Normally a bang trim wouldn’t cause widespread whispers, but there are reports Grande is interested in appearing in a possible Hepburn biopic, leaving people wondering whether her new do was an easter egg for an upcoming role she’s either already been cast in or desparately wants to get.

Ariana Grande has found great success with Wicked this past year, which had a huge opening weekend. The singer-actress has done plenty of press for the Broadway-turned-movie musical, but speculation about her playing Audrey Hepburn has become a popular topic.

While Grande embraced the wide-eyed ingenue archetype during the Wicked press tour, her references to Hepburn have become much more overt. Perhaps the most obvious indicator has been her above-the-eyebrow bangs—one of Hepburn’s beauty signatures. But, as of late, she has also been paying homage with her fashion.

The “Wicked” star paid homage to the yellow brick road as she channeled the late actress in a vintage Givenchy gown from 1966.

While Grande joked that the rumor was "insane," she also said she was flattered to be discussed as a potential Hepburn casting choice
