For Cynthia Erivo, the days of typical press tours are over. Wicked has changed the way she views promotional dressing for good. Now, her approach is full method mode or bust. On February 17, Erivo celebrated Dracula's opening night in an elongated leather coat, color-matched to the project's blood red playbill.
After a month of rehearsals spent transforming into Bram Stoker's vampire, Erivo looked every bit her on-stage character at the post-show party—minus the fangs, of course. Stylist Jason Bolden—the same creative behind her Wicked and Wicked: For Good press looks—dressed Erivo in a black turtleneck bodysuit as the outfit's base. Its only purpose was to spotlight the layers on top, including the main event: a shoulder-padded, ankle-grazing coat.
