The singer debuted her fresh hairstyle in late October.
Ariana Grande is giving fans another look at her new hairstyle.
The 33-year-old pop superstar and actress took to social media on Monday (Nov. 2) to share a series of photos featuring PDA-filled moments with boyfriend Ricky Alvarez, along with another glimpse of her fresh bob hairstyle.
The Instagram gallery opens with a photo of Grande embracing Alvarez and gazing into his eyes amid lush greenery. Another sweet snapshot shows the singer kissing her partner on the forehead.
She captioned the gallery with a simple white heart emoji followed by three exclamation marks.
Grande also offered another look at her new bob, which she first debuted in late October. One image shows a side view of the cut, featuring a playful swoop that falls just above her shoulders, while another captures a sideways selfie showcasing the sleek style, accessorized with a white ribbon choker.
The singer also shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of hairstylist Brandon Pietsch appearing to wash her hair.
“The bob is everything mommy,” actress Rachel Zegler wrote in the comments. The singer’s brother Frankie Grande added, “Cute happy girlie pop! I love you so!”
Grande also shared a photo of herself holding Enthousiasmos , a culture magazine whose third issue features her Wicked co-star Jeff Goldblum. The pair became friends while filming the movies, and later collaborated on Goldblum’s 2025 album, Still Blooming .
Goldblum also joined the conversation in the comments, responding with a series of revolving heart emojis.
Grande’s Instagram post follows her appearance with Alvarez at the New York City Marathon on Sunday (Nov. 1), where the couple cheered on runners. Influencer Ella Schweiger approached the pair with a request to write an encouraging note for a stranger who had completed the 26.2-mile race, according to TMZ . Grande obliged, writing “You did it!” alongside a few hearts and signing the message, “Ari + Ricky.”
Schweiger later shared video of the encounter on Instagram, including the moment she delivered the note to a runner, who was thrilled to discover it came from the pop star.
Grande is currently preparing for the release of her upcoming film Focker-in-Law , which opens in theaters on Nov. 25.
The singer-songwriter announced in early August that she was taking “a step back” from public engagements amid “ongoing public scrutiny.” As part of that decision, she dropped out of the planned West End revival of Sunday in the Park With George , in which she was set to co-star.
Grande’s eighth studio album, petal , debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in July. In early September, she surprise-released petal (The Complete Live Album) , a live album featuring performances of all the tracks from the studio album.
