I haven’t seen Wicked yet but is there an in-universe explanation for why all the background people at Shiz are wearing uniforms but all the principals get away with wearing totally different outfits?

Edit: i know how it works in the theatrical version, please don’t explain theatrical costume design to me again, this is specifically about whether the costume design by Paul Tazewell in the movie Wicked is explained organically within the story
