The highly anticipated film adaptation of Tony Award-winning Broadway musical ‘Wicked’ is arriving in cinemas on November 22 and like with other movies in recent years, such as ‘Barbie the Movie’ and ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’, the film release is being celebrated with movie-inspired clothing, beauty and homeware collaborations.
Brands like H&M, Béis, Cambridge Satchel, Target, Wella, Kipling, Bloomingdales, and Lush have collaborated with Universal Pictures on all things pink and green to transport fans into the musical world of Oz and the story of Elphaba and Glinda, played by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

“Our global merchandise programme across retail and theme parks reflects the film’s empowering themes and bold iconography, paving the way for even more excitement in 2025 with ‘Wicked Part Two’. ‘Wicked’ is very special to us, and we can’t wait for fans to embrace these inspiring characters this holiday season!”
The best ‘Wicked’ collaborations ahead of the film release in November
Cambridge Satchel x Wicked
British brand Cambridge Satchel has launched a 23-piece bag and accessories collection inspired by the film’s themes and characters Elphaba and Glinda. The Elphaba-inspired designs point to the dark elegance of the character, incorporating micro-pleated velvet on signature styles such as The Mini Sophie, The Bowls Bag and The Mini Satchel, featuring the Grimmerie symbol, offering a discreet reference to Elphaba’s spell book in the film.
These pieces sit alongside bold Glinda-inspired bags, such as The Binocular Bag, made from a pink sparkly material to reflect her bubbly personality, which features the iconic ‘G’ plaque, which is worn by Glinda in the film.
The collection also includes a range inspired by Shiz University, the school where Elphaba and Glinda’s unlikely friendship blooms, with The Classic Satchel in Shiz Blue, reimagined with a twisted strap reflecting the Shiz ‘S’ monogram, while trunks carry subtle references to both characters and their time at the university.
Alongside the bag collection is an array of Elphaba and Glinda-inspired accessories, including bag charms, mini purses and film quote stickers, plus a leather-bound spell book and bookmark. Prices range from 45 to 525 pounds.
Carine De Koenigswarter, chief executive at Cambridge Satchel, said: “Cambridge Satchel has a proud history of identifying and aligning with culture-defining moments in cinema. Our partnership with Wicked and the Universal team is the most exciting yet.
“We are delighted The Binocular Bag in pink has been chosen to be part of Glinda’s glamourous wardrobe and are looking forward to seeing the bag on the big screen this November.”

Australian fashion brand Camilla has unveiled three new prints inspired by the ‘Wicked’ universe in a collection featuring 85 styles for women, men and children, including bomber jackets, silk dresses and gowns, along with printed shirts, shorts and tees.
Launching on November 13, each piece in the collection features bespoke, graphic prints that are unique to both the ‘Wicked’ and Camilla brand aesthetic, drawing inspiration from Elphaba and her journey to the Emerald City. The ‘Defy Gravity’ green and gold print features quotes from the movie and Elphaba’s iconic hat combined with classic Camilla motifs of leopard print and features.
The ‘Totally Ozmopolitan print is inspired by the feminine beauty of Glinda with motifs of bubbles, butterflies, florals and tarot cards on a shimmering pink background, and the ‘Munchkinland’ is a whimsical print that brings together the icons of the friendship between Glinda and Elphaba, celebrating the magic of an enchanted realm in blue skies, rainbows and tulip fields.
“I am always drawn to travel, finding inspiration wherever I go. Our journey to the vibrant world of Oz is a visual feast. My in-house design team and I were granted unprecedented access to the ‘Wicked’ archives, and we have captured something essentially powerful and beautiful,” said Franks. “I strongly believe in empowering young women, and this story of friendship, empowerment and loyalty is particularly resonant for me.”

Fashion retailer Forever 21 has launched web-exclusive sequin jersey dresses, one for Glinda and one for Elphaba. The variety-inspired knit jersey dress is available in pink for Glinda and black for Elphaba.
