In a dazzling display of support, co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande made quite the entrance at the 2024 Super Bowl, clad in shimmering custom jerseys inspired by their upcoming film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical, 'Wicked.' The event served as the perfect platform to release the first full-length trailer of the highly-anticipated movie, giving fans a thrilling sneak peek into the world of Glinda and Elphaba.
Grande, known for her hit song 'Thank U, Next,' gracefully donned a perfectly pink shirt that perfectly encapsulated her character, Glinda. Meanwhile, the talented actress from 'The Greatest Showman,' Erivo, exuded fierceness in her green jersey, a direct nod to the iconic character Elphaba. These vibrant ensembles mirrored the color themes associated with their respective roles.
While watching the intense battle between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, the duo sported jerseys adorned with the number 27, a clever nod to the film's first release date on November 27, 2024. This attention to detail added an extra layer of excitement for fans eagerly awaiting this screen adaptation.
This isn't the first time Grande has embraced her character's style off-screen. Last summer, she turned heads at Wimbledon sporting green-tinted Tiffany sunglasses, hinting at her upcoming role. Additionally, she underwent a transformation, debuting a new blonde hairstyle in October 2022.
Joining Grande and Erivo in the crowd were a multitude of other famous faces. Taylor Swift, accompanied by Blake Lively and Ice Spice, passionately supported her boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' tight end. Swift's outfit playfully incorporated nods to her beau's team, showcasing her unwavering support.
Hailey and Justin Bieber also made a fashionable entrance, with Hailey stunning in a leopard-printed coat that embraced the viral 'mob wife' trend. Clearly, style and sports went hand-in-hand at this high-profile event.
The halftime show was another star-studded spectacle, featuring Usher and special guest Alicia Keys. The duo set the stage ablaze, dressed in dazzling Dolce & Gabbana outfits. Their electrifying presence added an extra layer of excitement to an already thrilling game.
As the clock ticked down and the cheers roared through Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, it was evident that this Super Bowl became more than a sporting event—it was an opportunity for celebrities to blend their love for their favorite teams with their on-screen personas. The glitz, glamour, and anticipation surrounding the 'Wicked' movie release soared to new heights, and fans across the globe eagerly awaited the enchanting tale of Glinda and Elphaba on the big screen.
With the movie's first installment slated to hit theaters on November 27, 2024, and the second part scheduled for November 26, 2025, it is safe to say that the magical world of 'Wicked' will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.
