Cynthia Erivo, nominated for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture musical or comedy for 'Wicked,' turned heads in an Elphaba-inspired gown and bewitching manicure by Rose Hackle on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet.

The actress put a sexy twist on her usual Elphaba-coded red carpet style in a plunging black gown with a silver floral brocade pattern and a sculptural rectangular peplum detail. A long skirt flowed out from underneath the structured piece, and she accessorized with a giant diamond ring, matching earrings, and silver hoops.

If you thought you had Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s Golden Globes looks all figured out, think again. Sure, it might have been easy to assume they’d show up in pink and green—an homage to their Wicked roles as Glinda and Elphaba.

And listen, at this point complaining about Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s displays of sisterhood is tired from anyone who hasn’t shot two films back to back and sung the musical’s iconic songs live.

The actor stepped onto the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Hollywood, California, in another Elphaba-inspired outfit. She wore a voluminous black gown emblazoned with a an ornate pattern in metallic silver. The V-shaped neckline plunged down to a scalloped peplum attachment, which added more drama to the sculptural look.
