Cynthia Erivo knows how to make an entrance, and she did just that at the 2025 BAFTAs tonight. In a white lace-embroidered Louis Vuitton gown, the Wicked star delivered a sculptural look that solidified her reputation for bold, red-carpet winning fashion. With its sharp architectural design, the dress was a statement that held space (get it?) from head to toe.
While Erivo delivered a series of Elphaba-green looks during the Wicked press tour, the British actor has shifted towards a more monochrome colour palette during awards season—from the black-and-white floral gown she wore at the Golden Globes (also by Louis Vuitton) to the black sequined Armani Privè gown she wore at the Critics Choice Awards.
Nominated for Best Actress at this year’s BAFTAs, Erivo’s transition from Broadway to film has been the stuff of legends—with three Oscars nominations under her belt, she’s solidified her place among Hollywood’s elite. As she gears up to co-host Vogue’s Fashion & Film party, it’s clear that Erivo is an unstoppable force both on screen and off.
