CYNTHIA ERIVO: Cynthia Erivo fully tapped into the enchanting spirit of her character Elphaba, adorned in breathtaking Roberto Coin diamonds. However, it was her striking lion brooch that truly stole the spotlight—a fun and quirky homage to ‘Brrr’, the Cowardly Lion from the 2024 adaptation of Wicked, elegantly displayed on a chic black velvet choker. And if you’ve been following Erivo during this Wicked promo tour, you might have noticed her penchant for green gems—so be sure to zoom in and catch that stunning emerald resting atop the lion’s head, adding yet another layer to her character’s tribute!

ARIANA GRANDE: Ariana Grande brought serious sparkle to the “Wicked” Sydney premiere, honoring Glinda’s legacy in style! Dazzling in Vivienne Westwood, she paid homage to the iconic pink gown, topped off with custom butterfly bling by Lorraine Schwartz. And this wasn’t your average accessory—the butterfly-shaped choker clocked in at 90 carats alone and between her necklace, earrings, and a variety of rings – Grande’s overall jewelry look totaled over 100 carats in diamonds! It’s a glam throwback that would make the original Glinda proud.


Jonathan Bailey's frog brooch at Sydney premiere of 'Wicked'

JONATHAN BAILEY: Jonathan Bailey gave us a little Aussie nod on the red carpet, thanks to his sparkly new friend! When asked by Aussie Today about his choice, Bailey quipped, “I’ve got on a tiny little frog that I’m calling Toadie, after my favorite Neighbours character.” And this glittery amphibian was no ordinary accessory! Emmanuel Tarpin designed the dazzling frog perched slyly on Bailey’s waistband, coated in a color gradient of sapphires. A playful tribute, a little sparkle, and a dash of Aussie flair—could Bailey’s style get any more charming?

ISSAE RAE: Issae got the same color memo as Laura Harrier as both wore yellow on the red carpet. If we had to choose who had the better jewels, Issae’s Yvan Tufenkjian diamond earrings were a more glamorous choice and were better suited for the red carpet event than Harrier’s.
