Ariana Grande and Michelle Yeoh joined their Wicked co-stars for a swanky night out at the Paris Opera on Friday evening ahead of the musical sequel's release. 

The actress, 32, who plays Glinda The Good in the fantasy films, looked sensational in a chic black gown with pink floral embellishments. 

Ariana's stunning look carried the pop of colour into the lining of her coat which she let fall down her slender shoulders.

Sweeping her tresses into a bun, the stunner accented her beauty with glam makeup and added extra height to her frame with pointed heels.  

Michelle, 63, who plays Madame Morrible, was also dressed to impress in a purple caped evening gown which she teamed with white opera gloves. 

While Elphaba actress Cynthia Erivo was not in attendance, the ladies took their seats alongside Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey and the film's director Jon M Chu.

Later in the evening, Ariana was spotted in another outfit as she arrived for a private premiere of Wicked: For Good in the French capital.

The star wrapped up in a long black coat as she stepped out of a private cab.

She later changed into what appeared to be a light pink maxi dress, which she paired with another set of sleek black heels.

The star appeared in good spirits, waving to fans as she made her way to the next venue.

When Wicked: Part One was released last year Ariana and Cynthia were the names on everybody's lips. 

However, it wasn't necessarily for their role in the film itself, which was less of a talking point than the bizarre press tour that accompanied it. 

Cynthia and Ariana were caught up in a series of embarrassing blunders, gaffes and mocked for their constant crying.

Indeed, one particular interview went viral around the globe, with the clip dubbed the pair's 'holding space' moment after Cynthia burst into tears at being told fans were 'holding space' with the lyrics of Defying Gravity. 

The fanfare around the movie went into overload, with merchandise galore and star-studded premieres. 

However this time around there seems to have been a noticeable lack of Wicked mania. 

And with less than a month until the release of Part Two on November 21, questions have been raised over where are Ariana and Cynthia. 

On Tuesday, Ariana missed the world premiere of Wicked: For Good in Brazil because of flight issues, claiming her team had failed to find an alternative arrangement to get her to Sao Paulo in time.

In a message to her fans, she said that she was 'heartbroken', adding: 'We sincerely tried everything we could and I apologize from the bottom of my heart.'

Cynthia was still able to attend, however, and made an appearance alongside Jonathan, Jon, Jeniffer Nascimento and Larissa Manoela. 

It was a muted affair compared to last year's world premiere, held in Sydney, which had recreated a yellow brick road for the stars to sashay down.  

While Cynthia and Ariana were splashed all over the internet during last year's promo tour, this time, the supporting characters seem to be making a splash. 

Jonathan, who plays Fiyero in the film, made global headlines this week when he was crowned People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. 

It marked the first time an openly gay man had ever been awarded the honour. 

He was appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote Wicked: For Good when the announcement was made. 

He said of the news: 'It’s a huge honour. Obviously I’m incredibly flattered. And it’s completely absurd. [Laughs] It’s been a secret, so I’m quite excited for some friends and family to find out.' 

Meanwhile, across the pond, it was cast member Michelle who was chosen to appear on Britain's biggest chat show, The Graham Norton Show. 

Her interview will be aired on BBC One on Friday night. 

While the film's leading ladies have not been in the press as much, Cynthia recently revealed she has been making moves to distance herself from being defined by the Wicked Witch of the West. 

Posing for Harper's BAZAAR's November issue, Cynthia spoke about parting ways with her character, she said: 'Elphaba will be part of my life forever, but we need separation.

'We're not one and the same anymore, but we can be friends.'

Similarly the star is also busy promoting her new book Simply More: A Book For Anyone Who Has Been Told They're Too Much.

She has emphasised that the book, due for release a day before on the film on November 20, is not a memoir but rather teachable moments from her life.
