Ariana Grande is laughing along after eagle-eyed fans spotted what appears to be a Photoshop misfire in a recent Vogue Japan image — one that briefly gave the pop star an extra finger.
The image, circulated by fan account @ourpinkwitchh, shows Grande dressed in a cream floral Dior mini skirt and matching top, her left hand raised delicately in a sheer white glove. In a close-up crop, the outline of a second pinky appears to linger, faint but noticeable, just enough to spark speculation.
“Who’s responsible for giving Ariana six fingers,” the account asked. Grande responded simply: “holy s–t.”
She followed up with a second comment, leaning into the joke. “Oh my goodness how exciting! I’ve been saying I need some extra appendages so that I can start an album. Thankful for this.” Fans quickly joined in, riffing on the moment with jokes about hidden talents and AI-generated pop stars.
Not everyone even noticed the glitch. Several commenters admitted the supposed extra finger only became visible after it was pointed out, while others insisted the image had already been saved as their wallpaper before the revelation.
It’s unclear which version of the image triggered the reaction. Nearly identical photos from Vogue Japan’s latest spread do not show the anomaly, suggesting the issue may lie with a single edit rather than the shoot as a whole. The spread itself leans heavily into retro styling, with Grande cycling through a series of high-fashion looks that nod to old Hollywood restraint rather than pop maximalism.
The moment arrives as Grande continues a careful repositioning of her public image. Earlier this month, the 32-year-old received a Rising Star Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival — a title she joked felt ironic given how long she’s been in the public eye.
“I’ve been performing since I was a child,” she said onstage. “So I never thought at 31 I’d be hearing the words ‘rising star’ again.” She then added, deadpan, that she wanted to thank “my two friends: Botox and Juvederm.”
In an era of hyper-controlled celebrity branding, the brief appearance of an extra finger — and Grande’s willingness to joke about it — felt oddly human. Even Vogue, it seems, occasionally slips.
