Tate McRae wasn't the only nominee decked in custom Balenciaga on Grammys night. Creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli dressed Cynthia Erivo on February 1, too, just not at the 2026 Grammys. Instead, the Balenciaga-wearing Wicked star accepted a 2026 Critics' Circle Film Award all the way in London.
Erivo spent the latest awards season Sunday at The May Fair Hotel, where she accepted The Derek Malcolm Award for Innovation. It's only right she delivered an innovative red carpet look, courtesy of Balenciaga's atelier. (She and Ariana Grande won a 2026 Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance around the same time, though neither attended the actual ceremony.) What started as a strapless, bone-in bustier stretched into a delicately-draped column skirt, which became droopier with each cascading row of ruching.
