With plenty of time to pay homage to Elphaba’s verdigris ahead of Wicked: For Good, Cynthia Erivo channeled the queen of hearts with her black and red Givenchy gown.
Designed by creative director Sarah Burton, the Wicked actress’ regal dress featured a ruby-crystal-embellished corset with dramatic up-to-her-ears shoulders and a lace-up back. Black micro shorts showed off the Broadway star’s upper thigh tattoos, and the high-low black tulle skirt featured a voluminous trailing train. Erivo’s look was completed with knee-high lace-up boots, a matching handbag and her signature talon-like nails finished with crystals and beads.
Makeup artist Joanna Simkin used all products by Clinique for Erivo’s Met Gala beauty, which was punctuated by a dainty black heart painted on her right cheekbone.
Erivo will star as Jesus opposite Adam Lambert as Judas in the special production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl from Aug. 1 to 3.
The Met Gala, The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual fundraiser, celebrates the Costume Institute’s spring fashion exhibition. 2025’s exhibit, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. To adhere to this evening’s theme, guests and celebrity stylists are tasked with interpreting the accompanying dress code: “Tailored for you.”
This year’s Met Gala co-chairs were Vogue‘s Anna Wintour, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Williams, while LeBron James — who was unable to attend the event — was named honorary chair.
