Sex cardigans: can the Wicked sequel make bulky knits strangely alluring?
"Name: Elphaba's sex cardigan. Age: Elphaba is a character in Wicked: For Good Jon M Chu's fantasy film, the sequel to last year's mega hit Wicked Part 1, which was adapted from the 2003 stage musical, and has just been released. That was loosely based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, which was a reimagining of L Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 film adaptation starring Judy Garland. I noticed it's hard not to."
"She gets him, takes him up to her treehouse hideaway, and you know Sexy time? Afraid so, while singing a song called As Long As You're Mine. And wearing a cardie? [Close your eyes, kids], there is some black lingerie involved, but the cardigan goes on top. Almost as if to say: you can open your eyes again, children? Well, there has been some speculation that that was what Chu was thinking,"
Wicked: For Good is Jon M Chu's fantasy sequel to Wicked Part 1, adapted from the 2003 stage musical and Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, itself a reimagining of L Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the 1939 Judy Garland film. Cynthia Erivo plays Elphaba, who shares a romantic encounter with Fiyero while singing "As Long As You're Mine." Elphaba wears a chunky, holey, pinky-grey cardigan layered over black lingerie during the scene, prompting the online nickname "sex cardigan." Observers speculate the costume choice and a PG rating aim to broaden audience appeal. The cardigan diverges from typical Vogue knit trends and elicits bemused comparisons, including a quip about Tom Daley knitting it.
