If you’re anything like me, you’ve had Cynthia Erivo’s “Defying Gravity” riff stuck in your head for the last six months. But I come bearing good news: We have another moment to think about until Wicked's second half drops into theaters: Erivo’s 2025 Oscars red carpet look. The actress just arrived on the carpet at the 97th Academy Awards looking positively Wicked—in a good way, of course.
Erivo, who is nominated tonight in the Best Actress category for her portrayal of Elphaba Thropp in the film adaptation, donned a voluminous dark forest-green Louis Vuitton dress with an exaggerated off-the-shoulder neckline, a spiky collar, and a structured, bubble-like skirt. If anything, her look felt like the perfect match to Ariana Grande's pale pink look on the carpet tonight.
