Despite the industry often leaning towards trends and safe choices, Erivo shines as a fearless innovator. Since she turned heads with her eye-catching looks during the Wicked press tour, Cynthia Erivo has firmly established herself as a staple on best-dressed lists and a daring trendsetter in red carpet fashion. She shuns the ordinary and the predictable, viewing fashion as a vibrant form of storytelling that showcases her boldness and creativity. Erivo’s wardrobe is a playground of imagination, featuring a mix of unexpected textures, striking colors, and unique silhouettes that radiate confidence.
Case in point: At the GLAAD Media Awards in Beverly Hills, where Cynthia Erivo was recognized with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award for championing LGBTQ+ representation, it wasn’t just her advocacy that stood out — it was her choice of accessory. Eschewing the typical red carpet clutch, Erivo carried a full-sized Lady Dior handbag, a rarity in itself. The bag, part of Dior’s exclusive Lady Art series, was a limited-edition creation that transforms the iconic design into a canvas for contemporary artists, blending fashion with fine art in a bold, unexpected statement.
Cynthia Erivo has long proven her dedication to detail and fashion as art. From her intricately embroidered Thom Browne look at the 2024 Met Gala to the rare vintage Givenchy gown by Alexander McQueen she wore to the SAG Awards, each outfit tells a story. Now, with the addition of a limited-edition Lady Dior bag designed by Mickalene Thomas, Erivo continues to build a wardrobe of wearable masterpieces — keeping us captivated and curious about what she’ll unveil next.
