The wait is finally over. We’ve defied gravity, we’ve danced through life, and now, we are ready to be changed for good. The whole world is buzzing, and it feels like we’re all living in a technicolor Land of Oz. With the Wicked movie taking over our screens once again, the ultimate question is back: in the magical land of Oz, who would you be?
Are you a Glinda: bubbly, bright, and born to be popular, wrapped in glitter, pearls, and all things pink? Do you believe that a “toss, toss” of the hair can solve most problems and that sparkle is a non-negotiable part of any outfit?
Or are you an Elphaba: misunderstood, brilliant, and wickedly chic, with a flair for the dramatic and a soft spot for emerald green? Are you more “dark academia” than “damsel,” with a rebellious streak and a library that’s your true home?
Spoiler: a lot of us are a bit of both.
And in true Oz fashion, you don’t need a wizard, a spell, or a flying broomstick to dress the part. This isn’t your usual trend guide. Think of it as a fun self-diagnosis, a love letter to Wicked fans, and a perfectly timed excuse to give your OOTDs a glow-up.
The Glinda Aesthetic: “Thank Goodness” (It’s Pink)
If your personal motto is “toss, toss,” your favorite color is “sparkle,” and you’ve never met a pastel you didn’t like, this is the aesthetic for you. The Glinda aesthetic is dreamy, feminine, polished, and always ready for the spotlight—think princess-core meets coquette meets “main character at Shiz University.”
You might be a Glinda if:
– You have a secret playlist called “For When I’m Feeling Pretty.”
– Your Shopee cart looks like a ribbon shop exploded.
– You believe in the power of a perfect lip gloss.

The Elphaba Aesthetic: “Defying Gravity” (and Fashion Norms)
If you gravitate toward quiet corners, deep colours, meaningful conversations, and outfits with edge, then welcome to Team Elphaba.
The Elphaba aesthetic is dark academia with a witchy twist—moody, intellectual, elegant, and quietly powerful.
You might be an Elphaba if:
– Your comfort zone is a stack of books and a cup of coffee.
– Your aesthetic board is 90% black clothing.
– You secretly believe emerald green is the most underrated shade ever.

Pink or Green: Why Not Both?

Here’s the twist that Wicked taught us: The most magical aesthetic is the one that embraces both sides.
Some of the best looks blend Glinda’s softness with Elphaba’s depth:
- Rock that black maxi dress (Elphaba) with a sparkly pearl headband (Glinda).
- Pair your pastel pink cardigan (Glinda) with edgy combat boots (Elphaba).
- Wear a smokey eye (Elphaba) with a high-shine pink gloss (Glinda).
- Put a dark blazer (Elphaba) over a white or pink puff-sleeve dress (Glinda).
If you’re watching the movie with your bestie, you need coordinate looks.
How to match without looking like twins:
-
The “Handprint on My Heart” Tee: Buy matching baby tees—one pink, one green—and DIY a handprint on them with fabric paint.
-
Sun and Moon Jewelry: Represent the duality. One wears a gold sun (Glinda), the other a silver moon (Elphaba).
-
The Color Swap: The Glinda wears a green accessory (honoring Elphaba), and the Elphaba wears a pink accessory (honoring Glinda). It’s subtle, emotional, and very demure.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Speed is key, my fellow Shopee Ozians! If you need your fit ASAP, filter your search by “Local” (ships from Metro Manila/Luzon). Local sellers usually deliver within 2-4 days in Metro Manila and 4-7 days for provinces. Avoid “Overseas” listings if your movie date is this weekend, as those can take 7-14 days to arrive.
Pro Tip: Look for items with the “Fast Shipping” tag for priority handling.
We’ve all been there. Most “Free Size” items on Shopee fit Small to Medium frames. If you are buying specific sizing (S, M, L), always check the size chart in the description, as Asian sizing often runs smaller than Western brands. When in doubt, size up and have it altered—it’s very Elphaba to customize your own clothes!
Pro Tip: Read the reviews with photos to see how the fabric fits on real people.
The struggle is real! The key is fabric choice.
-
Instead of: Heavy wool or velvet (which Cynthia Erivo wears in the movie).
-
Search for: “Sheer mesh top black,” “Linen maxi skirt black,” or “Cotton knit sleeveless top.”
-
Style Tip: Use a “fishnet” or “crochet” outer layer. It gives you that textured, grungy Elphaba look but lets the air flow through.
Assign “Shiz University” cliques! You don’t all have to be Glinda or Elphaba.
-
The “Plastics” (Glinda’s Crew): Have friends wear different shades of pink (blush, fuschia, rose) so you look cohesive but not identical.
-
The “Ozians” (Emerald City Citizens): Have the rest wear mismatched shades of green, teal, and wacky sunglasses.
-
The “Fiyero” (The Heartthrob): Someone just needs tight trousers, boots, and effortless “I woke up like this” hair.

So, are you a Glinda, an Elphaba, or a chaotic mix of both? Open the app, search for your vibe, and get ready to defy gravity (not your budget).
