Cynthia Erivo and Ayoade Bamgboye Star in "Nigerian Wicked

Cynthia Erivo and Ayoade Bamgboye participated in a sketch titled "Nigerian Wicked" on Saturday Night Live UK, where they channeled early-2000s Nollywood fashion. Cynthia Erivo, who hosted the episode, portrayed Glinda in a metallic pink off-the-shoulder top, low-rise jeans with rhinestone detailing, and a silver gear-link belt.

Her look was complemented by a pink crossbody bag, pink bow platform heels, and accessories that included dark lip liner and stacked gold hoops. Ayoade Bamgboye, a London-born, Lagos-raised comedian and Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, played Elphaba, featuring green face paint and a dark brown flip bob.

Her outfit included emerald tailored trousers, an olive-brown draped cardigan, and a turquoise marble cowl-neck top. The sketch not only focused on the characters' outfits but also incorporated vintage backdrop prints and beaded door curtains, reminiscent of older Nollywood films, enhancing the cultural context of the performance.
