“Earrings look great!” director Jon M. Chu also chimed in.Chu, 42, (who previously directedCrazy Rich AsiansandIn the Heights) announced in April thatthe Broadway musical will be adapted into two films rather than one.

While Grande, who is taking on the role ofGlindain the upcoming Universal film adaptation, didn’t specifically call out her new hair transformation in connection with her role as the famously blonde witch, she has been clear that the role is her top priority right now.

In May this year, she answered questions from fans, including one about the follow-up album to 2020’sPositions, which she hasn’t started working on yet.

Grande said she had put her heart and soul into preparing to audition, and after she got the role had dedicated herself to it.
