Spellbinding Wicked Inspired Styles

If you haven’t heard the good news already, Wicked 2 will be flying into theatres this November, launching us once more into the dazzling world of OZ.

Whether you’re a good witch or a bad witch, the best way to celebrate this fabulous occasion is to give your winter wardrobe an Oz-tastic style makeover!

From Glinda’s bubblegum pink party dresses to Elphaba’s lace gowns and leather boots, here are some spellbinding wicked inspired outfits that’ll have you dancing through the season.

Part of what makes the Wicked characters so gripping, is that they each have distinct styles that showcase their unique personalities. Made up of full-skirted gowns that swish whenever she moves, buckled ankle boots and, of course, the infamous hat, Elphaba’s signature style is all about power.

Though it might seem like a challenge to bring Elphaba’s witchy aesthetic into the modern day, with the right pieces you can easily create a gravity defying ensemble.

Whilst she never strays from her trademark shade of black, every piece Elphaba wears has unique details that make it stand out – think ruffles, buttons, silver embroidery, and mutton chop sleeves.

Choose your own black dress, complete with some of these statement details and you’ve got the foundation to a showstopping Elphaba outfit.

Leather boots are essential for recreating Elphaba’s look. These chunky shoes give her look an extra dose of defiance. We love the laces, silver studs, and buckle details that make her footwear so extraordinary. Pick a pair of knee-high western boots and you’ll make an impact with every step.

Of course, you can’t have an Elphaba outfit without adding some green accents to celebrate her gorgeous green pallor. Add a longline green coat and some emerald accessories, and you’ve got an outfit fit for a witch of OZ.

Finally, we don’t recommend wearing a full witch’s hat to the cinema (your fellow viewers might not appreciate it), but you could add a velvet bakerboy or a wool fedora to complete the look.

Each of Glinda’s outfits was inspired by the fantastical 1939 bubble dress worn by the original good witch, but they’ve been given a glamorous modern twist to showcase the character’s impeccable sense of style.

The ensembles Glinda flaunts at Shiz university are a blend of chic collegiate fashion and classic Hollywood glamour, featuring a mix of modern and vintage details – think padded shoulders and pleated skirts mixed with pastel colour palettes.

To recreate this Wicked inspired outfit, pick a vintage style blazer in your favourite shade of pink and pair it with a patterned skirt. Finish off the look with pastel mary janes and a matching beret. 

The good witch’s occasion looks are all about the sparkle. Choose a luxurious velour dress that shimmers under the spotlight. Give your look some glitz with sparkling silver jewellery and slip into some jacquard heels, and you’ll turn heads wherever you go.

Now you know just what to wear for a “swankified” Wicked look whether you’re going all out for the premiere or simply bringing a touch of magic into the everyday. All that’s left to do is browse the Joe Browns collection of Wicked-inspired styles and get ready to step into a world of spellbinding fashion.
