Cynthia Erivo Wore Givenchy By Sarah Burton To The Investiture Ceremony

Cynthia Erivo attended the investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, where she was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by the Prince of Wales.

One thing this occasion always calls for is impeccable tailoring. You simply cannot arrive at Windsor Castle without looking your Sunday best, even if the ceremony falls on a Tuesday morning.

The Wicked star, who is currently starring in a groundbreaking one-person stage adaptation of Dracula at London’s Noël Coward Theatre, leaned fully into her dramatic sensibilities wearing a custom Givenchy by Sarah Burton look composed of a sharply tailored double-breasted Pinch jacket paired with a sweeping black tulle skirt.

This silhouette is classic Burton. The sculpted waist and exaggerated peplum created such a striking architectural shape, while the softness and movement of the layered tulle skirt helped balance precision and theatricality in a way that felt entirely fitting for Cynthia.

I also love how the look subtly nodded to her Elphaba era, with the all-black palette, strong shoulders, and elongated proportions carrying that darkly elegant mood she wears so well.

The sculptural beret added another layer, giving the ensemble a distinctly Parisian finish, while the grey patent Givenchy Sliced platform pumps brought an unexpected modern edge to the otherwise formal silhouette.

Stylist: Jason Bolden.
