Cynthia Erivo has mastered wearing green, having worn the color in various shades and styles for over a year. While her constant use of green may have initially been driven by the promotion of her role as Wicked’s Elphaba, it appears that her fondness for the color runs deeper.
Cynthia undoubtedly stuns in green, though the repetition is beginning to feel a bit overdone. Despite this, it appears she can’t quite shake her fondness for the color as she showed up in another green ensemble outside the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City.

Let’s look at her off-duty style and see how she combines streetwear and elegance effortlessly.
Cynthia Erivo Pairs a Green Sporty & Rich Sweatsuit with Ivy League Flair
I love how Cynthia mixed sporty and chic elements in this look. She paired a green sweatsuit with a camel coat and nude boots, creating a stylish and comfy ensemble.
Erivo exuded laid-back chic in Sporty & Rich’s Ivy League sweatshirt, priced at $165 at Net-a-Porter. It’s made from a pre-shrunk cotton jersey, ensuring a comfortable, relaxed fit, with retro athletic styling elements giving it an authentically vintage appeal. It features a New York Health and Wellness Club logo with the year 1994 at the back and left chest and ribbing at the cuffs, collar, and hem, as typical in sweatshirts.
Cynthia opted to layer a white long-sleeved top underneath the sweatshirt. The top’s sleeves peeked out from the sweater’s cuffs, adding depth and dimension to the outfit while paying homage to the classic preppy style often associated with Ivy League colleges.

She wore the matching Sporty & Rich NY 94 tapered sweatpants for her bottoms, which cost $175 at Net-a-Porter. They’re also cut from a green cotton jersey and have the same retro branding at the hip. The pants are finished with an elastic waistband and hem, creating a relaxed and comfy profile.
Cynthia scrunched her pants to her midcalves, tucking the hemlines into a pair of $32 white Alo Yoga Throwback Socks. This styling choice gives the look a street-style vibe, with the socks’ classic stripes adding a touch of retro inspiration.
Bold Accessories and Bling: Cynthia Erivo’s Maximalist Streetwear Edge
Erivo’s outfit included several jewelry pieces, highlighting her love of maximalism. She sported multiple multi-sized necklaces with large pendants, large hoop earrings, and tiny hoop earrings down her helix.
She also added some of her signature pieces, including a diamond nose ring, statement rings, and bejeweled nails. This bold accessorizing created a hip-hop-inspired look, further accentuating the streetwear vibe of the outfit.
Injecting a dash of glamour into the ensemble, Cynthia wore gold-rimmed sunglasses with ombre lenses.

Polished and Playful: How Cynthia Styled Casadei Boots with a Camel Coat
Many people, including me, hesitate to mix casual pieces like sweatpants with more sophisticated items, like coats and boots, but Cynthia Erivo does it effortlessly.
She teamed her green sweatsuit with a camel suede coat and stiletto boots, lending a polished sophistication to the overall look. Her effortless blending of styles is a clear testament to her fashion prowess.
With its slouchy style, wide collar, and lapels, her coat gives off a cozy and comfortable feel. The large buttons down the front, cuffs, and epaulets add a stylish touch, while the neutral color matches perfectly with her nude boots, creating a cohesive ensemble.

Erivo wore the Casadei “Flora” boots, crafted in Italy from supple stretch Nappa leather, making them comfortable for day-to-evening wear. These slip-on ankle boots feature pointed toes, 1.5-inch platforms, and 5.5-inch towering stiletto heels, creating the illusion of elongated legs.
It’s no surprise that Cynthia Erivo chose Casadei boots to complete her look—celebrities often gravitate toward the Italian brand for its distinctive style, high-quality craftsmanship, and luxury appeal. Known for its iconic Blade heel, Casadei continues to be a red carpet and street style favorite. You can shop the latest from Casadei at Farfetch.
