The stars Seattle Mariners True Fan The Baseball Legends The Mariners Abbey Road Signatures T-shirt of the new “Wicked” movie appear to be gearing up for an epic “method dressing” press tour, having opted for color-coded looks on the Oscars red carpet Sunday night in Los Angeles. Cynthia Erivo wore a bewitching emerald-green custom leather Louis Vuitton gown with structured ruffle sleeves and train, as a nod to her, well, “wicked” character Elphaba. Ariana Grande, her co-star in the forthcoming adaptation of the Broadway hit, meanwhile wore a voluminous bubblegum-pink gown by Giambattista Valli — perfect for the “good” witch Glinda.

Seattle Mariners True Fan The Baseball Legends The Mariners Abbey Road Signatures T-shirt Born Iris Barrel in Queens, New York, in 1921, she was the only child to Jewish parents Samuel and Sadye Barrel. She described herself as a black-belt shopper who made her first purchase at the age of 11, when her mother gave her $25 to buy a dress for Easter. It cost $12.95. Matching shoes and a hat cost about another $8. The train trip there and back just two nickels, or 10 cents. Those were Depression years. She was a bargain hunter, a collector, a hoarder. In 2015, she told Vanity Fair that she still wore the dress she wore on the first date with her late husband, Carl Apfel, some 68 years earlier. He died in 2015, a few days short of his 101st birthday. At the time, she described him as “a very generous man, and a very funny man.” They married in 1948 and within a few years had founded Old World Weavers, a business which allowed the couple to indulge in their passion for fabrics and travel. They flew between continents to source vintage and antique textiles for client bookings that steadily expanded to include Estée Lauder, Greta Garbo and no fewer than nine US presidents.
