Summary
- Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo attend 'Wicked: For Good' NYC premiere
- Colman channels Cowardly Lion in Dolce & Gabbana look on the red carpet
- Director Jon M. Chu calls the event a "Met Gala" moment

On November 17, 2025, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo attended the New York City premiere of the highly anticipated film 'Wicked: For Good,' marking the end of their 5-year journey with the beloved musical. The event was a true fashion spectacle, with Colman, the Academy Award nominee, channeling his character of the Cowardly Lion in a Dolce & Gabbana look complete with a brown fur coat, tan dress pants, and a low-cut v-neck shirt.
Director Jon M. Chu knew that bringing together this star-studded cast, which also included Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum, would create a "Met Gala" moment on the red carpet. Chu was not only impressed by Colman's impeccable style but also felt that the actor truly embodied the spirit of the Cowardly Lion, a character who was first introduced in the original 'Wicked' film as a young cub saved by Elphaba and Fiyero.
