Spoilers ahead for Wicked.
The chronically online know that Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo can’t stop cryingon their press tour. But long before sharing their stories and tears with the world, one specific fashion moment moved Grande while filming, according to Paul Tazewell, the film’s costume designer: when she first came to the set in the iconic bubble dress.
“Ariana [was] getting emotional because it was the first time she was able to see herself as the iconic Glinda,” he tells Bustle. “I was definitely overcome emotionally. ... If they see themselves as that character, I’ve done my job.” The bubble dress — among other recognizable looks in the upcoming film — carries a multitude of histories.
