Ariana Grande makes first public appearance after being ambushed by a fan on the Wicked 'yellow' carpet

Ariana Grande has made her first public appearance since the yellow carpet moment that left fans and co-stars alike shocked last week.

Grande, who portrays Glinda in the upcoming Wicked: For Good, was rushed by a fan while walking the 'yellow brick road' for the movie's Asia premiere in Singapore on Thursday.

The self-professed serial "stage-invader" was seen charging at Grande, before grabbing and jostling her as co-star Cynthia Erivo attempted to dislodge him.

While the singer and actress has not made any comment regarding the incident as yet, her latest look for the 16th Governors Awards in Hollywood spoke volumes.

The star did indeed shine, looking the picture of radiance in a decidedly Glinda-esque gown pulled from Christian Dior's 2007 Fall/Winter collection.

The voluminous frock featured a gathered, toga-like shoulder embellished in lashings of hand-crafted clustered beading – with a structural swirl besetting the skirt serving to further elevate the cascading ensemble.

An asymmetrical updo and pink diamante jewels were the finishing touches in what proved to be yet another home-run for stylist to the stars Law Roach.

If the incident last week had any lasting effect on Grande, it was not apparent.

The star appeared regal and composed – the very embodiment of her 'good witch' alter-ego – as she posed for photos at the 16th edition of the titular event.

This marks the first time Grande has taken to the carpet following the shocking incident, which resulted in the arrest of Australian perpetrator Johnson Wen.

Fans of the much-loved Wizard of Oz prequel musical have widely condemned Wen's actions, after which Grande appeared visibly shaken.

It sparked a wider conversation about the emerging danger of 'parasociality'; the one-sided, psychological relationship a person can form with a public figure or character they don't know personally.

Speaking on the incident, Grande's Wicked co-star Marissa Bode chastised Wen, asking "did you get your views? Did you get your likes?"

"Guess what you also did? You made somebody feel incredibly unsafe. [If] that goes over your head, you're a bad person," she stated.

This is just the latest in a slew of disruptions caused by Wen.

He's previously caused a ruckus after running onstage during The Weeknd's concert at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne.

Wen also crashed the FIFA Women's World Cup Final in Sydney, the ICC Cricket World Cup Final and Katy Perry's show at Qudos Bank arena – after which he vowed to put an end to his stage-crashing ways.

Grande is set to continue the Wicked press tour as planned alongside her fellow co-stars.
