Regarded as a pop icon and an influential figure in popular music, Grande is known for her four-octave vocal range, which extends into the whistle register. Her accolades include two Grammy Awards, a Brit Award, two Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, 39 Guinness World Records, and ten MTV Video Music Awards. She has been listed amongst history's greatest artists and vocalists by publications such as Rolling Stone and Billboard. Grande has sold over 90 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

She began her career as a teenage actress by appearing in the Broadway musical 13 (2008), and rose to fame as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series Victorious (2010–2013) and its spin-off series Sam & Cat (2013–2014). Grande signed with Republic Records and released her retro-pop and R&B-influenced debut studio album, Yours Truly (2013), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. She blended pop, R&B, and electronic on her second and third albums, My Everything (2014) and Dangerous Woman (2016), which contained the internationally successful singles "Problem", "Break Free", "Bang Bang", "One Last Time", "Into You" and "Side to Side".

Personal struggles influenced Grande's trap-infused albums Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019). The former won Grande her first Grammy award, while the latter garnered US number-one singles "Thank U, Next" and "7 Rings", and made her the first solo artist to occupy the top three spots of the Billboard Hot 100. She subsequently achieved the most number-one debuts in Hot 100 chart history with the title track of her sixth album, Positions (2020), as well as the collaborations "Stuck with U" and "Rain on Me". After a musical hiatus, Grande released her seventh album, Eternal Sunshine (2024), which yielded the US number-one singles "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)". She returned to film acting with the political satire Don't Look Up (2021) and received critical praise for her portrayal of Glinda in the fantasy musical Wicked (2024), earning her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Six of Grande's albums have reached number one on the US Billboard 200 while nine of her songs have topped the US Billboard Hot 100, obtaining the most number-one duets in the country. According to Forbes, she was the world's highest-paid female musician in 2020, and among the Forbes Celebrity 100 in 2019 and 2020, while Time included her on its Time 100 list of the world's most influential people in 2016 and 2019. Outside of music and acting, Grande has worked with many charitable organizations and advocates for animal rights, mental health, and gender, racial, and LGBT equality. Her business ventures include R.E.M. Beauty, a cosmetics brand launched in 2021, and a fragrance line that has earned over $1 billion in global retail sales. She has a large social media following, being the sixth-most-followed individual on Instagram.

Mark Savage of BBC News named Grande "one of pop's most intriguing and gifted singers" and complimented her "unrivalled vocal control".

Grande cited Audrey Hepburn as a major style influence in her early career; however, she later found emulating Hepburn's style "a little boring".{{cite news|url=https://graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/news/ariana-grande-look-back-things-wore-yesterday-cringe/|title=Ariana Grande: 'I Look Back At Things I Wore Yesterday And Cringe'|first=Louby|last=McLoughlin|work=Grazia|date=August 20, 2014|access-date=August 20, 2014|archive-date=May 7, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190507120435/https://graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/news/ariana-grande-look-back-things-wore-yesterday-cringe/|url-status=live}} She also drew inspiration from actresses of the 1950s and 1960s, such as Ann-Margret, Nancy Sinatra, and Marilyn Monroe. Grande's modest look early in her career was described as "age appropriate" in comparison to contemporary artists who grew up in the public eye. Jim Farber of New York's New York Daily News wrote in 2014 that Grande received less attention "for how little she wears or how graphically she moves than for how she sings."{{cite web|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/ariana-grande-owes-stardom-singing-sex-appeal-article-1.1902829| title=Ariana Grande owes her stardom to singing, not sex appeal| first=Jim| last=Farber|newspaper=New York Daily News|url-status=live|date=August 14, 2014| access-date=March 19, 2024| archive-date=October 5, 2014| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141005224931/http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/ariana-grande-owes-stardom-singing-sex-appeal-article-1.1902829}} That year, she abandoned her earlier style in favor of short skirts and crop tops with knee-high boots in live performances and red carpet events.{{cite web| url=http://style.mtv.com/2014/04/23/ariana-grande-nancy-sinatra| title=Ariana Grande Is Totally Having a Nancy Sinatra Moment| last=Morton| first=Caitlin| publisher=MTV| date=April 23, 2014| access-date=September 2, 2014| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903120634/http://style.mtv.com/2014/04/23/ariana-grande-nancy-sinatra/| archive-date=September 3, 2014}} She also began regularly wearing cat and bunny ears and, subsequently, oversized jackets and hoodies.{{cite magazine |last=Piwowarski |first=Allison |date=February 3, 2021 |title=What's Up With The Cat Ears? |url=https://www.bustle.com/articles/41944-whats-up-with-ariana-grandes-cat-ears-an-exploration-of-her-history-as-a-fan-of |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210207080834/https://www.bustle.com/articles/41944-whats-up-with-ariana-grandes-cat-ears-an-exploration-of-her-history-as-a-fan-of |archive-date=February 7, 2021 |access-date=February 3, 2021 |magazine=Bustle}}{{cite magazine |last=Jackson |first=Vannessa |date=February 3, 2021 |title=What Does Ariana Grande's Bunny Mask Mean |url=https://www.bustle.com/articles/148764-what-does-ariana-grandes-bunny-mask-mean-the-dangerous-woman-cover-art-is-mysterious |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201222082425/https://www.bustle.com/articles/148764-what-does-ariana-grandes-bunny-mask-mean-the-dangerous-woman-cover-art-is-mysterious |archive-date=December 22, 2020 |access-date=February 3, 2021 |magazine=Bustle}} Grande's style is often imitated by social media influencers and celebrities.{{cite magazine|last=Anfitos|first=Rania|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/celebrity-doppelgangers-tiktok-8550677/|title=These 8 Celebrity Doppelgangers on TikTok Will Have You Seeing Double|magazine=Billboard|date=February 2, 2020|access-date=April 1, 2021|archive-date=July 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210715173059/https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/news/8550677/celebrity-doppelgangers-tiktok|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.capitalfm.com/news/madison-beer-ariana-grande-copying-claims/|title=Madison Beer Asks People To Stop The 'Hurtful' Ariana Grande 'Copying' Claims|publisher=Capital FM|date=November 19, 2020|access-date=April 1, 2021|archive-date=June 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210612232815/https://www.capitalfm.com/news/madison-beer-ariana-grande-copying-claims/|url-status=live}} After years of dyeing her hair red for her role as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon, Grande wore extensions as her hair recovered from damage.{{cite web|last=Tanzer|first=Myles|url=http://www.thefader.com/2018/05/30/ariana-grande-cover-story|title=Ariana Grande|magazine=The Fader|date=May 30, 2018|access-date=May 31, 2018|archive-date=January 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200129023634/http://www.thefader.com/2018/05/30/ariana-grande-cover-story|url-status=live}} Anne T.
