Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo Defy Gravity With Dynamic Opener
‘Wicked’ Fashion: Every Time Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Channeled Their Characters
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo left the Oscars stage changed for good.
The Wicked costars dazzled the audience with their performances at the Oscars on March 2. On the Dolby Theater stage—which will also feature performances from Doja Cat, Blackpink’s LISA, Queen Latifah and RAYE—Ariana stunned in a red strapless sparking gown with tulle detail as she started their performance with a rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, while Cynthia turned heads in a white gown adorned with floral embellishments as she belted out “Home.” And together, fittingly, the two sang “Defying Gravity.” (See every celeb at the show here.)
Indeed the show-stopping number was just further proof that the Jon M. Chu movie remains popular. And it’s not just the crowd that proved as much as Wicked itself is nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Actress in a Leading Role for Cynthia’s portrayal of Elphaba and Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Ariana’s portrayal of Glinda.
While Elphaba and Glinda started as enemies, there is certainly no loathing between the pair. Since the film’s release in November, fans have loved seeing their friendship grow both on and off screen.
