Ariana Grande is fueling rumors of her interest in playing Audrey Hepburn after her recent outfit choices, especially at the 2025 Golden Globes that channeled the style of the iconic Hollywood star.
At this year’s National Board of Review Annual Awards Gala on January 7, Grande chatted with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet. The reporter noted her pink structured dress and ponytail with bangs, which was similar to how Hepburn wore it classically.
Grande admitted she loves the glamor of the 1950s and 1960s and named favorites in the form of Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. The Thank You, Next singer said: “I love ’50s and ’60s glamour; that’s just my favorite – Marilyn, Audrey; that’s just my favourite.”
When asked about playing the Breakfast at Tiffany’s icon, Grande seemed surprised, but she made it clear that such a project would have to be done right. She also kindly thanked the reporter for the positive comparison.
Grande said of the biopic: “It has to be done so well and so perfectly.”
Meanwhile, there is no new concrete news about the planned Audrey Hepburn biopic, although rumors persist. According to Deadline, the potential film was previously announced with actress Rooney Mara under director Luca Guadagnino. However, Mara has announced that Guadagnino is no longer on board.
Ariana Grande will return to her role as Glinda in Wicked: For Good, scheduled for release on November 21, 2025.
