Ariana Grandeis keeping the bend and snap alive.
In an Instagram Reel posted Wednesday to r.e.m. beauty’s account, the singer reenacts an iconic moment from the beloved 2001 filmLegally Blonde.
The newly shared Reel starts with a bare-faced Ariana holding an r.e.m. beauty product above her head before she drops it out of the frame, bends to pick it up, and then pops back up to reveal a fully painted face.
Once the r.e.m. beauty transformation is complete, Grande laughs and continues to play around with the character she is imitating — posing and smoldering as both Elle Woods and Paulette Bonafonté would undoubtedly do.
The limited edition offering includes throwback pink eyeshadow shades in their new midnight shadows palette (perfect for a bend and snap recreation of your own), the brand’s best-selling 48-hour eyeliner marker in bold black, a 50 percent bigger jumbo utmost importance plumping lip gloss, and some brand new glittery lashes.
All the products can bepurchased in a bundle together for $39on the r.e.m beauty website or in Ulta Beauty stores on Jan. 22.
The reenactment of the fan-favorite scene made sense for Grande as she not only referenced the film in her music video but also has had a deep respect for Jennifer Coolidge for quite some time. A feeling of respect that goes both ways.
Coolidge told Grande in a chat forEntertainment Weekly’s Entertainers of the Year issue, “I think if you hadn’t put me in ‘thank u, next,’ and done that imitation, I don’t think I would be here where I am.”
“Yes, I got to doWhite Lotus, but I think it really started with you asking me to be in the ‘Thank U, Next’ video,” she continued, “I was kind of flatlining, and you got things going for me.”
