Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo hit the green carpet hand-in-hand at Wicked: For Good premiere

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have led the red carpet at the Wicked: For Good premiere in London.

The duo, who play lead characters Glinda and Elphaba, held hands as they posed together at the green carpet event.

Grande wore a black gown, which is a stark difference from the bright and airy colour palette the actress and singer has previously worn on the press tour for the movie.

Her hair was tied up into a slicked-back bun.

British Broadway star Erivo wore a navy blue and back dress, which is on theme with the aesthetic of her character in the film.

Her signature long nails were blue and pink and she carried a black bag.

Other members of the cast were also in attendance, including People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive for 2025, Jonathan Bailey.

Bailey lived up to his title in a two-piece grey outfit with a dark grey overcoat.

The British actor wore a poppy on his lapel for Remembrance Day.

Director Jon M. Chu was also in attendance, as well as Michelle Yeoh, who plays Madam Morrible and Jeff Goldblum, who plays the Wizard of Oz.

Yeoh wore a black dress with a tulle neckline and skirt that reached the floor.

She also wore a chunky white necklace.

Ethan Slater, who plays Boc, was in attendance, dressed in a silver and black tux.

Marissa Bode, who plays Elphaba's sister Nessa Rose, wore a black dress with red floral details.

It's been a big few weeks for the cast of Wicked.

As mentioned, Bailey became the first openly gay man to be named the Sexiest Man of the year.

Meanwhile, Erivo and Grande were nominated for a Grammy in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for Defying Gravity, from the Wicked soundtrack.

Erivo also earned a single nomination for her track Be Okay in the Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella category.

Wicked: For Good is the sequel of 2024 film Wicked, the adaptation of the Broadway-winning musical, which was split into two parts.

The play tells the story of the Wicked Witch of the East and Glinda the Good from The Wizard of Oz, explaining how each came to be.
