On the JJ Barnes Blog, with Elphaba and Glinda all over my social media, Wickedcore is taking the world by storm, so I decided to share top fashion tips inspired by Wicked!
Elphaba and Glinda have taken over our social feeds, thanks to the film adaptation of the smash-hit musical Wicked, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, and the Wickedcore trend is in full swing. Whether it’s just for fun or because you’re planning your outfits for screenings over the weekend, it’s time to add a touch of Oz magic to your wardrobe!
Just like Barbie had me dressed fully in pink for weeks on end, people are going mad for the long-awaited blockbuster, embracing emerald tones and splashes of pink as part of their wardrobe as searches for Wicked have increased a huge 128% in the past week.
With the help of Nick Drewe, trends expert at Wethrift, I’ll dive into some wickedly stylish fashion tips, inspired by the beloved musical, and share how you can incorporate it into your wardrobe while watching the movie this winter.
Wicked green and splashes of pink really do feel like they’re taking the world by storm as we approach the release of the film adaptation of the smash hit musical, with countless brands embracing this iconic colour duo.
In recent months, we’ve seen the film inspire everything from Stanley Cups to make-up collections, home interior designs, and even Christmas tree decorations, so it’s unsurprising that emerald green and bubblegum pinks are now making waves in people’s wardrobes too.
Typically, ‘Wickedcore’ is all about embracing theatrical drama, contrasting the good with the wicked, and showcasing a mix of moody greens and delicate pinks. Key elements of this trend include bold, dark pieces in materials like leather and lace, as well as figure-enhancing silhouettes if you want to channel the style of the green queen herself. For those who prefer the pretty-in-pink aesthetic, adding touches like coquette bows and floral patterns in shades of pink can be the perfect way to capture Glinda’s whimsical nature.

Top Fashion Tips Inspired By Wicked
Elphaba
Emerald Green
Elphaba’s style is a captivating blend of confidence, strength, and a touch of rebellious edge. To channel this iconic character, your wardrobe should reflect her dark and mysterious allure.
From deep forest green to shimmering emerald, this color is synonymous with Elphaba. Incorporate it into your outfits through dresses, tops, pants, or accessories. A sparkling emerald green dress, for instance, can exude both elegance and a touch of darkness.
Black and gray are the perfect companions to emerald. A monochromatic outfit in these colors can create a sleek and sophisticated look. A black leather jacket paired with gray skinny jeans and a simple black top is a classic Elphaba-inspired ensemble.
Leather And Lace
While emerald green is undeniably the signature hue of the Wickedcore trend, don’t limit yourself to a single color. This winter, it’s all about texture, layers, and a touch of rebellious edge.
Incorporate grungy leather materials and delicate lace into your outfits. A leather jacket paired with a lace-embroidered top creates a striking contrast that embodies the essence of Wickedcore. Opt for structured pieces that exude confidence and power. A tailored blazer or a well-fitted corset can elevate your look and add a touch of sophistication.
Layering is a key component of the Wickedcore aesthetic. Experiment with different textures and lengths to create dynamic and visually interesting outfits. A sheer lace blouse layered over a solid-colored top, for example, can add depth and dimension.
Silver Accessories
To complete your Wickedcore ensemble, consider the power of silver accessories. Silver jewelry complements the rich green tones of the trend, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
Silver rings can add a touch of glamour to your hands. A simple silver band or a ring with an emerald stone can complement your outfit perfectly. A bold silver necklace can be the focal point of your outfit. Opt for a chunky chain, a pendant with an emerald stone, or a delicate layered necklace.
From oversized hoops to dainty studs, silver earrings can elevate your look. Consider mismatched earrings for an edgy touch. Stackable silver bangles can add a touch of bohemian flair to your wrist. Mix and match different styles and widths to create a unique look.
Pointy Heels
Take a cue from Cynthia Erivo’s stunning red carpet appearances and incorporate a pair of pointy heels into your Wickedcore wardrobe. Pointy heels add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any outfit.
A pair of emerald green pointed-toe heels can complement your Wicked Witch aesthetic perfectly. Opt for a suede or velvet material for a luxurious touch.
A pair of black pointed-toe heels is a timeless classic that can be paired with a variety of outfits. Look for a pair with a unique detail, such as a metallic accent or a chunky heel. For a more rebellious look, consider a pair of pointed-toe boots with a chunky heel or a lug sole.
Glinda
Pastel Colours
If you prefer a more delicate and feminine approach to Wickedcore, channel the ethereal beauty of Glinda the Good Witch. Her pastel palette and romantic style offer a softer alternative to Elphaba’s darker aesthetic.
Choose flowy, feminine silhouettes that flatter your figure. A flowing maxi dress or a romantic blouse can create a dreamy and ethereal look. Embrace soft hues of pink, blue, and lavender to capture Glinda’s ethereal charm. A pastel pink coat or a lavender dress can be the perfect foundation for your outfit.
Incorporate ruffles, lace, and other feminine details into your wardrobe. A ruffled blouse or a lace skirt can add a touch of sweetness to your look.
Playful Style
Glinda’s playful, whimsical nature is reflected in her wardrobe. To channel her style, incorporate flirty skirts, floral patterns, and ballet flats into your Wickedcore looks.
Incorporate delicate details like lace, ruffles, and bows into your outfits. A lace collar or a ruffled skirt can add a touch of femininity.
A tulle skirt or a pleated skirt can add a touch of romance and femininity to your outfit. Pair it with a simple sweater or a tailored blazer for a balanced look. Floral patterns are a signature element of Glinda’s style. A floral dress or a floral blouse can add a touch of whimsy to your wardrobe.
Ballet flats are the perfect footwear choice for a Glinda-inspired look. Opt for a pair in a pastel color or with a delicate bow.
Statement Pieces
To truly embody Glinda’s charm and capture the “popular” aesthetic this winter, consider incorporating statement pieces into your wardrobe. These eye-catching items can be mixed and matched to create unique and stylish outfits.
A bold, colorful coat can be the centerpiece of your winter wardrobe. Consider a vibrant pink or a classic camel color. A large, cozy scarf can add a touch of elegance and warmth to your outfit. Choose a scarf with a unique pattern or texture to make a statement.
A vibrant, patterned skirt, such as a floral or plaid design, can instantly elevate your look. Pair it with a simple sweater or a tucked-in blouse for a balanced ensemble. A chunky knit jumper in a soft, pastel color is both stylish and comfortable. Layer it over a collared shirt or a simple dress for a preppy look.
Sparkly Accessories
To truly embody Glinda’s magical and whimsical style, don’t forget to add a touch of sparkle with your accessories. This will complete your Wickedcore look and make you shine.
Opt for delicate, sparkling jewelry in silver or gold tones. Consider dainty necklaces with crystal pendants, sparkling earrings, or a bracelet adorned with tiny gemstones. Add a touch of glamour to your hairstyle with a sparkly headband or hair clip. This is a perfect way to elevate your look and add a touch of whimsy.
A clutch or handbag with a metallic finish or sparkling details can complete your look.
