Ariana Grande would have fit right in at sleep-away camp in the big wacky coat she was wearing on Tuesday, Dec. 3. For an appearance in New York City, theWicked star took a break from her Glinda-inspired pastel press tour method dressing to wrap herself in an enormous black sleeping bag coat from Norma Kamali.
On Grande's petite frame, the floor-length jacket looked even more plush and billowing than usual. Think of the sleeping bag coat as the best puffer jacket's theatrical, attention-seeking older sister. Given how chilly it's become lately, though, the style felt completely appropriate for the season.
Ariana Grande sports a black Norma Kamali sleeping bag coat in New York City.
The sleeping bag coat trend originates with Kamali, who first introduced the style in early '70s after going on a fateful camping trip.
"I was camping, it was cold, and I had to pee in the woods basically," the designer once recalled in a podcast interview with Cherry Bombe's Kerry Diamond. "And so, I took my sleeping bag and it was so warm and it was a September night, and I thought, 'I'm going home and I'm going to cut up this sleeping bag and make a coat out of it,' and I did. And I didn't waste one piece of the sleeping bag. I used every part of it."
Ariana Grande pairs her sleeping bag coat with a diamond choker, black Gucci sunglasses, and black satin balletcore pumps.
The pop star accessorized her pillowy look with Christian Louboutin black satin balletcore pumps with ribbons that wrapped around her ankles, plus a dazzling diamond choker necklace and black Gucci sunglasses with gold logo hardware. Of course, no look would be complete for Grande's Glinda era without a French manicure and a long honey blonde blowout. In this instance, she pulled her hair back into a high ponytail.
It was a look perhaps better suited to her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo, who portrays the green-skinned witch Elphaba in the film. But let's be real: How can you not appreciate the sheer camp of a woman this small wearing a coat this big?
