All of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s ‘Wicked’ Red Carpet Looks, Inspired by Glinda and Elphaba

Pink goes well with green.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will captivate fans on the big screen when “Wicked” officially hits theaters on Nov. 22, but the couple has fully embraced their larger-than-life characters through fashion since shortly after their casting was announced.

Starting with chic pink and green glitter T-shirts during the 2024 Super Bowl in February, Grande, 31, and Erivo, 37, have spent months expertly embodying Glinda and Elphaba in their signature colors and styles.

And with the second part of the “Wizard of Oz”-inspired film adaptation of the Broadway musical set before 2025, fans have a lot more to look forward to in the coming year. Check out all of Grande and Erivo’s gorgeous witchy red carpet looks so far below.

Grande and Erivo kicked off the film’s unofficial press tour at the Super Bowl in February, where they attended the big game sparkling custom Louis Vuitton T-shirt dresses inspired by football shirts.

Along with “LV” – a nod to both the fashion house and the Super Bowl location – the looks were adorned with the number 27, a nod to the film’s original November 27 release date. (It has since been moved to November 22.)

While “Wicked” is expected to be nominated in multiple categories at the 2025 Oscars, Ariana and Cynthia took the stage this year to present the award for best original score, decked out in their Glinda and Elphaba-inspired best.

Grande chose one voluminous Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress with a life-size cape and bubblegum pink morganite jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

Erivo, meanwhile, wore a dark green leather Louis Vuitton dress with ruffles that certainly left some people confused, including “The View” host Ana Navarro. The political commentator compared Erivo’s appearance to an “iguana” and called Grande’s “a tribute to cotton candy.”

April’s CinemaCon was the first time Grande and Erivo really showed their character.

Big one blossomed in a 3D floral mini dress by Oscar de la Rentawhich appeared to be an homage to the iconic poppy field from ‘The Wizard of Oz.’

Erivo opted for an off-the-shoulder green Versace corset and matching knee-high boots, styled with a silver sparkly mini skirt.

The pair headed to the Paris 2024 Olympics in style, posing under the Eiffel Tower at the opening ceremony.

Erivo looked sharp in an emerald green strapless Louis Vuitton dress paired with a flat hat. “When finding references, we were inspired by Dominique Deveraux from Dynasty,” she says told Vogue of the structured look. “Her sharpness, her refinement, her elegant Parisian style. It was also wonderful to use the reference of a beautiful, strong black woman.”

Grande looked stunning in a custom Thom Browne look with a bow, the first of many to come from the pop star.

November brought the first official premiere of the highly anticipated film.

Paying tribute to Billie Burke’s original portrayal of the Good Witch in the 1939 film, Grande wore a perfect pink Vivienne Westwood dress with embellishments in the shape of her sparkling wand. She completed the look a beautiful diamond butterfly shaped necklace which jeweler Lorraine Schwartz told us clocked in at over 100 carats.

Erivo went for a green manicure, a black strapless Louis Vuitton dress with a dramatically structured skirt and her own oversized Roberto Coin diamond necklace.

The duo also attended a photocall while in Sydney, with Grande in a bow-trimmed tube top and skirt by Thom Browne and Erivo in a Marc Jacobs peplum dress, platform boots and a fascinator.

Premiere in Los Angeles

On November 9, the pair brought their film to the United States, on the Yellow Brick Road in the City of Angels.

Erivo looked stunning in a green latex cut-out dress and fringed cape jacket from Louis Vuitton, while Grande put her own spin on Dorothy’s sparkly slippers.

The petite singer modeled a pair of silver heels covered in 4,000 Swarovski crystals, which perfectly matched her pink Thom Browne gingham dress, adorned with 600,000 beads and 5,000 crystals.

Mexico premiere

Erivo fully embraced her inner witch for the Mexico City premiere on Nov. 11, walking the red carpet in a creepy custom Thom Browne gown featuring two clawed hands (and complete with an emerald manicure, according to a press release ).

Grande looked ethereal in an iridescent Atelier Versace corset dress that seemed to change color in the light, flashing shades of white, blue and pink — just like the bubble her character travels in.
