Ariana Grande Performs in Candy-Pop Couture at Macy’s Summer Blowout

Before the ponytail became legend, Ariana Grande hit Macy’s Summer Blowout in a sequined pink top and floral skirt—half ingénue, half pop rocket.

It was July 17, 2011—still early days for Ariana Grande, long before the high ponytail became a cultural monolith and the vocal runs turned stadiums into echo chambers. At Macy’s Annual Summer Blowout, she stepped onto the stage in a look that felt like bubblegum with bite.

The outfit? A strapless pink sequined top, glinting under stage lights like a disco ball dipped in strawberry syrup. Paired with a red floral-patterned skirt that flared just above the knee, it was part retro prom queen, part mall-pop rebellion. Beige tights and matching heels grounded the look, though barely—Grande floated more than she walked.
