It wasn’t just another awards show moment. Instead, it was a spectacle. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s performance at the 97th Academy Awards was breathtaking. Their voices, full of emotion, brought their Wicked characters to life. As a result, the audience was spellbound.
A Performance That Gave the Oscars Its Sparkle
The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles buzzed with excitement. Then, the first notes of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” played. Instantly, silence fell over the room as Ariana Grande, in a ruby-red gown, began to sing. Her soft, heartfelt delivery carried deep longing. Without a doubt, the song’s magic was alive again.
A shift in atmosphere signaled the next moment. Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo, in a white gown with green details, stepped into the spotlight. She performed “Home” from The Wiz, and her deep, soulful voice soared. Consequently, many, including celebrities, were visibly moved.
For the final act, the energy intensified. As Wicked’s anthem “Defying Gravity” began, the two stars joined forces. Their chemistry was undeniable. More than just a performance, they lived the moment. Ultimately, when Erivo hit the high note, the crowd erupted in applause.
Fashion That Told a Story
The night wasn’t just about music. In addition, it was also a visual feast. Grande’s gown paid tribute to The Wizard of Oz, while Erivo’s green-hued dress honored Elphaba. These weren’t just outfits; instead, they blended their film roles with Oscars glamour.
Similarly, beauty choices also reflected their characters. Grande’s soft curls and glowing makeup mirrored Glinda’s charm. On the other hand, Erivo’s bold green eyeliner added an edge, while emerald jewels sparkled against her skin.
More Than Just a Performance—A Cultural Moment
This performance was more than flawless. Not only did it celebrate musical theater in mainstream culture, but it also highlighted diversity in Hollywood. Furthermore, it offered a glimpse into one of the decade’s biggest films.
Wicked is about breaking barriers and being true to yourself. Watching two powerhouse artists bring that message to the Oscars felt inspiring. Indeed, it was a tribute to dreamers everywhere.
As social media lit up, fans and critics agreed: this was no ordinary performance. Instead, it was a moment of magic.
With their final bows, one thing became clear—Erivo and Grande’s journey to Oz had just begun. Without a doubt, the world eagerly awaits the next chapter on the yellow brick road.
