Cynthia Erivo knows how to make a statement whether she’s dressed in green or black. As she continues to promote Wicked, her musical fantasy film with Ariana Grande, Cynthia opts for all black, which, in my opinion, is a welcome change after dressing in green for nearly a year in honor of her role as Elphaba.
Currently making the rounds on the press circuit in New York City to discuss Wicked, Erivo’s wardrobe selections continue to captivate and highlight her enigmatic charm.

Cynthia Erivo Stuns in Rokh’s 3D Floral Coat and Fur-Trimmed Dress
Cynthia Erivo recently turned heads outside The Drew Barrymore Show studios, exuding elegance in a striking all-black winter ensemble.
While black coats are often considered practical and timeless, Cynthia’s Rokh coat stands out as a masterpiece of innovation, reflecting the bold and unconventional vision of the Korean designer.
This standout piece from the Spring/Summer 2025 collection is adorned with fluffy 3D floral accents, which bring a playful yet sophisticated edge to the otherwise sleek and structured coat. Designed with peak lapels, a single front button, buttoned cuffs, and an elegant ankle-length hem, it effortlessly blends timeless tailoring with avant-garde detailing.
As a maximalist dresser, Cynthia has a penchant for incorporating different textures and elements into her outfits. While her coat is already that elaborate, she made it even more eye-catching by wearing an equally striking dress underneath.

The dress reflects Cynthia’s daring sense of style. Its see-through turtleneck bodice shows a glimpse of the actress’s cleavage. Although it’s not something I’d wear in the cold, the addition of thick black fur cuffs and what looks to be a fur skirt that falls to her calves makes the outfit seasonally appropriate.
The ensemble may be too much for some, but Cynthia’s bewitching appearance won me over.
Cynthia Erivo Elevates All-Black Look with Understated Glam and Elegant Accessories
As expected, she didn’t skimp on accessories, sporting several pairs of earrings down her helix to lend a pop of sparkle to her all-black ensemble.
In addition, she wore a gold chain necklace with a round mirror pendant charm, drawing attention to her decolletage. Erivo’s look won’t be complete without her signature long nail art, accented with statement rings.
To balance out the look and keep the focus on her ensemble, Cynthia kept her beauty look understated. She highlighted her eyes with bronze eyeshadow and fluttery eyelashes and painted her lips in two-toned ombre nude lipstick.

Thigh-High Elegance: Cynthia Erivo’s Alaia Bow-Detailed Leather Boots
Nothing elevates a winter-chic ensemble quite like the perfect pair of boots, and Cynthia’s choice of thigh-high Alaïa boots is nothing short of stunning. These sleek, over-the-knee beauties add a bold, tough-chic edge while maintaining a touch of feminine sophistication.
She wore a pair of Alaia boots made in Italy from soft leather. They have a bow accent at the almond toes and a central seam down the 25-inch shaft. Their 3.5-inch stiletto heels provide Erivo’s 5-foot height an instant boost. These boots are available for $3,250 at Mytheresa.

Cynthia Erivo Wows in Mugler’s Glittering Mini Dress and Thom Browne Coat
That same day, Erivo was spotted outside the CBS Mornings studios, dressed in another cold-weather ensemble. This time, her dress—rather than her coat—was the ensemble’s focal point.
Erivo looked enchanting in her black minidress from Mugler’s Spring 2025 collection. I love how the glittering embellishments contrast the dark fabric, creating the illusion of a romantic starry night sky.
Its structured silhouette, however, gave the ensemble a retro-contemporary flair. It has a tulip-like exaggerated hip layered over a fitted mini skirt that reminds me of the pannier ladies wore in the 18th century to accentuate their hips and give their skirts more form.
The dress’s high neck, zippered front, and extremely snug waist draw attention to Erivo’s small frame.

Although I adore her Thom Browne coat’s refinement, I wish she had taken it off to show off her minidress’s attractiveness.
Wearing the same glam and jewelry, Cynthia completed her ensemble with black tights and black patent boots with thick platforms and stiletto heels. It is evident from the red soles that they are Christian Louboutin.
