Domingo Dons Fierce Lion Look for Wicked Sequel Premiere

Colman Domingo embraced his role as the Cowardly Lion in "Wicked: For Good" with a memorable fashion statement at the film's recent New York City premiere. He sported a custom Dolce & Gabbana ensemble, featuring a dramatic faux fur coat, a silk shirt, and trousers, directly channeling the spirit of the beloved character. His "nod to Oz" was further evident in his choice of emerald-colored jewelry and olive green tassel loafers.

Domingo was officially announced as the voice of the Cowardly Lion in October, a casting choice teased by director Jon M. Chu via Instagram. Chu recounted reaching out to the busy actor, who readily accepted the role, leading to the recording of the lines. The premiere also saw the attendance of other "Wicked" stars, including Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, adding to the star-studded event.

Known for his distinctive and theatrical style, Domingo often expresses a desire to "look like I'm having a good time" and be "the party." This philosophy has been on full display throughout his recent promotional appearances, including a custom Anamika Khanna outfit for "The Running Man" and a shimmering Valentino creation for the Academy Museum Gala, showcasing his flair for high-fashion red carpet moments.
