Wicked’s Costume Designer Just Revealed The Inspiration Behind Elphaba’s Look, And I Did Not See This Answer Coming

The insight about Elphaba’s iconic Wicked Witch costume definitely has me excited for what other details the Wicked cast will have in the movie, and the second part coming out next fall.

The lightbulb started glowing for Tazewell regarding putting his own mark on the fit while he was watching a documentary about mushrooms.

Paul Tazewell also said he ended up using felted fabric, gauze and chiffon to create Elphaba’s dress for the film.
