With the Wicked press tour coming to an end, Cynthia Erivo showed up to the final premiere at Lincoln Center in New York City on Monday November 17 in a custom Balenciaga gown by the house newest creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli.

She wore a sculptural black turtleneck gown with long leather sleeves. It also had a pleated drop waist skirt that flowed behind her and a feathered detailing around the bust area. Cynthia told Harper’s Bazaar that she wanted the dress to feel like Elphaba’s take on couture. “If she were to attend a premiere, this is how she would show up,” she explained, giving a nod to her character on screen.

Erivo didn’t stop at the dress. She added Balenciaga’s signature oversized butterfly mask sunglasses. She also kept her jewelry minimal with diamond studs and a bracelet that added sparkle to the dark ensemble. Her stylist, Jason Bolden wrote in an Instagram post, “She’s a real witch in Custom @balenciaga by @pppiccioli.”

A few hours before the New York City premiere, Universal Pictures confirmed that Cynthia wasn’t feeling well, saying she had lost her voice, and wouldn’t be doing the usual interviews that evening. Joining her and Ariana Grande were director Jon M. Chu, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, and more.

Earlier this month at the Paris premiere photocall, she and her Wicked castmates found out they’d been nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Erivo also earned a solo nomination for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or Acapella for her song “Be Okay” from her album I Forgive You.

“It was really wonderful. We had no idea it was even possible, to be honest, so to get the nomination and to hear about it alongside our incredible cast and filmmakers was just the cherry on top of an already beautiful moment,” Erivo said.

With the movie hitting theaters this Friday, and seeing the cast together on the red carpet, makes it clear that this whole journey is finally coming to an end.

The 2026 BAFTA took place on Sunday, February 22, at London’s Royal Festival Hall. Hosted by Alan Cumming, the ceremony honoured the finest films of 2025. The event comes ahead of the Screen Actors Guild Awards on March 1 and the Oscars on March 15, placing it within a packed awards schedule.

While the ceremony recognizes achievement in film, the red carpet remains an important part worth looking forward to. The BAFTAs not only brought many celebrities from across the entertainment industry but also some members of the royal family, all arriving in their best looks yet.

Prince William and Kate Middleton made a surprise appearance, marking their first time attending the ceremony together in three years. The couple, who have always maintained a formal approach to style opted for coordinated looks, with the Princess Kate rewearing a Gucci dress she first wore in 2019.

Rihanna turned 38 on Friday, February 20, 2026, and marked the occasion with a surprise birthday dinner at Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, arranged by her partner, A$AP Rocky. While the celebration may have caught her off guard, one thing remained predictable, Rihanna never misses an opportunity to show off her fashion skills.

For a while now, Rihanna has shown a particular affinity for fur coats. She is known for consistently incorporating the textured outerwear into her wardrobe, often layering the pieces with different outfits. While fur has become something of a signature for the singer, no two appearances ever feel the same. For this birthday celebration, she stepped out in a rare vintage Gucci fur coat from Tom Ford’s Fall/Winter 1999 collection.

The vintage Gucci fur coat featured a mix of textures, with tiger-print sleeves from the shoulder down transitioning into soft, brown fur, covering the rest of the piece. She layered it over a sheer black floor-length dress and open-toe sandals. Her hair was styled in loose waves, parted down the centre.

A$AP Rocky remained faithful to his signature street-style. He wore a red-and-white checkered jacket layered over a white shirt, paired with tan trousers and black loafers. Accessories included a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses.

This month has been full of celebrations for the couple. Earlier, they celebrated Rocky’s AWG Fashion Week show, followed by a romantic night out on Valentine’s Day, and now Rihanna’s birthday topped it all off.
