Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Were Hilariously Mismatched While Out To Dinner With Her Dad

First it was Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé, then Mr. and Mrs. Bieber. Now, Ariana Grande and her beau Ethan Slater are showing just how different standards can be when it comes to how men and women dress up (or down) for a night out.

The pair—who met while filming the upcoming Wicked movies while Slater was still married—recently grabbed dinner with the pop star's dad and another friend, and they didn't exactly get the same memo re: dress code. Grande looked every inch the fashion girlie in a little black dress, sheer tights, black pumps, diamond earrings, and a fuzzy bucket hat, while carrying a satin Chanel handbag. The fur cuffs on the sleeves of her cardigan match her hat; someone put effort into this look!

Slater, who is currently starring in the Broadway revival of Spamalot, also wore head-to-toe black…but his look is more athleisure than aspirational: a North Face zip-up fleece jacket, plus Nike workout pants and sneakers. You can see the photos on Page Six, which reports that the group dined at an Italian restaurant before catching Slater on stage.

Online, comments ranged from praise for Grande and excitement about her upcoming new album to…well, some pretty mean insults directed at Slater. But at least a few people, very fairly, pointed out that they simply do not look dressed for the same event.

“She looks so good and how nice of her to bring an extra body guard with her,” one fan wrote on X.com, while another tweeted, “She's everything and he's just there.”

Another fan compared the photos to another infamous celeb style moment, writing, “Is giving Hailey and Justin.”

Meanwhile on Instagram, Ariana Grande seemed to oh-so-subtly acknowledge the relationship in a recent picture dump. The seventh slide in this post is of a green Christmas garland with a few bulb-shaped ornaments and one very centrally placed special bauble: a Spam ornament. Yes, Spam is an official partner of Spamalot on Broadway. There is no such thing as a coincidence!

Grande has seen the show a number of times. After she attended the premiere, a source revealed, “She was so sweet last night, taking pictures with fans and gushing about how much she was enjoying the performances. She’s a theater kid at her core, so you see she really feels at peace being around Broadway.” So at peace.
