Cynthia Erivo put her body art on full display at the Singapore premiere of “Wicked: For Good” on Thursday, wearing a dramatic black Vivienne Westwood Couture gown with a sheer cutout panel that showed off a cluster of flowers tattooed on her hip.

The strapless corset design was embroidered with black roses and accessorized with a matching choker and an array of Tiffany & Co. earrings.

The Westwood design team included a sneaky nod to Oz inside the dress, stitching a black witch’s hat inside the corset as an homage to Erivo’s character, Elphaba.

At the movie’s Brazil premiere last week, the 38-year-old actress flashed a trio of heart tattoos on her sternum in a custom Jean Paul Gaultier crop top by Duran Lantink. She and co-star Ariana Grande each have an impressive collection of ink, including matching tattoos on their palms reading “For Good.”

The London-born star has been working closely with stylist Jason Bolden to create a darker, more sophisticated aesthetic for the sequel’s promotional appearances.

The duo has pivoted away from the Elphaba green that dominated the first film’s press tour, instead embracing all-black ensembles that reflect the character’s evolution.

“I don’t believe in taking the last thing off — I believe in wearing as much as you want,” Erivo told GQ UK in a recent cover story. Jason Bolden/Instagram

“I think fashion is another form of art and expression,” Erivo told GQ UK in a new interview for the magazine’s Men of the Year issue. “I think that if you don’t use it well, it’s wasted.”

She continued, “I like being able to express myself through the clothes I wear, through the jewellery I wear. I actually think it’s another inward expression turned outwards. I don’t believe in taking the last thing off — I believe in wearing as much as you want.”

The “Wicked: For Good” press tour continues with a final stop in New York City on Nov. 17 ahead of the film’s Nov. 21 wide release date.
