'Wicked: For Good' Teases Costume Design By Paul Tazewell—See The Looks Here

Article (news)

<p>The world of <strong>Wicked: For Good </strong>unfolds in shades of color and transformation, guided by the creative eye of<strong> Paul Tazewell</strong>. Fresh from his Oscar win for the first film, Tazewell returns to Oz with the same commitment to storytelling through clothing.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761541519147Elphaba and Glinda.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Wicked: For Good</span></span></span></div><p>The story continues right where the first film ended, with <strong>Elphaba </strong>retreating into the shadows of the Ozian forest as <strong>Glinda </strong>steps into the bright spotlight of Emerald City. Their worlds couldn’t be more different, and their wardrobes reflect that contrast. Elphaba’s dark, weathered fabrics capture her growing isolation, while Glinda’s soft pastels and polished silhouettes embody her rise as the city’s symbol of light.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761541558828Elphaba.webp" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba for &#x27;Wicked: For Good&#x27;</span></span></span></div><p>Elphaba’s look changes with time and turmoil. Her once-familiar black cloak is now frayed and faded, showing how she’s let go of others’ expectations and embraced her true self. Pieces from the first film, like her tunic and coat, return as symbols of continuity. Later, her new velvet overcoat in deep blue and black, captures her growing strength and sense of purpose.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761541574708A look for Elphaba.webp" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">A closer look at Cynthia Erivo&#x27;s look for &#x27;Wicked: For Good&#x27;</span></span></span></div><p>Glinda’s fashion arc, in contrast, charts how external glamour gives way to something more refined. Her first major look in the sequel features a dream-like blue and lilac gown that nods to both The Wizard of Oz and the Wicked musical’s original blue dress.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761541591921Glinda - Bubble Dress.webp" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Ariana Grande as Glinda for &#x27;Wicked: For Good&#x27;</span></span></span></div><p>As Glinda’s role in Emerald City deepens, her style becomes more polished and structured. Her wedding gown, decorated with butterfly embroidery and paired with a flowing 25-meter veil, reflects her transformation as she learns to define goodness on her own terms.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761541605178A look for Glinda(1).webp" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">A closer look at Ariana Grande&#x27;s look for &#x27;Wicked: For Good&#x27;</span></span></span></div><p>Beyond the leads, Tazewell brings Oz to life with bold imagination.<strong> Madame Morrible</strong>’s green velvet gown shimmers with lightning-like embroidery, while the<strong> Wizard</strong>’s circus-inspired coats highlight his flair for spectacle. The sequel also reimagines <strong>Dorothy</strong>, the <strong>Tin Man</strong>, <strong>Scarecrow</strong>, and <strong>Lion</strong>, keeping them familiar yet true to<strong> L. Frank Baum</strong>’s original vision.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761541623948Madame Morrible.webp" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible for &#x27;Wicked: For Good&#x27;</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761541641648Wizard.webp" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard for &#x27;Wicked: For Good&#x27;</span></span></span></div><p>Across every scene, the costumes transcend mere looks, becoming narrative instruments that reflect evolution, conflict, and emotion. In a film filled with spells and spectacle, it’s the clothes that cast the most enduring magic.</p><div><br/></div><div><em>Photo Courtesy of Universal Pictures</em></div>
