Cynthia Erivo, the Tony Award-winning actor renowned for her powerful performances, proves that embracing the iconic green hue associated with her upcoming role as Elphaba in the musical blockbuster “Wicked” is not just a trend—it’s a statement.
As excitement builds for the film’s release, Erivo has seamlessly incorporated verdant outfits into her wardrobe, with stylist Jason Bolden expertly curating looks that embody the essence of her character.

However, long before she took the stage to share insights about her career, Erivo had already made an indelible mark on the evening’s proceedings – all while draped in a striking lime green gown by Carolina Herrera.

Adorned with thousands of meticulously embroidered rhinestones and sparkling three-dimensional gems, the dress showcased a harmonious blend of elegance and artistic flair. Each glimmering element caught the light, creating a visual feast that drew admirers’ eyes.
Adding another layer of drama, Erivo donned a floor-length opera coat, elegantly resting around her elbows. This stunning layering piece enhanced the overall look, echoing the theatricality of her forthcoming role.
To harmonize with the bold styling of her gown, Erivo accessorized with a sparkling silver princess necklace, designed in a sunburst shape which gracefully adorned her collarbone. The necklace not only enriched the ensemble but also accentuated her natural beauty. Complementing this, she wore climber earrings that resembled pointy ice crystals, creating a dynamic visual that echoed the gown’s striking appeal.

With a year remaining before the sequel arrives, both Erivo and her co-star, Ariana Grande, will likely keep the vibrant method dressing alive, indulging fans with even more thematic looks.
In all likelihood, Erivo will slip in a few more on-brand outfits before the end of the year, ensuring that her green fashion journey remains as enchanting as her portrayal of Elphaba. As she captivates audiences on and off the screen, one thing is clear: Cynthia Erivo knows how to turn green into a dazzling statement.
