Wicked Stars Shine on NYC Red Carpet Ahead of Film's Release
18 Nov
Summary
- Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo attend Wicked: For Good premiere in NYC
- Cast members wear signature pink and green looks on the red carpet
- Promotional tour has faced some challenges for Grande, including flight issues
On November 16, 2025, the cast of the highly anticipated Wicked: For Good film gathered in New York City for the red carpet premiere. Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and other cast members were in attendance, showcasing their signature pink and green looks that have become a staple of the press tour for both Wicked films.
The event marked the near-end of the Yellow Brick Road for the Wicked franchise, as the concluding film is set to hit theaters on November 21, 2025. While the cast's excitement was palpable, the promotional cycle has not been without its challenges, particularly for Grande.
Earlier this month, the pop star was unable to attend the Brazil premiere due to flight issues, and she was also charged by a fan invading the yellow carpet to get a photo with her in Singapore. Despite these setbacks, Grande and Erivo walked the carpet for the 2025 Governors Awards in Hollywood just days before the NYC premiere, continuing to promote the highly anticipated film.
The red carpet event in New York City was a chance for the cast to showcase their enthusiasm for the project. Ethan Slater's suit color foreshadowed his character Boq's path, while Marissa Bode wore a green dress with a poppy necklace and silver shoes, reminiscent of her character Nessarose's beloved slippers.
