Ariana Grande unrecognisable without her trademark ponytail

Is that Ariana Grande?

The perpetually ponytailed pop star, 24, covers the July issue of British Vogue — and with her hair worn long and loose, she’s nearly unrecognisable.

Grande’s go-to hair guru, Chris Appleton (who also styles Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez’s down-to-there extensions), prepped her strands for the photo, which was shot by Craig McDean.

Grande has famously worn her hair up since her transition from acting to music five years ago. In a 2014 Facebook post, she explained that years of bleaching and dyeing it red for her roles on the Nickelodeon series Victorious and Sam & Cat had left her hair terribly damaged, hence her reliance on the slicked-back style.

When Grande shared the cover art for her single No Tears Left To Cry in April, however, fans quickly pointed out that her signature ponytail was tied much lower than usual. Perhaps this is just the natural next step in the pint-size singer’s beauty evolution.
 

Meanwhile, things are heating up fast for Grande and new boyfriend Pete Davidson.

The Saturday Night Live comedian, 24, got two tattoos to showcase his growing love for the pop star.

According to tattoo artist London Reese, Davidson got a black bunny ear mask tattoo behind his left ear, reports the New York Pos t. He also got a second tattoo of Grande’s initials, “AG,” on his right thumb.
