Unleashing the Magic of Style: 5 Wicked-Inspired Plus Size Looks for Every Occasion

When fashion meets storytelling, something truly magical happens. As a fashion influencer who thrives on weaving self love and mental health into my content, I’m always on the hunt for ways to elevate my style with meaning. Enter Wicked, a story that’s been inspiring audiences for years, and now, as the highly anticipated movie release approaches, it’s giving me major fashion inspiration.

Elphaba and Glinda, the central characters of Wicked, are more than just opposites; they represent boldness, resilience, kindness, and transformation. Their unique journeys remind us that embracing the different parts of ourselves is key to unlocking true harmony. Using their stories as my guide, I’ve created five plus size outfits that channel their essence while making self love the central theme.

Whether you’re team Elphaba, team Glinda, or someone who embodies a mix of both, these outfits will inspire you to find balance in your own style—and life. Plus, they’re perfect for curvy bodies. Let’s dive into these Wicked-inspired looks and uncover the magic of fashion that’s meaningful.

1. Emerald Embrace: Bold & Confident

When I think of Elphaba, I think of power, resilience, and embracing the parts of ourselves that make us unique—even if the world doesn’t always understand. "Emerald Embrace" captures that unapologetic energy while keeping it casual and wearable for everyday life.

This outfit starts with a bold green Emerald City T-shirt (Amazon, XXL), paired with classic black jeans (ASOS, size 24) that fit like a dream. A statement Boohoo green coat ties the whole look together with an extra dose of confidence. To keep things simple yet stylish, I added Target sunglasses and a chic Ulta headband.

The takeaway? Standing out doesn’t always mean dressing up. Sometimes, confidence shines brightest in the most comfortable, low-key pieces. Elphaba teaches us that being different isn’t just okay—it’s powerful. And when you embrace what makes you "you," you inspire others to do the same.

2. Kindness in Bloom: Soft, Feminine and Intentional

Glinda’s sparkling personality is hard to miss, but beneath the glamour lies a lesson about kindness—when it’s genuine and rooted in compassion. "Kindness in Bloom" takes Glinda’s charm and channels it into a soft, monochromatic look that feels as empowering as it is chic.

This outfit starts with a soft pink ASOS sweater (size 24) paired with bold, wide-leg pants from Rebdolls (3X) for a modern silhouette. To keep things fun, I added holographic shoes and a matching Amazon purse with floral details. And yes, the SHEIN tiara (a throwback piece) adds just the right touch of Glinda-inspired sparkle.

The key message here is to approach kindness intentionally. True kindness means treating others—and yourself—with grace and compassion, no matter who they are. This outfit reminds us to embrace joy, radiate positivity, and never forget to uplift ourselves in the process.

3. Unapologetic Essence: Edgy, Resilient and Fierce

Elphaba’s journey is about resilience. She reminds us that taking up space and staying true to yourself—no matter how misunderstood—can be the ultimate act of self-love. "Unapologetic Essence" reflects her bold energy through edgy textures and statement pieces.

The star of this look is a faux velvet green dress from Cider (4X), layered over a black polka dot lace top from Lane Bryant. This combination feels elegant, fierce, and timeless. I added sleek Fashion to Figure platform booties (a personal favorite) and finished the look with a silver Free People necklace and an Amazon purse.

This outfit speaks to anyone who’s ever felt out of place or judged. It’s a reminder that your authenticity is your superpower. Let your style—and your story—make the bold statement you deserve.

4. Infinite Sparkle: Shine Bright Without Dimming Others

Who doesn’t love to sparkle? Glinda’s glamorous persona is always dazzling, but Wicked reminds us that true brilliance comes from within. "Infinite Sparkle" combines glitz and grounding elements for a look that radiates both charm and meaning.

This outfit features a pink sparkly dress from ASOS (size 26), layered with a bowtie button-down bodysuit from Cider for added depth. Fashion to Figure silver pumps add that extra touch of shine, while an Amazon clutch keeps things sophisticated and practical.

The best part? This look doesn’t just sparkle on the outside—it’s a celebration of inner light. Just as the sky has room for every star to shine, our world has space for all of us to glow. This outfit reminds us to embrace our brilliance and cheer on others as they do the same.

5. Harmony Within: Balance Above All

Elphaba and Glinda may seem like opposites, but together, they create something extraordinary. "Harmony Within" reflects that balance, blending boldness and grace into a look that’s all about embracing every side of yourself.

This outfit features a black and pink ASOS dress (size 24) paired with shimmery nude stockings and ALLY black pumps. The Amazon clutch is the perfect finishing touch, tying the look together with understated elegance.

Life is about finding balance, and this outfit celebrates the fusion of strength and kindness, resilience and joy. By embracing all parts of yourself, you radiate a quiet confidence and peace that inspires others to do the same.

What We Can Learn from Wicked

These five outfits aren’t just about looking good—they’re about feeling good and telling your story through style. Wicked reminds us that our differences, imperfections and personal growth are what make us truly beautiful. Whether you identify more with Elphaba’s bold resilience or Glinda’s radiant kindness, there’s a little bit of both in all of us.

Fashion is a powerful tool for self-expression, and these looks show how style can reflect our inner journey. Whether you’re stepping into your power, spreading positivity, or finding balance, let your wardrobe be a reflection of the unique, unstoppable person you are.
