Pink goes good with green.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are set to enchant fans on the big screen when “Wicked” officially hits theaters on Nov. 22, but the pair have fully embraced their larger-than-life characters via fashion since shortly after their casting was announced.

Starting with swankified pink and green glitter T-shirts at the 2024 Super Bowl on February, Grande, 31, and Erivo, 37, have expertly embodied Glinda and Elphaba in their signature colors and styles for months.

And with the second part of the “Wizard of Oz”-inspired movie adaptation of the Broadway musical set for 2025, fans have plenty more to look forward to in the next year. Below, see all of Grande and Erivo’s wonderfully witchy red carpet looks thus far.

Grande and Erivo kicked off the film’s unofficial press tour at the Super Bowl in February, attending the big game in sparkling custom Louis Vuitton T-shirt dresses inspired by football jerseys.

Along with “LV” — a nod to both the fashion house and the Super Bowl’s location — the looks were adorned with the number 27, a nod to the flick’s original November 27 release date. (It’s since been bumped up to November 22.)

While “Wicked” is expected to be nominated in multiple categories for the 2025 Oscars, Ariana and Cynthia hit the stage at this year’s ceremony to present the award for best original score, decked out in their Glinda- and Elphaba-inspired finest.

Grande chose a voluminous Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown with a larger-than-life cape and bubblegum pink morganite jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

Erivo, meanwhile, wore a dark green leather Louis Vuitton gown with ruffles that certainly ruffled some people’s feathers, including “The View” host Ana Navarro. The political commentator compared Erivo’s look to an “iguana” and called Grande’s “an homage to cotton candy.”

April’s CinemaCon marked the first time Grande and Erivo truly stepped out in character.

Grande bloomed in a 3D floral minidress by Oscar de la Renta, which appeared to be a tribute to the iconic poppy field from “The Wizard of Oz.”

Erivo picked an off-the-shoulder green Versace corset and matching knee-high boots styled with a silver sparkling miniskirt.

The pair hit the Paris 2024 Olympics in style, posing at the Opening Ceremony under the Eiffel Tower.

Erivo looked sharp in an emerald green strapless Louis Vuitton dress teamed with a flat-topped hat. “We were inspired by Dominique Deveraux from Dynasty when finding references,” she told Vogue of the structured look. “Her edge, her sophistication, her elegant Parisian style. It’s also been lovely to use the reference of a beautiful, strong Black woman.”

Grande looked gorgeous in a custom bow-trimmed Thom Browne look, the first of many to come from the pop star.

Australian premiere

November brought the first official premiere for the hotly anticipated film.

Paying homage to Billie Burke’s original portrayal of the Good Witch in the 1939 movie, Grande wore a perfectly pink Vivienne Westwood gown that included embellishments in the shape of her twinkling wand. She topped the look off with a stunning diamond butterfly-shaped necklace that jeweler Lorraine Schwartz told us clocked in at more than 100 carats.

Erivo went for a green manicure, a black strapless Louis Vuitton gown with a dramatically structured skirt, and her own oversized Roberto Coin diamond necklace.

The duo also attended a photocall while in Sydney, with Grande in a bow-trimmed tube top and skirt by Thom Browne and Erivo in a peplum Marc Jacobs dress, platform boots and a fascinator.

On Nov. 9, the pair brought their movie stateside, hitting the yellow brick road in the City of Angels.

Erivo looked stunning in a green latex cutout gown and fringed cape jacket by Louis Vuitton, while Grande put her own spin on Dorothy’s sparkling slippers.

The pint-sized singer modeled a pair of silver heels covered in 4,000 Swarovski crystals, which paired perfectly with her pink gingham Thom Browne dress decorated with 600,000 beads and 5,000 crystals.

Mexico premiere

Erivo fully embraced her inner witch for the Mexico City premiere on Nov. 11, walking the red carpet in a creepy custom Thom Browne gown topped with two clawed hands (and complete with an emerald manicure, per a press release).

Grande looked ethereal in an iridescent Atelier Versace corset gown that appeared to change colors in the light, flashing shades of white, blue and pink — much like the bubble in which her character travels.
