Ready for one of the most iconic villain origin stories to hit the big screen? The Wicked movie is officially on the way.
The Tony-winning Broadway musical — a Wizard of Oz prequel based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West — is finally heading to theaters next holiday season. Wicked is being adapted for not one, but two major motion pictures under Universal, and more and more confirmed details about the films are slowly trickling in.
Wicked first debuted on Broadway in 2003, where Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel originated the roles of Glinda and Elphaba. The interconnected story of the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West takes place long before Dorothy drops into the wonderful land of Oz. In fact, the prequel details the unlikely friendship between the two then-aspiring witches in their youth before they became enemies, changing the fate of their lives, and Oz, for good.
In case you haven’t heard by now, mega popstar Ariana Grande and Tony-winner Cynthia Erivo will lead the upcoming films as witches Glinda and Elphaba, respectively, and will be directed by Jon M. Chu of Crazy Rich Asians and In The Heights fame.
So many developments have occurred since the Wicked movie musical adaptation was first announced, so we’ve gathered everything you need to know into one guide: from the buzzy cast (including Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero) to adaptation differences and song teasers (from “Defying Gravity” to ”For Good” and “Popular”) to the (multiple) release date changes to the special Super Bowl 2024 sneak peek at the film. Pro tip: Click an arrowed topic below to head straight there.
The initial news of Universal’s Wicked movie adaptation broke in 2016, with its original theatrical release set for December 20, 2019. Evidently, there have since been delays that pushed the film to its current 2024 date. But on April 26, 2022, Chu shared news that clarified the reason behind the long wait.
“As we prepared the production over the last year, it became impossible to wrestle the story of Wicked into a single film without doing some real damage to it,” he wrote in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter).
“As we tried to cut songs or trim characters, those decisions began to feel like fatal compromises to the source material that has entertained us all for so many years. We decided to give ourselves a bigger canvas and make not just one Wicked movie but two! With more space, we can tell the story of Wicked as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth and surprise to the journeys for these beloved characters.” Chu’s two-part announcement delighted some fans while downright annoying others.
On February 11, 2024, the day the first trailer dropped, Wicked producer Marc Platt defended the decision to split up the movies to Vanity Fair. “We didn’t want to end up making one four-hour movie and then cutting out songs. We want to satisfy the fans of the musical,” said Platt. “Film allows you to create a place and a time — a university like Shiz, an extraordinary Emerald City governor’s mansion. There’s so much more to explore.”
On December 7, 2022, Grande, Erivo, and Chu confirmed filming on the movie adaptations had begun via several Instagram Stories posts. In one post, the director shared a Wicked-themed drawing from his daughter “to commemorate the first day of shooting.”
Production temporarily shut down amid the SAG-AFTRA strike this past July. At the time, Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz confirmed to Variety that there were only 10 days left to complete filming parts one and two. Chu also shared an update during the strike, assuring fans that the “release date shouldn’t be affected” on X: “Not done yet. Just paused until the strike is over and we can finish the last pieces of the movie. We were only a few days away from being done so we were SO close. It’s been very painful to put a halt to it all but we will be back! And we will finish properly strong when the time is right.”

