Returning to her penchant for impeccable tailoring, Erivo also opted for a navy Vivienne Westwood suit with rounded shoulders and a gathered waistline, as well as a velvet black Mugler corset, and a Sergio Hudson tuxedo-style waistcoat fastened with a floral brooch, shirt, and suit pants, as well as bejeweled collar pins.
Entering into her witchiest looks, Erivo wore a silky black Yves Saint Laurent dress with a Victorian-esque tie neckline, which fell into a bewitching, furry-hemmed skirt—from the fall 2024 collection. Looking more like a Bushwick witch (complimentary), Erivo slipped into another Mugler piece: this time, a body-hugging, hooded black sleeveless gown. In the most Elphaba-coded look, she wore a velvet Alex Perry gown with a matching coat, which featured brilliantly green feathered arms and a black feather-pocked neckpiece.
To perform the ensemble piece “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Michelle Yeoh slipped on a sapphire blue gown from Christian Siriano’s fall 2025 collection. The custom gown featured a fitted bodice with a neckline that sat above her clavicles, and a floating blue and black striped sheer skirt.
In what felt more red carpet ready than Madame Morrible (again, complimentary), the actor opted for a draped black Schiaparelli dress with a gold halter neckline and matching hoop earrings.
The two hour musical special saw Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba), Ariana Grande (Glinda), Michelle Yeoh (Madame Morrible), Jeff Goldblum (The Wizared), Bowen Yang (Pfannee), Marissa Bode (Nessarose), and Ethan Slater (Boq) back in their roles, accompanied by a 37-piece live orchestra led by Stephen Oremus. Sneak peeks at Wicked: For Good were shown, as well as two new songs from Erivo and Grande, written by the composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz.
It was a grand, sparkly, feel-good reimagining of the musical’s hit songs and scenes. Grande, recruited a toddler to stand in for Erivo during a charming version of “Popular,” Yeoh did some voguing, and Erivo and Grande were joined by their original Broadway counterparts, Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel, for a tear-jerking piano rendition of “For Good.” Grande and Erivo also performed a version of Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand’s culture-defining duet medley of “Happy Days Are Here Again” and “Get Happy” from a 1963 episode of The Judy Garland Show, and of course, Erivo flew across the audience to hit her “Defying Gravity” powerhouse notes. Bowen Yang took on some SNL style hosting duties, and spoof clips were shown of Khloe Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Ludachirs, and more celebrities pretending to audition.
