events or long days when you need a hairstyle that stays put without constant tweaking. This approach also gives you the flexibility to switch the bangs back in for a different vibe later, letting you enjoy the best of both worlds - structured elegance and a playful, face‑framing accent - without sacrificing style or comfort. The sleek look also added to the formal vibe of this style and ensures your hair stays put of our face. Overall, Ariana's sleek hairstyle is ideal for those with an oval, square, oblong, heart, and diamond face shape. The trick to this style is to ensure that the short bangs are cut to suit your specific face shape. Glasses will also suit this open hairstyle.

When it comes to planning your makeup application for this style, you want to keep your lines clean like a gorgeous wing liner with false lashes will suit this hairstyle perfectly. Do not forget to add some blush to your cheekbones for some added color and finish off with a lipstick color that not only suits your skin tone but will also draw attention to your lips and balance the overall attention of this hairstyle. You are now red carpet ready!
