It’s hard to believe, but the Wicked press tour has officially come to an end… for good.
Earlier this month, stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande wrapped up their whirlwind promotion for both Wicked films. Over the past two years, we’ve seen countless fashion moments and method dressing approaches—always centered around Elphaba’s signature green and Glinda’s pink, of course. But Grande saved one of her best Glinda-inspired gowns for last.
During her final publicity rounds for Wicked: For Good, Grande shared photos of herself in a pink tulle Givenchy gown adorned with satin ribbons—a perfect, princess-like dress that her character Glinda often wears in the films. Even better than its on-theme appeal is the dress’s unique backstory.
This wedding dress first appeared on the fall 1995 couture runway, modeled by Angelica Boss. It was part of Givenchy’s fall 1995 couture collection, designed by Hubert de Givenchy himself. The gown served as the closing look of his final show as the house’s designer, presented at Paris’s Grand Hotel. It’s an iconic piece of fashion history—a museum-worthy creation that highlights one of the influential designer’s last works. As always, it showcased his signature emphasis on silhouette, color, and texture.
Three decades later, the design’s low scoop-neck, long sleeves, and full skirt still feel timeless on a modern superstar like Ariana Grande. (Though she does have a knack for reviving retro pieces.)
While Grande has worn many vintage outfits throughout the Wicked tour, styled by Law Roach, this perfect Glinda choice earns extra points for coming from one of the most celebrated couture collections in recent history. Now that’s how you do Hollywood fashion.
