Cynthia Erivo elevated a stylish business look for an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” with a pair of vibrant teal Christian Louboutin boots, one of the few green accents that paid tribute to her “Wicked” character Elphaba.

Erivo was dressed in a gray and black pinstripe suit including mini shorts, an oversized blazer and a loosely knotted tie, all in the same pattern. A classic shirt with a white collar laid the foundation for the look. Erivo’s Elphaba nods include green earrings, shimmering green eye shadow, and of course, her Louboutin boots. Alongside Ariana Grande, Erivo has been method-dressing while promoting “Wicked,” which was released on November 22 to major box office success.

The platform shoes in a jewel-toned green hue are designed with a calf-length zipper and a sky-high stiletto heel. The boots appeared to be suede, which added a soft, matte aesthetic to her outfit. Louboutin’s signature red sole colored the bottom of the shoe.

Among many topics, Erivo discussed her shoe preferences with Hudson.

Hudson told her guest and former Broadway co-star of “The Color Purple,” “Let’s talk about your shoe game. Apparently you – I didn’t know this about you – like stripper hooks.’

Erivo replied: “Yes, because they are very high and also extremely comfortable. There’s a really cool brand called Pleasers and they make stripper shoes. They’re for pole dancing, but you can walk in them and they’re very high. I like high heels, as you can see.’

She continued: “The great thing about that particular brand is that it comes in so many different colours. So I can have the same boot that I know is comfortable, or the same shoe that I know is comfortable, and I can be in the heel and they can be in a lot of different colors. That’s it really. But I actually love any high heel.”

“You’re working them well, you look great, so I’m not mad at you. She has the legs to do it,” Hudson said.

Erivo certainly showed her love for heels during the “Wicked” press tour. Check out more of the shoes she wore while promoting the film below.
