19th November 2025 – (New York) Michelle Yeoh dominated the red carpet at the New York premiere of Wicked For Good, turning heads with a striking teal off‑shoulder ball gown that dramatically pushed the boundaries of red‑carpet fashion. The Oscar winner’s sculptural, voluminous silhouette drew relentless camera attention, her commanding poise and innate elegance ensuring the bold look read as couture rather than costume.
The star‑studded event, held on 17th November U.S. time, showcased the principal cast led by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, joined by Jeff Goldblum and Yeoh. Erivo arrived in a sleek all‑black floor‑length gown paired with oversized butterfly‑shaped sunglasses, yet even that statement failed to outshine Yeoh’s audacious ensemble. Grande appeared ultra‑slender in a minimalist look, complementing the film’s high‑gloss Hollywood rollout.
Yeoh’s New York appearance followed a headline‑grabbing turn at the film’s Singapore premiere, where she wore a much‑discussed “tripe dress”, sparking lively debate among fans and fashion watchers. The latest look reaffirmed her willingness to experiment at the edge of red‑carpet convention, with stylists once again crafting a moment that made her the undisputed focal point of the evening.
Wicked For Good, the follow‑up to the blockbuster original, opens worldwide, including in Hong Kong, on 20 November, with anticipation high for the fantasy epic’s return to cinemas.
