Cynthia Erivo, the multitalented actress and singer known for her amazing performances, is not just making waves on the stage and screen. Her press tour for the WICKED movie has brought the world’s attention to her unique and bold approach to beauty—specifically her finger nail extensions , a statement of art and culture created in collaboration with OPI.
For the WICKED movie press tour, Cynthia Erivo has partnered with the iconic nail giant OPI to create an array of bold, imaginative nail art that echo the themes of the film: magic, power and transformation. Erivo, who plays the role of Elphaba, the misunderstood witch from the beloved Broadway musical and book series, seized the opportunity to showcase her character’s complexity through bold fashion choices and her blinged out nails. Each set of nail extensions was a canvas, representing different chapters of Elphaba’s journey.
The symbolism in Erivo’s nail art has a strong connection to the character. Bold shades of emerald green, an obvious nod to Elphaba’s iconic color and her connection to the land of Oz. The use of this color was more than a mere homage; it was a way for Erivo to embody the character’s fierce resilience and the magic that radiates within her. The green nails, paired with gems evoke the sense of otherworldly power and magic that WICKED is known for.
The partnership with OPI also shown Erivo’s commitment to artistry, both as a performer and as a fashion icon. OPI is well known for pushing boundaries and setting trends just like Cynthia. Through this collaboration, Erivo’s nails became more than accessories; they became an integral part of her storytelling.
The magic of Cynthia Erivo’s nail statements lies in its ability to transcend simple cosmetic appeal and become a deeper symbol of identity, strength, and transformation. As WICKED takes over theaters worldwide, it’s clear that Cynthia Erivo’s nails are not just a fashion statement but a powerful tribute to the character she brings to life.
