Ariana Grande Found the Most Perfect Glinda-Inspired Heels for the ‘Wicked’ Australian Premiere
More from Footwear News
Ariana Grande has, for the most part, stuck to white heels for the “Wicked” press tour. But during a recent appearance on Nov. 5 in Sydney, Australia, Grande posed for a photocall for the Australian premiere of her upcoming movie “Wicked” wearing a pair of classic Manolo Blahnik pumps that were befitting of her Glinda character.
The actress wore a pair of the brand’s Terka heels. The pumps feature a gorgeous and delicate satin bow detail were the perfect addition to her whimsical look. Made with white and cream detailing, the upper region of the shoe features a satin and silk composition in the upper, while the sole is made of calf leather.
The silk bow detail and ruched design is the centerpiece of the shoe’s design, with a slender, flared heel ranging between 2-to-3 inches in height completes the silhouette. Pricing for a pair runs a little over $900. Rounding out her outfit was with a custom two-piece set from Bode that included a halter top with three light pink bows, and a high-waisted skirt with a puffed out design.
Co-star Cynthia Ervio was spotted alongside the “Dangerous Woman” singer in a Marc Jacobs piece from the label’s fall 2011 ready-to-wear collection. This included a black and emerald green blouse and a black pencil skirt as a compliment. Completing the look were emphasized platform Kiki boots which famously feature buckles dispersed throughout. The actual platform height itself is estimated to be over 4 inches in height, along with the dramatic, chunky block heel.
Last week, the two hosted a special cast and filmmakers screening at New York City’s DGA Theater that included the original and current Broadway casts of the show. For the event, both actresses chose to wear pumps, with Grande wearing a custom pair of the Gianvito 105 shoe from the Italian brand Gianvito Ross that consisted of a pointed toe-design, a closed back for security and a stiletto heel that ranged roughly 4 inches in height. Meanwhile, Ervio fashioned a pair of satiny emerald pumps that also featured a dramatic pointed-toe, a closed back and a stiletto heel ranging between 4-to-5 inches in height.
“Wicked” centers around a young woman named Elphaba forges an unlikely but profound friendship with Glinda, a student with an unflinching desire for popularity. Following an encounter with the Wizard of Oz, their relationship soon reaches a crossroad as their lives begin to take very different paths.
The film is due out on Nov. 22.