Hey fashion lovers! If you’re on the lookout for fresh styles this fall, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on Calvin Klein. The iconic brand is back with another exciting campaign, and this time it features none other than K-pop sensation NewJeans! That’s right, all five members—Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein—are starring in Calvin Klein’s Fall 2024 campaign, and it’s everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Let’s dive into the details of this stylish collaboration!
For their very first Calvin Klein shoot, NewJeans modeled pieces from the Fall 2024 collection, showcasing a blend of classic Calvin Klein aesthetics with their own youthful flair. The girls rocked an array of stylish pieces, including classic CK logo tees, denim jackets, leather coats, button-up shirts, hoodies, and even hats. Talk about a fashion statement!
In a press release, NewJeans expressed their excitement, saying, “We are so excited to be starring in a Calvin Klein campaign. It was a natural fit to partner with a brand rooted in confidence and with their team on a campaign that brought our personalities into focus, all while having fun wearing the latest seasonal styles.” Their enthusiasm is contagious, and you can really see how much fun they had during the shoot!
Calvin Klein has done an amazing job of capturing the essence of NewJeans in this campaign. The brand noted that “NewJeans brings their fresh, youthful energy to iconic CK classics, embodying the campaign’s theme of day to evening—finding beauty in simplicity.” This theme resonates perfectly with their music and style, making the collaboration feel like a match made in fashion heaven.
This isn’t NewJeans’ first encounter with Calvin Klein. Back in June, the members showcased custom denim looks from Calvin Klein for their Bunnies Camp 2024 fan meeting at the famous Tokyo Dome stadium. These custom pieces were adorned with the CK monogram and sparkling crystals, proving that NewJeans knows how to shine!
Calvin Klein has been on a roll with its campaigns lately. Just last month, they unveiled campaigns featuring SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu, and earlier this month, ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo starred in another campaign featuring designs from both the Fall 2024 menswear collection and the new line of elevated essentials, Calvin Klein Studios. It’s clear that the brand is tapping into the vibrant energy of K-pop and its stars to reach a broader audience.
NewJeans isn’t just making waves with Calvin Klein; they’re also making a significant impact in the fashion world on their own. Just last week, Hanni made headlines by traveling from Seoul to Italy for Milan Fashion Week as a brand ambassador for both Gucci and Gucci Beauty. Talk about a fashion jetsetter! Even though she missed New York Fashion Week, her presence was felt at UGG’s pop-up event celebrating her billboard campaign for the shoe brand.
Meanwhile, Danielle attended the grand opening of Celine’s new store in Osaka, Japan, as a brand ambassador, proving that the members of NewJeans are not just K-pop stars but also influential figures in the fashion industry. Their ability to seamlessly transition between music and fashion makes them a force to be reckoned with.
Calvin Klein has always been synonymous with clean lines, minimalism, and a sense of timelessness. The brand’s aesthetic aligns perfectly with NewJeans’ youthful and fresh vibe, making their partnership feel organic. Calvin Klein also has a rich history of working with influential figures in the entertainment industry, and NewJeans is no exception.
The essence of Calvin Klein is rooted in confidence and self-expression, which is perfectly echoed in NewJeans’ music and style. This collaboration allows both the brand and the K-pop group to showcase their unique identities while appealing to a global audience. It’s all about celebrating individuality, and both Calvin Klein and NewJeans do just that!
As we look ahead to the Fall 2024 collection, it’s clear that the collaboration between Calvin Klein and NewJeans will have a lasting impact on both the fashion industry and their respective fan bases. The campaign is not just about selling clothes; it’s about creating a cultural moment that resonates with fans around the world.
By collaborating with NewJeans, Calvin Klein is tapping into the Gen Z market, which is crucial for the brand’s future growth. K-pop has a massive following, and NewJeans’ influence is only growing. This campaign is a clever way to engage younger consumers who are looking for brands that resonate with their values and lifestyles.
The Calvin Klein Fall 2024 campaign featuring NewJeans is a celebration of style, confidence, and youthful energy. With their eye-catching pieces and the brand’s timeless aesthetic, this collaboration is bound to turn heads and inspire fashion lovers everywhere.

Step into Villa Zegna, and you might momentarily forget you’re in New York City. Located within the Upper East Side’s Salon 94 gallery, this new experiential retail space transports visitors to Oasi Zegna, the former home of founder Ermenegildo Zegna in the Italian Alps, which now houses the brand’s wool mill and a forest originally planted by Ermenegildo himself.
However, as you spend more time there, the New York influences start to emerge. This space pays tribute to the founder’s first trip to the city in 1938. In the entryway, shelves display Ermenegildo’s original luggage from his New York journey, while the banquet hall features dishes and menu designs inspired by his gala dinner with prominent American tailors that same year. Other elements evoke a more European feel; for instance, the elevator is transformed into his Italian office, complete with his original notebooks. The second floor is filled with the earthy scent of moss, sourced from the actual Oasi Zegna forest. Overall, the space narrates the brand’s New York story, framed within its Italian origins.
The experience aims to immerse guests in the Zegna universe. “We’re here to share a chapter of the story that unfolds in New York,” says Edoardo Zegna, the chief marketing, digital, and sustainability officer, and one of CEO Gildo Zegna’s sons. “My goal is to enhance the brand’s desirability, and storytelling is my primary approach.”
On the next floor, Zegna clients can indulge in luxury. Beyond a rack of clothing—including a jacket from the original collection—guests enter a sort of showroom. Everything is available for purchase, with items exclusive to Villa Zegna and customizable to each client’s measurements.

