Ariana Grande in Schiaparelli & More at Wicked: For Good NYC Premiere

Theatricality was the fashion memo for the “Wicked: For Good” premiere in New York City on Monday night, featuring designer looks worn by Oscar-nominated stars Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and more.

Pieces by Balenciaga, Schiaparelli, Givenchy and more featured on the red carpet, with method-dressing approaches and ornate design. WWD breaks down those looks and more ahead.

Cynthia Erivo

Cynthia Erivo channeled the dark side of her character, Elphaba, in a theatrical black gown from Balenciaga. The dress featured a drop waist silhouette with a voluminous skirt. The bodice was fitted, with fabric contrast from a soft tone to a glossy sheen. Twirling feather motifs featured along the bustline, while the long sleeves included a glove element to frame the Oscar-nominated actress’ nails.

Makeup for Erivo’s look was provided by Joanna Simkin, with nail tech by Shea Osei. The actress’ look was curated by stylist Jason Bolden.

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande turned to a design by Schiaparelli’s creative director, Daniel Roseberry. The custom haute couture dress featured a ballgown silhouette with a black ruched crepe and satin bustier, which laced up the back. The bodice also included delicate side bows and the Italian fashion house’s signature keyhole embroidery at the bustier. The voluminous skirt was crafted with 200 meters of silk organza and tulle split into 20 ruffles.

Grande accessorized her look with jewelry pieces by Swarovski, for which she serves as a global brand ambassador. Makeup artist Michael Anthony and hairstylist Alyx Liu provided glam for the actress, with image architect Law Roach curating the Oscar-nominated star’s look.

Michelle Yeoh

Michelle Yeoh wore the voluminous final look from Givenchy’s fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection designed by Sarah Burton. The ample frame of the dress created a quasi-bubbled effect in a light yellow shade with layers of tulle fabric. Yeoh accessorized with a bold statement necklace with her hair coiffed in a pixie cut.

Marissa Bode

Marissa Bode opted for a design by Anne Barge for her red carpet attire. The strapless dress evoked the Wicked Witch of the West in its dark shade of forest green. Styled by Alexandra Mandelkorn, Bode accentuated her “Wicked”-inspired attire with a pair of silver sparkling Christian Louboutin shoes akin to the memorable ruby red slippers from “The Wizard of Oz.”

Colman Domingo

Colman Domingo wore a look by Dolce & Gabbana. The Oscar-nominated actor’s attire wholly evoked The Cowardly Lion from “The Wizard of Oz,” with a statement furry coat with long sleeves and an exaggerated lapel. Domingo also wore a flowing cream shirt, light beige pants, and brown loafers with tassels. The actor’s look was curated by styling team Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald.

Jeff Goldblum

Jeff Goldblum channeled his Wizard of Oz character in a custom Prada look. Harkening back to the 1939 costumes for the original “Wizard of Oz,” Goldblum’s look, styled by Andrew T. Vottero, featured a green vest atop an emerald dress shirt, coordinated with a velvet blue, long-sleeve coat. A gold watch accessorized the waist of Goldblum’s attire, which was capped off with a pair of neutral gray trousers.

“Wicked: For Good” is the sequel to the 2024 film based on the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, which follows the relationship between Glinda, The Good Witch of the North, played by Grande, and Elphaba, The Wicked Witch of the West, played by Erivo, as Dorothy Gale crash lands into Oz. The film hits theaters Friday.
