Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey are two of Hollywood's biggest stars at the moment. First appearing together in 2024's Wicked, the two have set the world ablaze with their on-screen connection and chemistry in the second act, Wicked: For Good, which hit theaters last month.
In the film, Elphaba, played by Erivo, and Fiyero, played by Bailey, cannot deny their feelings for each other any longer, leaving audiences, fans, and critics captivated by what this pairing creates on the big screen. Even Glinda herself, played by Ariana Grande, could not escape the magic between the two. What’s even more magical than the connection the actors' characters share on film is seeing that their kinship extends beyond the screen.
In a winter photoshoot captured by the British lifestyle, fashion, and pop-culture magazine, Wonderland, Erivo and Bailey are giving fans exactly what they want: two talented artists who share an incredible bond that speaks for itself. Both Erivo and Bailey have shared peeks of the photoshoot on Instagram, and the results are captivating.

"These are everything, 😍" one fan simply said.
"Omg these are insanely GORGEOUS. I needed this today," another fan wrote in the comments.
Others have commented on the duo's rapport with each other: "And this is what you call a deep connection. I love their friendship. It’s so sweet, understanding and caring."
Yet another echoed the sentiment: "Aww! This so sweet! They have such chemistry together!💚"
The pictures accompany an interview that took place 2 months prior to the premier of Wicked: For Good, and will be featured in the magazine's upcoming Winter 25 Issue.Wonderland’s editors immediately embraced the connection between the two stars, and cited them for “sharing the same references, having the same humor,” and “finishing each other's sentences.”
The photos are bold, warm, and fashion-forward. A beautiful collection of talent in both subject and design. Add this to the ever-growing list of ways Erivo and Bailey’s lives have been changed for good—Since the release of their 2nd movie, Bailey has been named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, and Erivo just nabbed a second consecutive Golden Globe Nomination for her portrayal of Elphaba.
