A classic shirt with a white collar laid the foundation for the look. Erivo’s Elphaba nod included green earrings, shimmery green eye shadow and of course her Louboutin boots.

The platform shoes were in a green jewel tone designed with a calf-length zip shaft and a towering stiletto heel. The boots appeared to be suede, giving a soft matte aesthetic to her outfit. Louboutin’s signature red sole colored the bottom of the shoe.

Among many topics, Erivo discussed his shoe preferences with Hudson.

Hudson told her guest and former “The Color Purple” Broadway co-star, “Let’s talk about your shoe game. You — now, I didn’t know about you — you obviously love a stripper heel.”

Erivo replied: “I do because they’re really tall and they’re also extremely comfortable. There’s a really cool brand called Pleasers and they make stripper shoes. They’re for pole dancing, but you can walk in them and they’re really tall. I like a high heel, as you can see.”

She continued: “The wonderful thing about that particular brand is that it comes in lots of different colours. So I can have the same boot that I know is comfortable or the same shoe that I know is comfortable and I can be in the heel, and they can come in lots of different colors. But I really love any high heel.”

“You work well with them, you look great, so I’m not mad at you. She got the legs to do it,” Hudson said.

Erivo has certainly shown her love for heels throughout the “Wicked” press tour. See more of the shoes she wore while promoting the film below.
