Ariana Grande has delivered some of our favorite performances, from her lovingly fun character on "Victorious" that brings a nostalgic flashback to childhood, to her hit song "Thank U, Next." Now, Grande is set to star as Glinda in the upcoming movie "Wicked," a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz."


In Vanity Fair's November issue, Grande told the publication that she and her co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, share similar fashion tastes. Both actresses showed up to production dressed in cozy knit sweaters and jeans.

Although publicity for the movie has prompted inspiration for spectacular looks, such as Grande’s pink full length dress, embellished with a single shoulder and ruffles to highlight the Witch of the North’s style.


Cynthia Erivo brings a whole new look for the Wicked witch of the West. In her Vanity Fair photoshoot for the release of Wicked, Erivo went all out in a gold shimmering body suit, golden wings, and a golden head-piece. This look inspires a new perspective of her iconic “Wicked” character. Perhaps such symbolism could include comparing the witch everyone fears to an angel separate from those around her.


Whether you’re already a fan of Wicked or new to the story, this movie is a must-see, with influential actors like Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo bringing our favorite witches to life. The powerhouse duo is sure to deliver fresh fashion inspiration through their modern take on this classic tale.
