Jon M. Chu’s Wicked, starring Cynthia Erivo (as Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (as Glinda), may not be out until late November, but hype for the movie-musical is already at an all-time high. “I’m so looking forward to everyone being able to see what we've created,” Erivo tells Vogue. “I’ve seen it already; I can’t wait to see how people experience it!” The simmering excitement for the film can be attributed, in part, to its two stars’ handful of appearances dressed in character—Erivo in shades of Elphaba green, and Grande in Glinda pinks. The method dressing continued last night at the 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony, as well: Erivo and Grande shut down the red carpet in two Wicked-inspired ensembles.
