Photos of Ariana Grande as Glinda on the set of the Wicked movies turned up online Monday.
The 29-year-old pop star, wearing a long blond wig, is seen in a pink gown and a silver crown while holding a sceptre inside a golden carriage.
The photos, distributed by the Splash News agency, were snapped on the film’s massive set built on farmland in Ivinghoe in east Buckinghamshire, roughly 65 km north of London. Cottages with colourful thatched roofs and the famous yellow brick road can be seen.
According to the Daily Mail, which was first to publish a set of the photos, Grande was shooting “No One Mourns the Wicked” in the scene.
