Cynthia Erivo stepped onto the Oscars 2025 red carpet in a custom Louis Vuitton gown that channeled her “Wicked” role with a sharp twist. The deep green velvet design, cut with a structured collar and oversized bow, stood out clean and bold. Styled by Jason Bolden, she stacked it with Roberto Coin jewels and gold nails that took five hours to perfect—details that land sharp. Nominated for Best Actress, a win would land her EGOT status at 38, the youngest ever to pull it off.
The gown wasn’t the only heat Erivo brought. She kicked off the night with Ariana Grande, dropping a “Wicked” medley that owned the stage. Backstage, the velvet moved like it had its own pulse, the silhouette leaning into the film’s drama without overreaching. Those gold nails sealed it—small moves that stick. Erivo’s not just in the “Wicked” lane; she’s driving it, unapologetic and dead-on for 2025.
