Last night (Nov. 17), Lincoln Center in New York City felt less like Manhattan and more like the gates of Oz. The Wicked: For Good premiere arrived, and it came dressed to impress. Check out a gallery of celebrities who came out in full Emerald City elegance, turning the David Geffen Hall red carpet into a fantasy runway.
Leading Ladies Ariana & Cynthia Took the Spotlight.
Ariana Grande channeled her Glinda energy in a soft pink custom Schiaparelli gown. Big tulle, big casting call, and even bigger moment. Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo as our unstoppable Elphaba was a vision in a custom Pierpaolo Piccioli Balenciaga look. People reported that it was a dramatic black gown with leathered claws of feathered detail, a sweeping train, and those iconic oversized butterfly mask sunglasses. She even brought out the diamonds to complete the look.
Health hiccup? Not Slowing Her Down.
Reports by Parade confirmed that Cynthia had actually lost her voice earlier in the day, but she showed up anyway, skipping interviews but not skipping the glam.
Star-studded Squad on the Yellow Brick Road.
The red carpet was a who’s who of iconic names. Colman Domingo rocked a lion-inspired Dolce & Gabbana ensemble that paid homage to his Cowardly Lion role. Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang, Ethan Slater and Marissa Bode were all in attendance, and they all made it a major moment.
The VIP guests’ list made it even more star-studded. Yahoo reported that Bob the Drag Queen was there (of course), and big personalities like Nate Burleson, Gayle King, Mellody Hobson, and Daymond John were spotted front row, showing up in Emerald City chic.
According to Variety, Universal rolled out all the stops for this red carpet, channeling old-school movie glam and major showmanship. Guests were encouraged to adopt “Emerald City Elegance” as their dress code, and honey, they delivered.
Final Curtain Call, But Make It BIG.
This Wicked premiere was a full-blown celebration of Wicked’s epic conclusion. With the sequel hitting theaters Nov. 21, the energy was high, the glam was loud, and the Wicked magic was very much alive.
Stay tuned, because if the NYC premiere was this theatrical, wait until the film hits the big screen.
