CYNTHIA Erivo and Ariana Grande looked incredible as the joined forces to lead the stars of Wicked: For Good’s European premiere.
The duo – who star as warring leading ladies Elphaba and Glinda in the second and final part of the beloved musical movie – held hands as they posed on the carpet together.
In a stark change to Glinda’s typical pink and pastel colour palette, Ariana donned a stunning bejeweled black gown for the event, with her newly brunette hair slicked back.
British star Cynthia stole the show in a navy blue and black dress, which was accentuated with a black leather belt and PVC arms.
Her signature long nails were a stunning blue and pink, with the star wearing a giant pink diamond ring on her finger.
Leicester Square was transformed into the Wonderful World of Oz for the event – complete with a yellow brick carpet in place of the classic red.
Jonathan Bailey, who plays love interest Fiyero, looked comparatively casual as he posed for pics, with the Brit star – recently named Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine – wrapping up against the London chill in a great suit and a black coat.
Donning sunglasses as he smiled for the cameras, Jonathan kept his hands in his pockets and showed off a growing beard as he posed.
Notably, Ariana’s partner Ethan Slater – who plays Boq in the films – posed alone, smiling for cameras in a grey and black suit, completing the look with a remembrance poppy on his lapel.
His appearance comes amid rumours the couple have called time on their romance, which is believed to have started while they were filming the two movies back-to-back in England between 2019 and 2021.
Jeff Goldblum, who plays the conniving fraud Wizard, kept in character by wearing a signature emerald green waistcoast, shirt and tie, completing the look with a brown trench coat.
He beamed as he joined his wife, Emilie Livingston, keeping a protective arm around her on the carpet.
Michelle Yeoh looked elegant and stunning in a black gown, draped with pearls and diamonds.
Beaming as she waved to the fans who were waiting outside to catch a glimpse of the cast, the friendly star looked miles away from the cruel and calculated Madam Morrible she plays on screen.
As one of the most anticipated premieres of the year, Wicked: For Good also attracted a host of UK favourites who went all out for the movie, many choosing to wear outfits inspired by the iconic characters.
Myleene Klass gave a little nod to the legendary Dorothy Gale from the Wizard of Oz with glistening ruby slippers, matched with a tiny neon green mini-dress that showed off her legs.
Heart Radio star Ashley Roberts – famed for her daring looks – opted to take inspo from the Tin Man with a silver dress that clung to her body and exposed part of her torso and chest.
Scarlett Moffatt embraced her inner Glinda The Good Witch in a baby pink dress adorned with flowers.
Meanwhile Hannah Lowther, a West End star and TikTok sensation, also showed her allegiance to Glinda with a stunning hot pink tulle mini dress.
Amanda Holden was on typically fine form, also supporting Team Glinda in a pale pink dress with a thigh high slit that showed off her iconic legs.
Despite being Ariana Grande’s half-brother, West End star Frankie Grande proved to be totally team Elphaba in black leather trousers and matching jacket, exposing his entire chest as he happily posed for pictures.
Tasha Ghouri, whose blonde hair was in a slicked back bob, wore a daring black dress with a bodice comprised of flowers.
Taking time off from her gruelling Strictly schedule, Amber Davies joined her boyfriend on the carpet, looking stunning in a pale lemon mini dress with puffy sleeves.
Wicked: For Good is one of the most anticipated movies of the year – and wraps up the tragic story between the warring witches.
The film follows act two of the theatre production – picking up years after the first movie, which saw Elphaba shunned from Oz society and branded a Wicked Witch after discovering the beloved Wizard was a fraud.
With the Wizard and Madame Morrible turning her entire world against her, Elphaba has been living in exile, while her former best friend Glinda became known as a beacon of good for those who live in Oz.
But she’s soon forced out of hiding to end the treachery once and for all – as Glinda and those she loves, including Fiyero, Boq and Nessarose, decide where their loyalties and priorities lie.
The film also interconnects Wicked’s story with that of the Wizard of Oz, with the two tales running in tandem with each other before colliding in an all out finale.
On top of the songs made famous by the musical, Wicked: For Good will also feature two new songs created just for the film – and are already receiving Oscar Buzz.
The Girl In The Bubble will be sung by Ariana, while No Place Like Home will be performed by Cynthia – and both reflect on what their lives have become and what they are separately fighting for.
Wicked: For Good is available in cinemas from November 21st.
