Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Don't Channel Wicked at 2025 Golden Globes

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo took a break from channeling their Wicked characters’ aesthetic.

Grande, 31, and Erivo, 37, looked beyond fabulous at the 2025 Golden Globes, which took place on Sunday, January 5. Grande, for her part, stunned in a vintage Givenchy yellow gown featuring a delicate beaded neckline and an empire waist. She dressed up her look even more with white gloves and diamond jewelry from Swarovski. Grande, who is nominated for Best Supporting Female Actor for her role as Glinda in Wicked, also showed off her new hair color: a strawberry blonde hue a shade darker than her usual blonde locks.

Erivo — up for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy — looked timeless in a glittery Roberto Coin gown featuring silver florals and a plunging neckline. The pièce de résistance was the skirt of her dress, which had a structural rectangular shape that protruded from her hips. Underneath, the skirt plummeted into long pleats.

Erivo opened up to E! about her color switch-up, sharing, “The thing is, green is Elphaba’s favorite color but what she wears is black. So we’ve been playing around with it and bringing green in occasionally.”

Her makeup was just as exquisite, featuring smokey eyeshadow and long lashes. Erivo topped off her look with a fabulous nail design complete with different colored nails and silver jewels, which she said took five hours.

While the stars decided not to wear their Wicked character’s iconic colors, green and pink, they previously channeled Glinda and Elphaba’s wardrobe while hitting the red carpet during the movie’s press tour.

Perhaps Grande’s most talked-about look came at the London premiere in November. For the occasion, she donned a yellow Ralph Lauren gown reminiscent of her Broadway character’s costume that Glinda wore while singing “One Short Day.” Just as Glinda did on stage, Grace accessorized with round green-tinted sunglasses.

Erivo also looked fabulous at each Wicked premiere, with most ethereal look coming at the Mexico City premiere, where she wore a custom Thom Browne dress featuring hands on her shoulder in the iconic shape of the Wicked Witch of the West’s talons.
