The 2025 Oscars were graced by none other than Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who took to the stage for a mesmerizing medley of tunes from “The Wizard of Oz.” With some classic hits, including “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Defying Gravity,” they proved they are not just actresses but also highly talented performers. While most people are still debating whether the classic is better than the remake, these two made a compelling case for both sides with their incredible voices and charm.
Ditching their trademark colors, Grande opted for a sparkling red Schiaparelli dress that couldn’t have been more fitting for an Oscars showstopper, while Erivo wowed everyone in a stunning white gown complete with floral appliques. With the film “Wicked” picking up ten Academy Award nominations, including two for them—best actress for Erivo and best supporting actress for Grande—it’s clear they’ve not only mastered their roles but also stolen the spotlight this awards season. Guess you could say they’re both living their best lives!
In the midst of all the glam and glitz, Grande celebrated her exciting milestone—her very first Oscar nomination—alongside her boyfriend, Ethan Slater. They even shared a sweet moment captured in a throwback photo where she dressed as Dorothy from the original film. Talk about coming full circle! It’s not every day you get to see your dreams turn into reality—and with that kind of recognition, they might just be ready to follow the yellow brick road straight to an acceptance speech.
So, if you’re feeling like the Oscars are just another excuse to dress up and eat popcorn, think again! Grande and Erivo proved magic does happen, and it’s not just for the silver screen. This duo is setting the tone for what an award-winning performance should look like—sparkly dresses, stunning vocals, and a healthy dose of heartwarming moments. Now, who’s ready to grab a ticket to Oz?
