Fans of the hit Broadway musical Wicked were treated to a delightful surprise when Universal released the first poster for its upcoming film adaptation. The poster featured Grammy-winning pop star Ariana Grande in the role of Glinda the Good Witch and Grammy-, Tony-, and Emmy-winning actor Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba the Wicked Witch. While fans eagerly anticipated their first look at the characters, they couldn't help but focus on Ariana Grande's extravagant costume, which sparked a hilarious internet debate.
The costume in question is an enormous bubblegum pink gown adorned with multiple layers of fluffy fabric. To some, this elaborate ensemble bore an uncanny resemblance to various types of meat, leading to a plethora of meat-themed comparisons circulating online. Images likening the gown to prosciutto platters and meat aisles quickly went viral, making it impossible to unsee the meaty connection.
