The Wicked army is strong – and so is the marketing hype. We’re approaching full Wicked-mania, weeks before the film is even out in cinemas and if you’re getting excited, you might also be amongst the tribes of people planning what outfits they’re going to wear to see Wicked at the cinema.
The long-awaited film version of the blockbuster musical, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo lands on November 22 and with the world press tour and premieres in full swing, people are really counting down to the release now.

I was recently asked in a WhatsApp group about whether I’m wearing green or pink to see the film when we’re booked in to go later this month, and I was thinking: “Fine, I can commit to a jumper for some immersive fun, sure.” If you’re just catching up, the movie (and the actresses’ premiere looks so far on the tour) divide Elphaba in the green camp and Glinda in the pink camp – though real OG fans might know <a class="colorbox" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.popsugar.co.uk/fashion/%3Cbr%20/%3E%0Ahttps://www.tiktok.com/@theozvlog/video/7365965671886277931?lang=en" class="ga-track" data-ga-category="internal click" data-ga-label="

But forget about my little jumper idea, on closer inspection (of TikTok, obviously) some Wicked fans are taking their outfits to go and see the film even further, with full-blown outfit inspirations and even costumes ready to go.
And, as user Julia proved, choosing an outfit to go see Wicked in doesn’t have to come at great cost, and can just involve some imagination. To be honest, if you’re a big fan, you might already have an outfit somewhere anyway… come on, admit it.
@juliaa.vids And at the thrift #thrift #thrifted #thrifting #fashion #outfit #wicked #wickedmovie #arianagrande I will make an outfit for Elphaba next!

“I was just thinking this morning what we are all wearing to see it,” wrote one user in response to the video. And so, if you too were starting to wonder what outfit you’re going to wear to see Wicked at the cinema, and the answer wasn’t “Whatever I wore to work earlier that day”, then you’re in the right place. While of course we don’t think (money or environmentally-wise) buying an outfit just to see Wicked is at all necessary, we’ve opted for some ideas that would at least do you through the rest of party season (or, in some cases, just chilling at home).
So whether you’re inspired by Glinda or Elphaba, here’s a couple of ideas of outfits you could wear to see Wicked at the cinema.
