Jeff Goldblum and Emilie Goldblum Channel Emerald City Glamour in Burberry at ‘Wicked’ Premiere in London

November 19, 2024

Following his memorable Prada moment in New York, Jeff Goldblum continued his sartorial journey through Oz, this time donning Burberry, bringing theatrical flair to the UK premiere of Wicked. His choice of the British luxury house, now under the creative direction of Daniel Lee, proved to be a perfect fit for the London leg of the film’s highly anticipated premiere tour.

Jeff Goldblum was photographed alongside his wife, Emilie Goldblum, at the Wicked UK premiere, both wearing Burberry. Jeff stunned in a tailored black wool coat with steel-colored shearling trim, while Emilie exuded elegance befitting the yellow-brick road in a striking ruffled crystal paisley dress in Sandstone, paired with a shearling-trimmed alpaca wool sweater in Straw. Together, they embodied modern British luxury, blending elegance with the theatrical atmosphere of the premiere.

Goldblum, who plays the enigmatic Wizard of Oz in the $320 million adaptation, embodied his character’s commanding presence with a masterfully tailored Burberry ensemble. The dramatic black wool coat, accented with a striking steel-colored shearling trim—a signature element of Lee’s vision for the brand—created a silhouette befitting the Wizard’s grandiose persona.

The look continued with a shirt in Cobble gray and sharply tailored trousers in Cinder, demonstrating Burberry's mastery of tonal dressing. A silk tie featuring the house’s iconic Check pattern subtly nodded to Burberry’s heritage, while classic leather Derby shoes anchored the ensemble with understated British refinement. The result was a perfect marriage of Burberry’s traditional codes with contemporary sophistication—a hallmark of Lee's reimagining of the 167-year-old brand.

Standing before the premiere’s elaborate emerald gates—a stunning recreation of the iconic entrance to the Emerald City—Goldblum’s ensemble struck the ideal balance between London’s refined elegance and the theatricality of Oz. Jeff’s choice of Burberry for the special occasion not only pays homage to British fashion heritage but also highlights the brand’s evolution under Lee, where classic elements are reimagined in a modern context.

This red carpet moment adds to a series of carefully curated looks Goldblum has worn throughout the Wicked press tour, each chosen to complement Universal’s ambitious promotional campaign while maintaining his signature blend of sophisticated whimsy. The premiere itself, with its immersive sets and vibrant visual elements, continues the film’s strategy of transporting audiences to Oz before they even step inside the theater.