The front rows are buzzing with energy, and you know what they say: the more daring the outfits, the more buzz you create! One star who clearly understands this unspoken rule is Rosalia, who graced the city with a stylish appearance that turned heads and made a statement. Let’s break down her unforgettable look and what it means for Fashion Week!
Rosalia made a splash at Fashion Week in a striking red-and-white knitted dress that had everyone talking. The dress features the cheeky slogan: “The People Want More.” Now, that’s a message that resonates, especially in the world of fashion! With its playful nod to a tennis outfit, this ensemble perfectly captures the spirit of both sport and style.
So what exactly was Rosalia trying to convey with her bold choice? On the surface, the dress seems to reference the extravagance and maximalism of Fashion Week itself. With bold designs, elaborate sets, and a star-studded lineup of A-list attendees, it’s easy to see how the hunger for more can become a theme.
Was she subtly critiquing the never-ending desire for excess in fashion? Or was it simply a stylish choice with a catchy slogan? Either way, it gets people talking—and that’s what Fashion Week is all about!
Let’s unpack this a bit. The phrase “The People Want More” isn’t just a catchy slogan; it’s a reflection of our society’s insatiable appetite for more—more styles, more trends, more everything! Rosalía’s choice to wear this message at Fashion Week is particularly poignant. In an industry known for its fast-paced trends and quick turnarounds, it serves as a reminder to appreciate the artistry and creativity that go into each collection.
And let’s not forget that iconic figures like Britney Spears have sung about wanting more, hinting at a cultural craving that transcends fashion. It’s a sentiment that resonates with fans and fashionistas alike. Rosalía’s dress is a clever nod to this ongoing dialogue about desire and fulfillment in our lives. Are we ever truly satisfied, or are we always yearning for the next big thing?
Beyond the meaning, let’s talk about the fashion itself! Rosalía’s red-and-white knitted dress is not only attention-grabbing but also incredibly stylish. The use of bright colors and the tennis-inspired design brings a playful yet chic vibe to the runway. It’s the perfect blend of sporty elegance and high fashion, making it a standout piece in the bustling atmosphere of Fashion Week.
Rosalía paired her eye-catching dress with simple accessories that let the outfit do the talking. A pair of sleek heels and minimal jewelry keep the focus on the dress, proving that sometimes, less is more. This styling choice emphasizes her understanding of fashion: it’s not just about the clothes; it’s about how you wear them and the message you convey.
As Rosalía made her way through the event, photographers and paparazzi were quick to capture her every move. With an outfit like that, who could blame them? The energy in the front row was palpable, and Rosalía’s presence added to the excitement of the event. Fashion Week is a time for bold statements, and she delivered in spades!
Fans and fashion enthusiasts took to social media to share their thoughts on Rosalía’s daring look. Many praised her for her unique sense of style and ability to make a statement that resonates with so many. Whether it’s through her music or her fashion choices, Rosalía continues to inspire her followers to embrace their individuality and express themselves boldly.
Rosalía’s fashion choices remind us of the importance of individuality in a world that often pushes for conformity. By wearing a dress with a message, she encourages us to think critically about our desires and the cultural narratives surrounding them. It’s refreshing to see a celebrity use their platform to spark conversations about deeper themes while still looking fabulous.
As we continue to watch Fashion Week unfold, it’s clear that outfits like Rosalía’s will inspire future trends. The blend of art, fashion, and social commentary is a powerful combination that resonates with audiences.

In a heartfelt video message shared on social media, the Princess of Wales announced that she has completed her chemotherapy treatment. “As summer comes to a close, I can’t express how relieved I am to have finished my chemotherapy,” she stated, mentioning her plans to return to public duties in the coming months.
The video, filmed by Will Warr, carries an emotional tone. It opens with Middleton walking through the woods alongside her husband, Prince William, and their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. It then transitions to her driving through the countryside alone. “The last nine months have been incredibly challenging for our family. Life can change in an instant, and we’ve had to navigate through uncertain times,” she says in a voice-over. “The cancer journey is complex, frightening, and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.” She wears a simple outfit, starting with a light blue dress and later changing into a patterned cotton midi.
The footage continues to show the family enjoying outdoor activities, like playing cards during a picnic, climbing trees, and running through fields, as well as spending a day at the beach. “With humility, it forces you to confront your own vulnerabilities in ways you never anticipated, offering a new perspective on everything,” she adds.
The video also captures touching moments between William and Kate as a couple. While the pair typically avoids public displays of affection, they are seen sharing a deep embrace on a blanket in the woods, with Kate resting her head on William’s shoulder as he comforts her. In another scene, they share laughter while lying on the sand. “This time has, above all, reminded William and me to reflect and appreciate the simple yet significant things in life, which many of us often overlook. It’s about loving and being loved,” she notes.
This announcement comes nearly six months after she first disclosed her diagnosis. Since then, she has mostly stayed out of the public eye, with only a few appearances, including one at Wimbledon. Now, it appears that Kate is finally ready to take on her royal responsibilities again.

Recently, a post claiming to disclose the artist lineup and set times for Coachella 2025 has been generating buzz on X (formerly Twitter). Among the notable names mentioned are two of K-Pop’s hottest fourth-generation girl groups, aespa and NewJeans.
Coachella has established itself as a prestigious platform not only for Western artists but also for global acts, including K-Pop stars. Following BLACKPINK’s groundbreaking performance in 2019, aespa, ATEEZ, LESSERAFIM, and others have delivered memorable sets, proving the festival’s potential for K-Pop acts to reach wider audiences.
The prospect of these groups performing at one of the world’s most renowned music festivals has understandably thrilled fans. According to the alleged schedule, aespa would take the Sahara stage—where BLACKPINK made history—while NewJeans is set to perform on the same stage previously graced by aespa.
However, as exciting as this sounds, the anticipation may be unwarranted. Upon further examination, the credibility of this supposed leak is highly questionable. The URL of the online calendar where the schedule was found explicitly reads “coachella2025fakesettimes,” raising significant doubts about its authenticity.
Moreover, the original poster of the tweet that spread the supposed lineup has since clarified that they also found the calendar to be an unreliable source.
For now, the Coachella 2025 lineup remains a mystery, with no official announcements made. Fans will have to wait a bit longer to find out which artists will perform next year.
That said, it raises an interesting question—if you could choose which K-Pop artists to see at Coachella in 2025, who would they be? Share your thoughts in the comments on our social media post and let’s see which names fans are hoping for!
