Ariana Grande is going to be part of Fortnite's Rift Tour next week, and she shares some sneak peaks at her avatar's outfit for the show.

Fortnite is no stranger to big name artists participating in its in-game concerts. Fortnite has held concerts for Travis Scott, Deadmau5, DJ Marshmello, and more. The Rift Tour coming on August 6th has musical star Ariana Grande on the books, and she is getting her own personal skin in the game.

Fortnite's Rift Tour was announced on the 29th of August, giving players the opportunity to earn in-game items and XP by completing challenges associated with the concert. This three-day musical event will begin August 6th and continue until the 8th, taking place entirely in-game. Players will be able to not only watch the artists perform in-game, but also get prizes and an Ariana Grande skin for themselves. But it looks like only one user will get the glittering, diamond Ariana Grande skin: the artist herself.

In an Instagram post today, Ariana Grande posted a sneak peek at her Fortnite outfit for the concert, which is a unique skin that features the musician's signature high ponytail. Grande's post included a short video of the in-game look, and everything from her eyes to the heels of her sparkling boots are shining bright. The entire outfit looks as though it were carved from massive diamonds, reflecting all the colors of the rainbow.

There is also a second Grande-exclusive skin, and it features the artist with a white and purple high ponytail and a glittering, sequined skirt and tank top combo. The video for this outfit includes an adorable dancing piggy back bling backpack that grooves along to the music, which is a nice touch.

While players will have the chance to get Ariana's light and dark skins in the game, it looks like only the singer will ever get to wear the jeweled versions. Ariana's two skins, a pink outfit and a purple outfit, will both be available in the Fortnite eshop for VBucks starting August 4th, 2021. Although prices aren't listed yet for the items, it looks like these will be part of the Icon series. The Icon skins have traditionally been priced as follows:

  • 1500 VBucks for the skin.
  • 2800 VBucks for the skin and accessories.

Most likely, the Ariana Grande skins will only be available for a very limited time and will never appear in the Fortnite shop again. As such, if players want the look, they'll have to get it while the concert is live, or they may miss out on it forever. Fortnite players should save the date for the concert series if they have any interest in the performance or cosmetics.

Fortnite is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
