Wicked costars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande seem to have developed an impenetrable friendship, which might just include copying each other's fashion choices. Erivo arrived at the 2025 BAFTAs red carpet without Grande, but the pop star's influence was very much evident in the actress's outfit details.
For the prestigious awards ceremony, Erivo wore a dramatic, floor-length custom Louis Vuitton gown styled by Jason Bolden made from white lace, and featuring a sheer breastplate. Having arrived wearing a long white coat over her shoulders, Erivo removed it to reveal her strapless gown and the sculptural breastplate attached to the bodice. She completed the outfit with white strappy heels, diamond drop Tiffany & Co. earrings, and a matching bracelet, both featuring huge emeralds—a nod to Elphaba's famous skin tone.
