Cynthia Erivo leaned on Givenchy to design her look for her press night performance of “Dracula” at the Noel Coward Theatre on Tuesday in London. The actress stood tall in a pair of custom red leather boots, made for her by Sarah Burton, featuring the “Wicked” star’s go-to platform-shoe silhouette.
Erivo kept it consistent with the play’s overall color palette, opting for a red-and-black ensemble. According to the fashion house, she wore a custom red leather cocoon coat with matching red boots and a mini pinch bag to the event. The boots featured a knee-high design, a sharp pointed toe, a lofty platform sole and a pleated front shaft.

On stage, Erivo put on a monochrome ensemble, opting for a pair of pinstripe pants and all-black Puma Speedcat sneakers. The low-profile shoes were made with a black suede upper, including suede on the Puma formstrip, a trademark stripe found on the sides of Puma footwear.
The actress has been known to adopt a method-acting approach to promoting projects, opting for green-and-black looks while promoting “Wicked” and “Wicked: For Good,” inspired by her character Elphaba.

Erivo is taking on all 23 roles in Tony Award-nominated director Kip Williams’ reimagining of the immortal Gothic horror.
