Ariana Grande Shines Bright For Swarovskiโ€™s Holiday 2024 Campaign

Australians are readying themselves for the Wicked global premiere happening this Sunday in Sydney, which means that Grammy-award winning singer and Swarovskiโ€™s Global Ambassador Ariana Grande will soon be gracing our shores (if sheโ€™s not yet arrived). However, today brings more Ariana-related news with the first look at this ultra-glamorous Holiday campaign for Swarovski, lensed the legendary duo Mert and Marucs.

Ariana camps it up as only she can in this โ€œParty of Dreamsโ€ shoot under Giovanna Engelbertโ€™s creative direction, as we see her arrive in style to what looks to be one seriously chic holiday party. She teams glittering pieces from the brandโ€™s iconic Swarovski Millenia and Matrix Crash collections back with a courture look, especially designed for her by Engelbert. The accompanying video (watch it here), directed by Christian Breslauer, is a fantasical romp that pay homage to the old world glamour that party season dressing brings.

Ariana said of working on the high-shine campaign, โ€œCelebrating at the Party of Dreams, surrounded by the coolest, most glamorous guests decked in Swarovski jewels, was an unforgettable experience. I love how the campaign captures the festive spirit, and the filmโ€™s dynamic music video style brings it all together. The energy on set was contagious โ€“ we had so much fun dancing that no one wanted to go home! Itโ€™s great to bring some joy and sparkle this Holiday Season, and Iโ€™m thrilled to continue this journey with Swarovski.โ€

The pictures are enough to get anyone excited about the lure of party season dressing, but especially so when you add Arianaโ€™s energy to the mix. The full Swarovski collection is available in-store and online.
