Singer and actor Ariana Grande paid homage to the original Wicked stage production by swapping her typical pink dresses for a lemon ballgown for the film’s London premiere.
The look was a tribute to the stage production where the character Glinda wears a butter yellow dress during the songs ‘One Short Day’ and ‘Defying Gravity’.
Erivo’s dress featured a tapered black velvet bodice with a black tulle skirt revealing a shimmering bronze sphere that illuminated her left leg. She accessorised the look with a Schiaparelli head piece and black velvet opera gloves, with make-up by Charlotte Tilbury.
The leading women were joined by an array of famous faces from the cast as they took to the red carpet at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
Part I of Wicked premieres in London in anticipation for the film’s Friday release, which will be followed by part II in November 2025.
Frankie and Joan Grande, Ariana’s half-brother and mother respectively, also donned the film’s classic colours in black and white ensembles with green accents.
