Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo channel their “evil” characters

For her part, Erivo leaned into her character Elphaba's witch look with a similarly dramatic look. She wore a strapless black Louis Vuitton dress and made sure to show off the dress's sculptural silhouette. A massive bow at the back of the dress gave her outfit some extra edge, and the design's pointed ends accentuated her hips. The dress's billowing skirt was contrasted by the corseted bodice, which accentuated the minimalist square neckline with a small notch.

A thick black choker adorned with a large diamond brooch by Roberto Coin completed Erivo's look. She accessorized with iridescent green sunglasses, silver hoop earrings, and a handful of silver diamond rings (also from Roberto Coin). While keeping her glam natural, she showcased a gorgeous green manicure that showed off her character. As she posed with Grande on the Yellow Brick Road carpet, the two shared a loving hug, proving that their friendship extended off-screen as well.
