i do mourn glinda's wardrobe more than anything else the movies could possibly change. every one of her costumes in the musical is so deliberate and there's so much visual storytelling done with them. her skirts get progressively longer as the show goes on because she's growing up. she goes from warm colors to cool colors because she shifts from naive and sunny to melancholic and serious. her accessories go from little purses to actual jewelry and her wand and tiara as her "public persona" solidifies. green and blue are incorporated to signify her relationship with elphaba. you can trace her whole character arc with just the way she dresses.
in the movie she just wears pink. all the time. the same shade of it. a bit of lavender if we're lucky :/
#my girl used to have range!#<- sure grandma let's get you to bed#don't even get me started about how the bubble dress and elphaba's act2 dress were designed in tandem#to feel as if one is from the sky and the other from the earth ;___;#lbr they were never gonna design a costume duo as iconic as that#they gave it their all tho. i just wish they let glinda dress in other colors lmao#they still could've had 'pink goes good with green' as part of their marketing without dressing her ONLY in pink#rambles
