The costars honored their characters, with a few stylish tweaks, in their show-stopping red carpet ensembles
Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are looking magical!
The Wicked costars embraced method dressing for their upcoming film as they attended the fourth annual Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday, Oct. 19, though they gave their fairytale looks a little contemporary edge.
Erivo, 37, arrived in her first of two looks of the night wearing a custom Louis Vuitton strapless gown in green — matching the color associated with her character Elphaba in Wicked — with intricate beading and a bubble hem.
The actress accessorized her look with a stack of silver bracelets and rings with green stones, along with matching drop earrings. She wore shimmering green eyeshadow with a brown lip.
Grande, 31, embodied the fairytale princess look of her Wicked character Glinda the Good Witch — with a twist — as she wore a custom Balmain 1963 couture gown in a black and white polka dot strapless design, rather than the pink that Glinda is known for. The dress had a bow detail across the chest, a fitted black waistband and a full skirt.
