We're used to seeing Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande method-dressing on the Wicked press tour, but in this instance it was Blake Lively who stepped up to the mantle.

The actress and her husband Ryan Reynolds joined the cast of the movie at a special screening in New York on December 3.

If you look to the ground, you'll see a pair of glittering 'ruby slippers' on Lively's feet – a stylish nod to The Wizard of Oz.

Here's a closer look!

Unlike the ones Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) wore in the beloved movie, Lively's red sparkling shoes appear to have a towering platform heel.

It's not the It Ends With Us star's first time slipping into Dorothy mode; she dressed up as the character for Taylor Swift's New Year's Eve party in 2019, with the photos splashed across social media.
