Ariana Grande exuded old Hollywood glamour by channelling Marilyn Monroe at the Golden Globes First-Time Nominee Celebration in Beverly Hills.

This style was made popular by 1950s actress Marilyn Monroe – the epitome of Golden Age Hollywood glamour.

Perhaps a nod to her flourishing acting career, Grande channelled the iconic film star to celebrate her first-ever Golden Globe nomination for her role as Glinda in Wicked.

Wicked has made an estimated $372 million worldwide since arriving in theatres in late November, and has sparked excitement for the second instalment coming to cinemas in November 2025.

Grande wasn’t the only star sporting vintage, Pamela Anderson, 57, wore a vintage 1960s silk A Line dress from the LA-based boutique, The Kit Vintage.

The Baywatch star was celebrating her nomination for her role in Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl. Anderson paired the vintage gown with her classic no make-up glam, black sheer tights and pointed court heels.

This luxury vintage boutique has become the go-to for celebrity red carpets.

The Kit Vintage also dressed Angelina Jolie at the 2024 Governor’s Awards in November. The Maleficent star wore a no label vintage shimmering gold gown as she walked the red carpet with her son, Knox Jolie-Pitt.
