Grande’s Vintage ‘Wicked: For Good’ Push Honors Oz Legacy as Cast Details Emotional Filming

Archival gowns from specialist boutiques frame the final press tour ahead of the Nov. 21 theatrical release.

Overview

  • On Nov. 10 in London, Ariana Grande wore a 1952 Gilbert Adrian one-shoulder ballgown sourced by Rita Watnick for Lily et Cie, nodding to The Wizard of Oz costume lineage.
  • She later changed into a 1950s black tulle gown described in reports as from Amarcord Vintage Fashion, pairing both looks with Christian Louboutin Cassia lace-up pumps, including the platform Alta style.
  • Grande said she and stylist Law Roach “cried many times” during the Adrian fitting and described a darker, more mature wardrobe direction for this chapter of Glinda.
  • In fresh interviews, Grande and Cynthia Erivo called filming their ‘For Good’ duet “painful,” noting the emotions lingered after shooting.
  • Exhibition plans are expanding with a 33-hour continuous run at Phoenix Theatres Great Northern and a newly released image featuring Grande, Erivo and Jeff Goldblum, as the film remains set for Nov. 21.
