Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Lead London 'Wicked: For Good' Premiere With Dark Couture Looks

Fan-driven clips alongside a broadcast special have lifted buzz ahead of the Nov. 21 release.

Overview

  • The co-stars made a joint arrival at Cineworld Leicester Square for the European premiere as the press tour moved from Paris to London.
  • They pivoted from their signature pink-and-green palettes, with Grande in a vintage 1952 black Gilbert Adrian ballgown and Erivo in a custom navy Prada gown featuring PVC accents.
  • WWD, Page Six and Marie Claire noted the significance of Grande’s archival Adrian choice, linking it to the costume designer behind The Wizard of Oz.
  • NBC’s Nov. 6 companion special, Wicked: One Wonderful Night, generated viral duet clips that drew praise for Grande’s fuller, more powerful vocals.
  • A widely viewed fan video reportedly showed a supporter arranging the return of Erivo’s previously lost hat, adding to the tour’s viral moments, and the film opens in theaters on Nov. 21.
