Another San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone, but not without the Her Universe Fashion Show embracing glitz, glam, and geek couture for the eleventh year. Her Universe founder Ashley Eckstein and co-host Michael James Scott embraced all things Universal and Wicked for the event this time. Eckstein's was of course a familiar name in the SDCC sphere even before the fashion show thanks to her role as the voice of Star Wars' Ahsoka Tano, but it turns out that even being part of as formidable franchise as Star Wars didn't mean overcoming all of her fears about performing.
She and her co-host spoke with CinemaBlend about going full Wicked for SDCC this year, including why she pushed herself to play the Glinda to her Broadway best friend's Elphaba. I was fortunate enough to attend the Her Universe Fashion Show for the first time this year after Eckstein had opened up about leaning into Wicked and defying fashion. The Her Universe founder teased ahead of time that there "will be singing" with Michael James Scott on stage, but she joined him to kick off the fashion show with a medley of Wicked songs, including "Defying Gravity."
