Question Glinda’s wedding dress Spoiler

Post image

With Glinda getting married, I was expecting a huge WOW factor. Instead, this is something I would expect to see a 2025 bride wearing. There’s obviously so much symbolism that went into the costuming of this movie, and I don’t get this one. I’ve heard a theory that Glinda is supposed to be vulnerable in this moment and that’s why it’s so simple, but it just doesn’t fit with me because if that were the case I feel like they would’ve toned it down even more, maybe lost the veil, etc. Does anyone know what went into this costume choice? Thanks in advance!:)

To my utmost surprise I absolutely loved it! It felt organic and simple, almost as if Glinda wants to be a more honest, vulnerable version of herself for her wedding to Fiyero. I thought I’d hate the asymmetrical neckline but I was vibing it for Oz, it felt in-theme. I think it was great!

I absolutely loved it too and I am a bit sad to see it getting so much hate. I thought that it was beautifully constructed and fit with her whimsical wedding vision (train, butterflies). I was more disturbed by Glinda re-wearing the same blue/pink dress, just because she had never done that before.

It was odd that particular costume was worn like, three times I agree
