Best actress nominee Cynthia Erivo channeled Elphaba from "Wicked" in a stunning, deep emerald gown on the Oscars red carpet.

Erivo is something of an Oscars veteran at this point. The near-EGOT winner has two more nominations under her belt and has appeared on the carpet several times over the past few years. One of her standout looks came in 2024, when she kicked off the Wicked press tour early on the red carpet in an emerald-green leather gown by Louis Vuitton.

In the decades since though, only nine other Black actresses have won an Oscar, with only one, Halle Berry, winning for best actress in 2002 for her role in Monster's Ball. Erivo became only one of 13 Black women to be nominated for best actress when she was nominated for her role in 2019's Harriet.
