Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo made a glamorous red carpet return at the New York City premiere of Wicked: For Good on Monday.
Grande, 32, and Erivo, 38 — who star as Glinda and Elphaba — wowed in striking monochrome looks at the event, just a few days after Grande was ambushed by a fan at the Singapore premiere of the movie.
The singer and actress stunned in a dramatic bustier ballgown, featuring a stark black bodice and a voluminous skirt of pale tulle.
Grande — whose crazed fan was sentenced to nine days in jail on Monday — accessorized with a black hair bow and delicate makeup.
The star’s boyfriend Ethan Slater, 33, who plays Boq in the film, was also present, but the two did not appear to pose together on the red carpet outside of group shots, amid recent rumors of a split.
Grande and Erivo — whose recent red carpet exchange was branded ‘annoying’ by fans — put on a united front as they held hands while posing together.
