Now, let’s talk about Ariana Grande. Oh, darling, she arrived dressed in a pale pink concoction that screamed “Good Witch” with the subtlety of a flying monkey. We’re talking about a look that had everything from a fairy-tale skirt to a mini cape that would make any superhero jealous! Styled to perfection by Mimi Cuttrell, it felt like the dress was so whimsical that it might just take flight. Those glass slippers? Yes, please! It’s almost as if she plucked them off the set of a Disney film. Watch out, Cinderella—you’ve got competition!
And then there’s Cynthia Erivo, a woman who doesn’t just wear a dress; she wears a statement. This Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning wonder graced the carpet in an all-black-and-green ensemble, a visual pun on her character Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. She donned a Louis Vuitton creation that looked like it had been pulled straight from the depths of a fashion spellbook. Coated leather? Check. Fringed overcoat? Double check! And let’s not forget the jewelry—if she didn’t dazzle, you’d think the lights must be out! All this styling courtesy of Jason Bolden, of course.
In summary, the premiere wasn’t just a showcase of talent; it was a display of sartorial brilliance that only Hollywood can conjure up. As we await the official release, remember to keep your eyes peeled because with this wickedly good cast, magic is surely in the air. Until then, let’s keep our fingers crossed that the film lives up to the glitzy promises of its premiere. Who knows, if it flops, we might end up with some wicked glitter bombs to throw at the critics! Now, wouldn’t that be magical?
