Cynthia Erivo made a bold statement at the Mexico City premiere of Wicked on Monday, stepping out in a striking gown that featured extra hands. The star, who plays Elphaba in the upcoming fantasy film, attended the screening alongside co-stars Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey. The trio is currently on a world tour to promote the highly-anticipated movie, with each actor donning outfits inspired by their onscreen characters.
Erivo’s gown, designed to channel her witchy character, Elphaba, was a showstopper. The all-black dress featured an elaborate design with a structured waist and a dramatic coat-like addition that acted as a headpiece. Two extra hands extended from the shoulders, adding an avant-garde twist to her look. She completed the outfit with knee-high boots, rings on her fingers, and a septum ring, bringing even more edge to her theatrical ensemble.
Meanwhile, Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda, embraced her character’s signature style with a light pink gown. The dress featured a corset-like bodice and a ruffled skirt, creating a soft and ethereal contrast to Erivo’s darker, more dramatic look. The two stars posed together on the red carpet, joined by Jonathan Bailey, who took a more casual approach with a white vest, trousers with a purple waistband, and a blazer.
Earlier in the promotional tour, Erivo wore a striking green latex dress for the Wicked premiere in Los Angeles, again embodying her Elphaba character. The green gown, paired with pointed-toe heels and a diamond-encrusted choker featuring a large green gem, was another bold fashion statement in line with the character’s iconic look.
As the promotional tour continues, fans can expect more stunning outfits from the cast, each one reflecting the distinct personalities of their characters from the beloved Wicked story.
