Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are celebrating the success of their Academy Award-winning Wicked costar Michelle Yeoh. On Sunday evening, they toasted Yeoh’s 2023 Oscar win at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park hotel in London.
Yeoh made history as the first Asian woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 2023 ceremony for the imaginative film Everything Everywhere All at Once. Now, she’s set to play Madame Morrible in the new film adaptation of Wicked, alongside Erivo as Elphaba and Grande as Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.
Grande posed with Yeoh and wore a simple black V-neck sleeveless knit top and a black leather Christian Dior mini skort with a gold CD buckle and accessorized with pearl drop earrings. The “Dangerous Woman” singer sported a bright blonde ponytail with matching blonde eyebrows to play the famously fair-haired witch.
Erivo, on the other hand, remained committed to her signature maximalist aesthetic, wearing a white and green striped button-down dress shirt with a sage green silk tie under a metallic silver knit jumper. The Harriet actress slipped into a pair of brown platform boots and completed her look with pastel green thick-framed glasses.
Yeoh wore a beige-colored knee-length tank dress with an embroidered white jacket on top.
Grande took to her Instagram Stories with selfie of the trio, writing “we love you so much @michelleyeoh_official it hurts.”
Naomi Campbell, Anya Taylor-Joy and Wicked director Jon M. Chu were also in attendance.
The Universal musical is set to hit theaters on November 27, 2024. Last April, production announced they would be breaking the story up into two films. The sequel will be released one year later.
The highly anticipated film is based on the Broadway musical Wicked, which is still running on The Great White Way after 18 years on stage. A prequel to the Wizard of Oz, the show’s description reads, “There is a young woman, born with emerald-green skin — smart, fiery, misunderstood and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships, until the world decides to call one good and the other one wicked.”
