Ariana Grande has sparked more speculation about her potential interest in playing Audrey Hepburn after making outfit choices that echoed the iconic Hollywood star, especially at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. Her pink structured gown and bangs with a ponytail at the National Board of Review Annual Awards Gala on January 7, 2025, were compared to Hepburn’s classic style by a reporter from Entertainment Tonight.
Grande confirmed her love for 1950s and 1960s glamour, naming Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe as her style inspirations. “I love the 50s and 60s glamour; that’s just kind of my favorite—Marilyn, Audrey; it’s just my favorite,” she said.
When asked about the possibility of playing the Breakfast at Tiffany’s icon in a biopic, Grande expressed surprise but noted that such a project would need to be executed “so well and so perfectly.” She graciously thanked the reporter for the comparison, but emphasized the importance of getting it right if the role were ever to happen.
Despite the ongoing rumors about a potential Audrey Hepburn biopic, there has been no official news about the film’s development. The project was initially announced with Rooney Mara in the lead role, directed by Luca Guadagnino, but it was recently reported that Guadagnino is no longer attached to the project.
Grande is set to return to her role as Glinda in Wicked: For Good, which is scheduled for release on November 21, 2025, continuing her work in major Hollywood productions.
