Singer and actor Ariana Grande paid homage to the original Wicked stage production by swapping her typical pink dresses for a lemon ballgown for the film’s London premiere.
The 31-year-old star, who plays ‘the good witch’ styled the yellow gown swathed in ruched organza with a pair of John Lennon-style tinted glasses.
The look was a tribute to the stage production where the character Glinda wears a butter yellow dress during the songs ‘One Short Day’ and ‘Defying Gravity’.
Erivo however sported a classic dramatic black ensemble channelling her on-screen persona, Elphaba. The 37-year-old wore a black Schiaparelli autumn/winter 2024 couture gown styled by Jason Bolden.
Erivo’s dress featured a tapered black velvet bodice with a black tulle skirt revealing a shimmering bronze sphere that illuminated her left leg. She accessorised the look with a Schiaparelli head piece and black velvet opera gloves, with make-up by Charlotte Tilbury.
