Ariana Grande is not letting a glossy magazine mishap slide quietly.
The pop superstar and Wicked actress poked fun at Vogue Japan after a photoshopped image from a recent shoot appeared to show her with six fingers on one hand, sparking instant chatter across social media.
The moment unfolded after a fan Instagram account reposted images from Grande's Vogue Japan spread, showing the singer posing in a cream colored floral Dior mini skirt and matching top. In one close up shot, Grande raised her left hand while wearing a sheer white glove, revealing tattoos and what fans quickly claimed looked like an extra finger.
The account joked in the caption about who gave Ariana six fingers, and the singer herself jumped into the comments without hesitation.
"Holy s--t," Grande wrote, calling attention to the apparent editing fail.
She followed up with another comment, leaning into the joke even harder. "Oh my goodness how exciting," she added. "I've been saying I need some extra appendages so that I can start an album. Thankful for this."
Fans immediately flooded the comments section, laughing along with her response. Some teased that she had been hiding her secret all along,
She did not stop there. Leaning into the moment, the 32 year old added another playful comment, joking that she has been saying she needs extra appendages so she can start an album and that she is thankful for the unexpected upgrade.
Fans flooded the post with laughs and theories, with some teasing that she had been hiding a secret all along and others dubbing her "Ariana AI Grande." Several admitted they never noticed the detail until it was pointed out, proving once again how fast tiny details can spiral online.
The apparent error seems to have stemmed from a minor editing issue rather than any real wardrobe malfunction. Nearly identical images from the Vogue Japan spread do not show the extra finger, and the photo in question has since been corrected.
