The costars and friends continued to pay homage to Glinda and Elphaba in themed looks at the Nov. 9 event

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are continuing the stylish journey that is the Wicked press tour.

On Saturday, Nov. 9, the actresses attended the Los Angeles premiere of the Jon M. Chu-directed movie musical, which is currently being promoted on the “Journey Through Oz” tour.

To no one’s surprise, Erivo, 37, and Grande, 31, put on quite a fashion show with their striking looks which, like many of their past Wicked red carpet ensembles, paid homage to their respective characters, Elphaba and Glinda.

Grande, who was styled by Mimi Cuttrell, wore a custom Thom Browne pink-and-white gingham dress with a strapless ball gown silhouette, paired with a matching bolero jacket and gloves, as well as glittery silver heels. She styled her hair in a classic updo with a bow.

Erivo, meanwhile, made a bold statement in a custom green vinyl dress by Louis Vuitton, topped with a dramatic fringed silk stole. The actress, who was styled by Jason Bolden, elevated her look with a collection of stunning jewelry pieces from Roberto Coin — including an 18K white gold diamond and emerald collar necklace from the brand’s Haute Couture Collection worth a staggering $750,000.

The cast of Wicked kicked off the junket at the film’s premiere in Sydney on Nov. 3.

Grande couldn’t be more Glinda-fied in her baby pink Vivienne Westwood gown, which featured puff sleeves and silver embellishments throughout, giving it a similar look to the costume worn by actress Billie Burke who portrayed the Good Witch in the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz. She also wore more than 100 carats of diamond jewelry custom-made by Lorraine Schwartz.

Erivo slightly departed from Elphaba’s signature green in a custom Louis Vuitton black gown made with a structured skirt that flared out at her hips. But, she incorporated a hint of emerald with her gemstone-covered nails.

The duo even channeled their Oz wardrobes at WSJ. Magazine’s2024 Innovator Awards on Oct. 29 — but with a slight twist.

Grande surprisingly ditched the pink and wore a white Vivienne Westwood gown and Swarovski bling (but she still looked like a walking fashion fairytale), while Erivo wore a lime green Erdem design.

Fans may have to wait until Nov. 22 to see Erivo and Grande bring the famous witches to life on the big screen, but PEOPLE got an exclusive look inside the elaborate production with new details from the cast and creators themselves.
