Grande and Erivo Shine
Ariana Grande stole the spotlight at the Wicked premiere in Sydney, Australia, on Saturday night, radiating elegance in a stunning blush pink Vivienne Westwood Couture gown. The enchanting dress featured cascading layers of pink tulle adorned with delicate peach crystal embellishments that beautifully formed Westwood's signature Starburst motif, a design staple introduced over a decade ago. Grande’s ensemble was accentuated by a form-fitting corset bodice and ethereal, sheer sleeves that gracefully extended to her wrists, adding a timeless charm to her red-carpet presence.
The gown’s voluminous skirt cascaded to the ground in a waterfall of fabric, accompanied by Lorraine Schwartz jewelry — a butterfly choker and diamond earrings — that added an extra touch of elegance. She styled her hair half-up, with a single tendril framing her face, and chose a natural makeup palette featuring a subtle cat-eye and a glossy pink lip.
Grande’s Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo also embraced drama, arriving in a striking Louis Vuitton gown with a trailing skirt and a large bow that gave the dress a sculptural flair. Erivo accessorized her outfit with a black choker featuring a silver pendant, iridescent green sunglasses, and bold silver rings, punctuating her look with a chic green manicure. At the premiere, the two actresses lit up the “yellow brick road” runway, flaunting their distinctive fashion choices and highlighting the deep friendship they've nurtured during filming. Grande spoke candidly about their connection, saying, "I can glance at her and immediately understand her thoughts... because without that connection, everything else falls flat."
