Grande and Erivo, 37, committed to method dressing throughout Bad press tour.

For the New York premiere on Nov. 14, Grande leaned into her character in a pink strapless Louis Vuitton dress with a peplum silhouette. Erivo opted for a custom Dior look with an exaggerated waist and a sweetheart neckline.

In Mexico on November 11, the duo wowed once again with character-inspired looks. Grande wore an iridescent Versace dress with a deep V-neck and structured bodice in a shimmery light pink and white color. Erivo once again went for a black dress, but this time with an unexpected twist. The Thom Browne outfit featured long sleeves and theatrical hands on the shoulders, as well as a hooded top.

In an interview with content creator @aichark released on November 7, Grande and Erivo shared that their coordinating outfit series started on “day one” of Bad.

“On our first day of rehearsal we are both wearing Balenciaga hoodies. Mine was pink and said ‘gay’ and hers was black and said ‘Balenciaga,'” Grande revealed.

“It was never actually planned. Are never planned. We just show up and that’s what happens,” Erivo added.
