Cynthia Erivo's 2024 Oscars Manicure is So 'Wicked'-Coded

Cynthia Erivo, who is set to play Elphaba in a remake of Wicked, let her character inspire her all-green look at the 2024 Academy Awards. Taking note from stars like Zendaya and Margot Robbie, Erivo truly dressed the part, donning an emerald-green dress accented by a funky green manicure.

The look is a high-glitz French tip, It features a sheer nude base with a velvet, emerald green polish. The green is swept across her thumb through ring singers, with some hands featuring a fully opaque tip while others feature an emerald swoop. The tips are accented by a bevy of silver and red jewels. Her pinkies are fully bejeweled, with a mosaic of black, silver, and pink gems.

The pink on her pinkies is a subtle nod to Wicked costar Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda the Good Witch in the upcoming film. Grande sported her own Wicked-coded look, dazzling in a baby pink column dress by Giambattista Valli Haute Couture that featured a matching cape, dramatic train, and enormous puffy sleeves. 

Erivo's over-the-top manicure is the perfect complement to her jewel-toned leather Louis Vuitton gown. Although it has voluminous shoulders that cascade into a reptilian-esque train, the gown has a smooth and sleek finish and fitted bodice. So, the nails (and Erivo's fabulous jewelry) stand out beautifully against the natural texture of her dress. It's a look that would make even Elphaba proud.
