Cynthia Erivo’s Latest Wicked Dress Has A Wild Silhouette, But I’m Loving How It’s Seemingly A Nod To A Specific Scene We See In The Trailer

by

As a seasoned gamer with an extensive background in theater and musicals, I must admit that my heart skipped a beat when I heard about the impending film adaptation of Wicked. The latest buzz surrounding Awards Season has piqued my curiosity even further!

Musical films have previously won Best Picture awards, and the newest one in this genre, based on the popular musical “Wicked”, directed by Jon M. Chu, is already garnering attention for Awards Season. Instead of an unconventional musical, I’m referring to the movie adaptation, where Cynthia Erivo’s latest dress design for her role in “Wicked” boasts a striking silhouette that seems to be a subtle reference to a specific scene hinted at in the trailer.

The principal cast of “Wicked” features Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, and this dynamic duo has been dazzling with their creative fashion choices, inspired by the film. Their latest stylish ensemble was showcased at the London Premiere, with Erivo’s bold fashion choice seemingly drawing inspiration from a scene in the “Wicked” trailer, where Glinda adorns her ear with a pink flower to add a burst of color. Take a peek at her look below:

Look at these two dresses! The striking burst of pink in Erivo’s gown is truly captivating, and combined with the headpiece, it’s challenging not to be mesmerized by her. It seems like this could be a reference to a scene in “Popular”, where Glinda gives Elphaba a makeover, symbolized by the pink accessory in her hair and the exclamation of how well pink complements green.

Discussing the stage adaptation of “Wicked”, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s attire bore a striking resemblance to costumes seen on Broadway. During the number “One Short Day”, when the witches arrive at the Emerald City, Glinda is known for wearing a yellow gown while Elphaba dons her trademark black. Given that the London premiere of “Wicked” was adorned like the Emerald City, it gave an impression that they had been plucked straight from the stage.

For months, Grande and Erivo have tirelessly promoted the release of “Wicked,” consistently dazzling with their matching, stylish outfits. With the London premiere potentially being one of the last stops on this extensive press tour, they certainly didn’t want to disappoint their fans at this crucial stage.

Fortunately for film enthusiasts, the long-awaited debut of “Wicked” on the big screen is almost here! To ensure a richer character development and inclusion of all stage musical numbers, the story will be divided into two movies. Consequently, we can anticipate another grand press tour featuring stylish attire for Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo next year. While it’s unclear how the first movie will fare at the box office, the second one has already been filmed and is likely in the post-production phase.

The initial “Wicked” movie is set to premiere in theaters on November 22nd. In case you’re planning movie outings for the New Year, take a look at the scheduled release dates for films in 2025.
