Elphaba's "sex cardigan" in Wicked: For Good may have divided the internet, but for actress Cynthia Erivo, the outfit had a meaningful symbolism. "The idea was to shoot the song with all of her armor on, with the hat and the coat and the cape. And I thought a couple of things. One, why, if she was in a space that was her own, where she felt the most safe and comfortable, would she still be in her armor?" Erivo, 38, told Deadline on Thursday, December 4, of shooting "As Long as You're Mine" in the now-viral cardigan.
