Cynthia Erivo Wore McQueen On The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
Cynthia Erivo made a stylish appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday, where she spoke about hosting the 78th Tony Awards, playing Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl, and her latest album I Forgive You. But fashion-wise, you might have experienced a touch of déjà vu.
The British actress wore a red satin-trimmed McQueen jacket with a tuxedo shirt and kilted mini skirt—frayed edges and all. If you thought, “Haven’t I seen this before?” you’d be right. Meghann Fahy wore the exact same look just seven weeks ago while promoting Drop.
And while rewears aren’t uncommon, this one did raise an eyebrow—mainly because Cynthia is known for staying ahead of the curve. She’s a fashion leader, not typically one to follow in someone else’s footsteps, so this was a surprise.
However, credit where it’s due: Cynthia didn’t just copy and paste. Her version came with a significant modification. The jacket was tailored to cinch her waist, bringing a bolder silhouette and sharper shoulders to the mix. That tiny tweak gave the outfit a refreshed, commanding presence.
Instead of her usual custom Louboutins, she switched things up with Giambattista Valli platforms, adding a different energy to the look. It’s a reminder that with a bit of smart styling and personalisation, a rerun can still feel fresh—especially when worn by someone as dynamic as Cynthia.
Stylist: Jason Bolden.
