The duo captivates audiences with their sophisticated fashion choices and a highly anticipated trailer for the sequel to ‘Wicked’.
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo captivated audiences at CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas on Wednesday, unveiling the highly anticipated trailer for the sequel to the beloved film “Wicked,” titled “Wicked: For Good.” The event showcased the duo’s on-screen chemistry as they took the stage to eager cheers from attendees.
Both Grande and Erivo have consistently embraced their characters’ signature aesthetic throughout their promotional appearances over the past year. Grande has often donned shades of pink to embody Glinda, the Good Witch, while Erivo has embraced green and black to reflect the character of Elphaba. However, at CinemaCon, Grande surprised attendees with a striking ensemble that deviates from her typically colorful wardrobe. She opted for a sophisticated black velvet strapless mini dress from Emporio Armani’s Fall 2025 collection. The dress featured a drop-waist corseted bodice and a voluminous ruffled skirt, echoing a more subtle interpretation of her character’s traditional look.
Grande’s monochrome attire was complemented by matching black velvet pumps, and she accessorized with pearl earrings and a necklace from her collaboration with Swarovski, priced at $330. In parallel, Erivo matched the aesthetic with an all-black semi-sheer hooded jumpsuit by Alaïa Spring 2025, showcasing her dramatic fashion sense with a striking ear chain.
The fashion pivot of the duo marked a significant contrast to their previous appearances, particularly during last year’s Comic-Con, where they fully embraced their characters’ vibrant styles. At that event, Grande turned heads in a strapless pink Oscar de la Renta minidress, reminiscent of a blooming flower, a nod to the iconic poppies from “The Wizard of Oz.” Meanwhile, Erivo had previously wowed the audience in a green Versace corset top paired with a sequined skirt and green satin over-the-knee boots.
While the trailer for “Wicked: For Good” remains exclusive to CinemaCon attendees, the fresh fashion choices by Grande and Erivo are generating buzz, signaling an evolution in their portrayal of these cherished characters as the film prepares for its release later this year. The coordinated yet contrasting look exhibited by the duo is being noted as a rare moment, reflecting the depth and diversity of character development anticipated in the upcoming sequel.
