The 5 Best-Dressed People Of 2024

Cynthia Erivo nailed her “Wicked” press tour looks.

Method dressing has been one of the decade’s hottest red-carpet trends, and one actor who’s really risen to the challenge is Cynthia Erivo, whose Elphaba-inspired looks have been stellar throughout the “Wicked” press tour.

Woolf told BI, “I think the way she embodied her character from the movie in a red carpet fashion perspective was really interesting and really elevated.”

It “still gave a character, but it didn’t verge on costume, but it still gave fashion,” he added.

Of all her press looks, Woolf said he was a fan of the Thom Browne dress she wore in Mexico City (above left), the Schiaparelli gown she wore for the London premiere (above middle), and her work with Louis Vuitton (above right).

Erivo spoke with Vogue in November about the electric-green vinyl Louis Vuitton gown she wore to the film’s LA premiere, telling the publication that the look let her character “own the green color in such a big, bold way!”

“I thought the fabric choice was strong and divine, which is how I see my character,” she added.

But what elevates Erivo’s press tour looks from her counterparts?

To Woolf, it’s a combination of the designers’ interpretations, who’s wearing the clothes — the same garment on two people can translate completely differently — and an understanding that “less is more.”

“When you’re giving a nod to a theme, it can simply be the color, like Cynthia Erivo wore green. So, I think it’s less is more, and just taking one element and not making it a whole thing,” he said.
