Dressing up to see Wicked? Here are our recommendations

Celebrating the release of the new Wicked movie, fans are going to the theater dressed as their favorite characters. Here are our suggestions for wigs if you’re planning on cosplaying or just adding a little wicked flair to your look.

Glinda

Ariana Grande’s Glinda wears golden blonde locks with a side part. She’s seen with her hair both down and pulled back. For this reason, our recommended pick for this look is our Bianca wig. Her color and hair part match Glinda’s well and her lace front allows for a realistic hairline even when the hair is pulled back. Our other recommendations are Irina and Ines if you prefer a yellow or platinum blonde color instead.

Elphaba

Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba wears her long black hair in waist-length microbraids. Although we don’t have this exact look, here are our suggestions for long black wigs that can play the part. Mabel is our top pick for this look as her lace top allows you to change her parting line in any direction and her length just about matches Elphaba’s. Meanwhile, the lacefront allows you to pull back your hair while maintaining a realistic hairline. Our other recommendations are Melody, Myla, and Catherine if you prefer straight hair, and Megan if you prefer shorter hair.

Pretty in Pink!

If you’re not planning on going as a specific character, you can wear a pink wig as the color features prominently in the film. Glinda’s favorite color, pink can be used to represent your support for her character. Or if you’re fans of both leading ladies, we suggest pairing a pink wig with green clothing. Wigs we recommend include Kimber, Jessica, and Kaitlyn if you love long pink hair. If you prefer short hair or bobs, we suggest going with Kate, Katy, or Karter.

Glam in Green

If you’re a fan of Elphaba, you can show your support with the color green. And just like we suggested doing with pink wigs, you can pair your green wig with pink clothes if you’re a fan of both leading ladies. For this look we recommend our deep emerald green Polaris wig. This style is a low-maintenance wavy bob with bangs.

Madame Morrible

Michelle Yeoh’s Madam Morrible dons a wavy silver white updo. For this look we recommend our Orla wig if you prefer wavy hair or our Odella wig if you prefer to style your own curls. As with the rest of the wigs on this list, Odella is heat resistant and can be restyled using hot tools.

The Wizard of Oz

Jeff Goldblum’s Wizard of Oz wears salt and pepper hair, neatly coiffed with waves like Madame Morrible’s. Both of our recommendations for the headmistress can be used for the Wizard as well. However, if you prefer to keep the salt and pepper coloring we recommend going with Ororo, Opal, or Maya. These silver grey wigs with dark roots will work well for a gender-bent Wizard of Oz look.
