In the world of iconic hair, there are some legends. Farrah Fawcett and her feathered hair and Audrey Hepburn and her baby bangs will probably never leave the cultural imagination, but there's a modern hair icon in Ariana Grande's ponytail. The legendary hairstyle has been with the singer and actor basically since her career began, and while she has occasionally gone without the style, it's pretty much synonymous with her now. Would she ever ditch it for good? If you've been waiting for that moment to come, you may not want to hold your breath. In an interview with The Fader, Grande discussed her signature look, and the pony isn't going anywhere soon. In fact, Grande seems pretty attached to her iconic hairstyle and appears to associate it with her career as a whole. She explains that just like herself and her music, the ponytail has undergone a transformation, and for her it's different now that it was at the beginning of her career. In the interview she explains, "The pony has also gone through an evolution, and I’m proud of that. Old pony? I don’t know if she’s that girl. But new pony? I like her. I mean, it’s like a Victoria Secret angel without angel wings. It’s still her without them, but when she’s with them it’s like, Ohh, I get it, she’s an angel.” Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Grande doesn't expound on what the transformation is to her, but it's not hard to see it once you start looking at the artist through the years of her career. Currently, her ponytail is a platinum blonde hue (though just as long as ever). She's worn the same style to perform at the Billboard Music Awards and on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where she had an entire night dedicated to her. Despite being Fallon's only guest (a rare occurrence on his show), Grande still chose to wear the signature style with a braid down the center for a little extra oomph. In an even more obvious show of dedication to her ponytail, Grande chose one of fashion's biggest nights to continue sporting the style. During this year's "Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" themed Met Gala, Grande stunning wearing a voluminous ball gown featuring the "Last Judgement" scene from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel created by iconic designer Vera Wang. While she may have been at the Met, it didn't mean Grande had to change up her ponytail style. Yet again she rocked her platinum blonde pony, but this time she added a gorgeous flowing ribbon to the look, and honestly, it was perfect. Neilson Barnard/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images While Grande may almost always rock the ponytail, it doesn't mean she doesn't switch up the look. Her hair color is perhaps one of the biggest switches she makes to the style. She's had a grey style, purple, brunette, and of course, the red hue that she began her career with. Each one has looked flawless on the "No Tears Left To Cry" singer, but it's not her only adjustment.

It's a look she wore at the March For Our Lives rally where she performed.

Whether you love or hate Ariana Grande's ponytail, one this is certain. It's a signature piece of who she is as an artist, and she's keeping the look — at least for now.<doc-sep>The singer was fresh faced on the cover of Vogue (Picture: Vogue/Craig McDean) Ariana Grande ditches the ponytail and lets her hair down in unrecognisable photoshoot New hair, who dis? Ariana Grande held front and centre on the cover of the latest British Vogue and we had to do a double take. It looks nothing like her! We’re used to a high-ponytailed Ariana, brunette, with a cat eye and multiple false lashes. However, on the cover of this fashion bible the No More Tears Left To Cry singer was ethereal in all her pared-back splendour. This…this is amazing (Picture: Vogue/Craig McDean) The singer – who has just started dating SNL star Pete Davidson – spoke about her anxiety as she said: ‘I think a lot of people have anxiety, especially right now. ‘My anxiety has anxiety. No. I’ve always had anxiety. I’ve never really spoken about it because I thought everyone had it, but when I got home from tour it was the most severe I think it’s ever been.’ However, her interview got emotional, as she spoke about the Manchester bombing attack that saw 22 people killed as she performed at Manchester Arena in April last year. The singer, 24, revealed she doesn’t think she’ll ever be able to speak about the tragedy without crying, while also telling the publication she is dealing with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, as she added she ‘checks in’ with Millie Robson, who was left with shrapnel in her legs following the attack. The singer looks amazing in a black and white shot (Picture: Vogue/Craig McDean) She said. ‘It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss. But, yeah, it’s a real thing. ‘I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well. Time is the biggest thing. I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience – like I shouldn’t even say anything. ‘I don’t think I’ll ever know how to talk about it and not cry.’ See the full feature in the July issue of Vogue, available on digital download now or on newsstands Friday 8th June.

Everyone's freaking out about the singer's nearly unrecognizable new look Who’s that girl? Ariana Grande completely changed up her look for a new fashion shoot — and for the first time in a long time we’re seeing the star without her now-famous sky-high ponytail. (Cue the Internet freakout! ) Wearing barely any makeup, the “No Tears Left to Cry” singer is nearly unrecognizable on the cover of Vogue UK’s July issue as she wears her blonde — yes blonde! — hair down and shows off her freckles. Grande, who has gone lighter in the past with a bright white-platinum hue, trades her brown hue for a brand new golden-blonde shade that’s different from anything she’s tried before. The singer, who has also been making headlines for her PDA-filled relationship with SNL‘s dating Pete Davidson, shared photos from the new shoot, which hits stands on June 8th, on Instagram, writing “Thank you @britishvogue ♡ I don’t even know where to begin to express my love and gratitude @edwardenninful.” Aside from her new blonde hair, there’s one major detail that stands out in the photos: her freckles. Along with her go-to black cat eye and a nude lip, the star almost always has a layer of makeup covering the freckles on her nose and under her eyes. But this time around, she seems to have foregone cover-up and eye liner altogether, instead showing off her glowing, rosy cheeks and a pale pink natural-looking lip shade.
