Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande defied gravity with their Oscars 2025 performance.

The stars of Wicked brought their powerhouse voices together to sing a trio of songs from various Wizard of Oz projects, including one tune from their hit 2024 film.

Grande kicked off the show in a sparkly red dress with matching heels — which channeled Dorothy’s iconic red ruby slippers from the original 1939 film — as she sang Judy Garland’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

Erivo followed up with the ballad “Home,” from the 1975 Broadway musical The Wiz. She wore a strapless white gown with purple flowers — which appeared to take inspiration from Diana Ross’ Dorothy in the 1978 film version. Her dress notably also included a nod to her character Wicked character Elphaba as it transitioned to green at the bottom.

The pair held hands as they concluded their performance with a duet of “Defying Gravity” from their film Wicked, which is nominated for 10 Oscars. As the song continued, Grande stopped singing and moved slightly off to the side while Erivo took center stage to belt out the impossibly high closing notes of the song.

Those gathered at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater gave the duo a standing ovation. The camera also panned to show Wicked director Jon M. Chu and costar Michelle Yeoh — who wiped away tears — as they applauded the pair.

The Wicked costars’ performance is one of several musical moments throughout the night. Other performers scheduled to take the stage include Doja Cat, Lisa of BLACKPINK and Raye.
