While Ariana Grande’s and Cynthia Erivo’s press tour fashion has caught the eye of “Wicked” fans prerelease, audiences are about to witness the main sartorial moment for the film‘s two leads.

Costume design for the movie was led by Tony-winning costume designer Paul Tazewell, who tapped into the deep visual precedent for the characters.


“I love fantasy work as a designer,” says Tazewell, who designed the costumes for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musicals “Hamilton” and “In the Heights,” the latter of which was adapted for the screen by “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu. “I also love period work. And this ends up being a combination of both.”
