Press tour method dressing has fast become our favourite celebrity sport. The sartorial homage stars pay to their onscreen alter egos has garnered increasing attention in recent years.
For her Barbie press tour, Margot Robbie regularly adapted iconic looks from the doll, the results of which only fuelled the hype for the film’s release. We’ve seen the approach to red carpet style also perfectly executed by the likes of Zendaya’s Challengers and Jenna Ortega’s Beetlejuice.
Now, all eyes are on the year’s biggest film release: Wicked.

The world premiere may have just played out in Sydney, but Ariana and Cynthia have been method dressing to perfection for some time as they embody their characters, Elphaba and Glinda.
