If you've been following my coverage of Wicked: For Good, you'll know that my faith in the film has been waning, and my reservations were anxiously held. Now that I've experienced it in all its (questionable) glory, I have mixed emotions, but one feature has stuck with me – that stunning character design.
Amidst Cynthia Erivo's haunting vocals and Ariana Grande's weepy performance, my eyes were often drawn to the side characters and their exceptional design, from the intricate costuming to seamless SFX. (In fact, I had a vision, almost like a prophecy, of an Oscar for Best Costume Design.) There will be spoilers ahead. You have been warned.
