There’s no place like Hollywood.

Ariana Grande joined her “Wicked” co-stars at the Los Angeles premiere of the highly anticipated movie on Saturday, where she subtly sparkled from head to toe.

The actress, who plays Glinda in the forthcoming film adaptation of the musical, perfectly followed the “Shiz University” theme of the red carpet in a custom Thom Browne look that nodded to Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz.”

She looked stunning in a strapless white duchess satin dress with a matching capelet, all covered in pink gingham crystals and silk thread embroidery — a nod to Dorothy’s iconic blue checked frock.

A representative from Thom Browne tells Page Six Style that the dazzling gown featured 600,000 three-cut beads and 50,000 pink crystals, and took 50 people more than 6,000 hours to finish.

Grande’s shoes, modeled after Dorothy’s original pair — which were silver rather than ruby in the 1900 book — were covered in 4,000 Swarovski crystals, the rep reveals.

“We wanted to nod to Glinda, of course, as well as Dorothy, with the original jeweled shoes from the L. Frank Baum books—which, in fact, were not ruby!” Grande, 31, told Vogue.

She also brought along her own Toto, carrying a wicker bag in the shape of the fashion brand’s iconic Hector dog, and tied her hair up in a bun tied with a matching bow. Gloves completed Grande’s look.

“Working with Thom Browne on this has been such a dream come true, as always,” the superstar, who has worn various custom looks from the designer multiple times in recent weeks, continued.

“My favorite part about this dress would probably be the asymmetry of the high-to-low skirt, which feels very Ozian to me. [And] the intricate beading of the gingham.”

This is not the “7 Rings” singer’s first time paying tribute to the beloved characters of yore at her own premieres; In Sydney, Australia, she channeled Billie Burke’s Good Witch from the 1939 film, looking ethereal in a poofy pink Vivienne Westwood gown and more than 100 carats of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds.

Naturally, she’s gone positively pink nearly everywhere from “SNL” to the 2024 Paris Olympics and beyond, while co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, has been going green with her getups.

On Saturday, Erivo chose a green latex Louis Vuitton cutout gown and fringed cape with a massive diamond-and-emerald Roberto Coin necklace.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Bailey (Fiyero) sported a silver sequined shirt, poppy pin and ruby loafers of his own to complete the trio’s synergy.
