Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo both walked the 2024 Oscars red carpet channeling their Wicked characters Sunday night (March 10).
The pair, presenters at this year’s awards ceremony and co-stars in the upcoming film adaptation of the musical Wicked — in which Grande portrays Glinda and Erivo portrays Elphaba — arrived in shades of pink and green, respectively.
Grande made a statement in custom Giambattista Valli Haute Couture, wearing a Glinda-inspired bubblegum pink, strapless gown with a ruched bodice and voluminous cape. Her hair was styled in an updo that balanced the look and let all eyes remain on her dress.
Erivo stunned in custom Louis Vuitton, wearing a deep green, leather gown with a V-neck and bold ruffles at her shoulders and down her back.
The first trailer for Wicked premiered on Feb. 11 during the Super Bowl, giving viewers a glimpse at Glinda and Elphaba’s first meeting. Grande gasps upon seeing Erivo, saying, “You’re green!”
Wicked hits movie theaters in two parts, with the first feature-length film premiering on Nov. 27, and the second scheduled for 2025.
Erivo took a moment to praise her co-star’s new album release on the Oscars red carpet.
“I’m so proud of her. The music is really, really beautiful,” the actress said of Grande’s Eternal Sunshine, in an interview with ET.
“I think she’s put so much hard work and heart and soul in it,” she added. “I’m so excited for how people are receiving it now.”
