The Wicked actress dazzled on the red carpet in a 59-year-old archival gown. Grande is 31, so the dress is almost twice her age.

"It's yellow because 'follow the yellow brick road'," Grande told Variety during the preshow.

"And it's one of Glinda's favourite colours."

The star added, "This is Givenchy 1966 archive. My stylist Mimi [Cuttrell] and I found it and we were so excited."

The regal gown was first shown in Hubert de Givenchy's Haute Couture S/S 1966 collection and was purchased from Rita Watnick's LILY et Cie.
