Ariana Grande’s 34+35 Video Serves Us an Army of Fashion Cyborgs

Ariana Grande’s music videos are always about a dramatic fashion transformation. Her last video for Positions was a fashionable ode to women in politics, and in the past, she’s also turned into Mean Girls’s Regina George, or dressed like Lady Gaga, dripping in latex. This week, however, the singer is back with a brand new music video for her song 34+35, released today—and her new style metamorphosis sees her turn into various cyborgs. But she’s not any ol’ robot. She’s a chic robot.

The new video sees Grande play the part of a scientist in a high-tech lab (complete with a white lab coat and sky-high white platforms to match, of course). She’s faced with an array of Grande cyborgs, wearing a different look. One is in a vintage nude Oscar de la Renta bodysuit with below-the-knee Fendi boots to match; another is a classic silver robot, only Grande’s armor has a built-in metal bustier and skirt. 

The pièce de résistance, however, is at the end of the video, when the singer transforms into an Austin Powers-inspired Fembot. You know the one—the deadly robot with an alluring marabou-trimmed slip dress, which seduces men into submission. Her Fembot fit was true to the original film, complete with lilac gloves and even platform heels to match—don’t forget the bouffant hair, either!
