Playbill: How Paul Tazewell Created the Costumes for the Wicked Movies (And What Happened to Glinda's Blue Dress)

137 pattern pieces. 20,000 beads hand applied over 225 hours. 140 costume crew members working around the clock. Glinda’s glorious bubble ball gown in the film adaptation of Wicked is certainly a sight to behold.

Rendered in petal pink, with shimmering sequins, embroidery, and beadwork, the gown is the newest entrance look for Glinda, Oz’s iconic Good Witch. Worn by Ariana Grande when she first appears in the film, costume designer Paul Tazewell’s gown is the third iteration of the classic costume.
