Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Explain Why They Chose to Sing Live in ‘Wicked’ (Exclusive)
Ariana Grande‘s latest look is going to be popular.
After all, the Wicked star, who portrays Glinda in the film, attended the Los Angeles premiere at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in a pink and white Thom Browne dress, complete with matching gloves, a bow and sparkling crystal heels.
“I was inspired by the Wizard of Oz,” Grande told E! News‘ Justin Sylvester and Zuri Hall during a joint interview with Cynthia Erivo on Nov. 9. “And I wanted to nod to Shiz and Glinda at Shiz with the pink.”
Grande also shared that she wanted to wear a gingham pattern as a nod to Dorothy, while her crystal shoes are a nod to Shiz.
Meanwhile, Erivo, who portrays Elphaba, was glowing in a green Louis Vuitton look.
“I wanted to bring out the green,” Erivo said. “I hadn’t done it yet, so I figured this would be the best place for it.”
And while the “yes and?” singer’s latest fashion moment has proven to be more golden than the bricks that line Oz, she has pulled out all the stops when it comes to honoring her character. At the Jon M. Chu film’s Australia premiere, the 31-year-old mimicked a Glinda costume from the Wizard of Oz.
