Pink goes well with green, and it looks even better in two versions.

Grande, 31, stunned in a custom tea-length pink gingham dress by Thom Browne with a matching shrug and scrunchie. Of course, the gingham fabric is a subtle nod to this Wizard of Oz and Dorothy’s famous blue dress. She accessorized her look with pearl earrings, silk gloves and sparkly silver shoes.

For her part, Erivo, 37, made a stunning statement in a fitted, tailored Louis Vuitton gown with a dramatic cutout at the midsection. The British star completed her ensemble with Suzanne Kalan jewelry, including a diamond choker with an emerald pendant at the center.
