Like her character Glinda, Grande, 31, arrived in style, wearing a voluminous pink dress, which featured a fitted bodice and striking sleeves covered in a sheer fabric that featured glitter detailing and a full skirt. She completed the look with a diamond butterfly necklace and diamond butterfly ring from Lorraine Schwartz, and wore her hair in a sleek ponytail with one loose curl framing her face.
Erivo, 37, who plays Elphaba, departed from her character’s signature green in a sleek strapless black dress that featured a striking structured skirt that flared at her hips. The actress and singer paired Grande with her own necklace, a black and white statement piece that perfectly complemented her dress.
