Cynthia Erivo at 2025 Academy Awards: See what the 'Wicked' star wore to red carpet
Cynthia Erivo continues to ride high after her blockbuster role in the movie “Wicked,” making an appearance at the Academy Awards on Sunday.
The "Wicked" star donned an extravagant forest green gown on the red carpet.
The actress and singer is nominated in the best actress category for playing Elphaba Thropp in the fantasy musical adaption alongside Ariana Grande, who is nominated in the best supporting actress category.
Erivo has also been nominated for other awards for her role in “Wicked,” among them the Critics Choice Movie Awards, the BAFTA Awards and the SAG Awards.
“Moments like this don’t come along very often, and when they do, it is sacrilege to let them pass by without a moment of gratitude,” she said on Instagram. “I often get asked what I would say to my younger self. Well, today there’s nothing to be said. She is smiling, beaming, glowing from ear to ear. That speaks volumes.”
