Cynthia Erivo Slays in Vintage Givenchy at SAG Awards
Cynthia Erivo turned heads at the 2025 SAG Awards, serving fierce looks that really put the “Wicked” in “wickedly chic!” The talented actress, nominated for her role as Elphaba in the highly anticipated film adaptation of “Wicked,” pulled off a killer fashion moment in a dazzling silver gown straight from Givenchy’s Fall/Winter 1997 collection, originally strutted by model Debra Shaw. Who says vintage can’t be fabulous? The dress, designed by the late legendary Alexander McQueen, featured breathtaking details like fringe on the collar and dramatic bell sleeves—talk about a runway relaunch!
Erivo topped off her stunning ensemble with silver heels for that envy-inducing monochrome look and exquisite pieces from Bucherer Fine Jewellery, including a jaw-dropping octagonal-cut emerald ring that would make any red carpet feel a little less green with envy. And, let’s not forget her nail game—her “Elphaba-coded” manicure came complete with multiple gemstones, adding a splash of bling to her already eye-catching outfit.
This fashion moment is just one of many for Erivo this awards season. Fresh off the press tour for “Wicked,” she’s been killing it with each appearance. Just last month at the NAACP Image Awards, she ditched the gowns for a tailored Dolce & Gabbana pinstripe suit that screamed empowered elegance. And before that, she wowed at the 2025 BAFTA Awards in a figure-hugging white Louis Vuitton gown adorned with floral lace—a dreamy representation of both modern and classic chic.
If you think that’s impressive, wait until you hear about her look at the Critics Choice Awards. Erivo rocked an audacious Armani Privé black gown with a plunging neckline and beaded embellishments, paired with simply styled jewelry to let her vibrant pale blue manicure pop. And at the Golden Globes? A custom black halter gown with sequined flowers that proved she’s mastering the art of the statement piece.
In an interview with E!, Erivo revealed her secret to keeping everyone guessing about her style: a dynamic mix primarily featuring black dresses, making sure her elegant looks fuse with hints of her character’s signature green. With each event, she showcases not just her talent but her bold fashion aesthetic, clearly establishing herself as a red carpet style icon for 2025 and beyond!
